I think it is mainly happening because companies don’t want to pay for user research/studies and would rather try and make assumptions about how their software is used based on aggregate data collection.

I use DuckDuckGo’s email hiding service. I have had sites reject signing up with a @duck.com email address. So services will definitely move to block Apple’s new subdomain only for aliased email addresses.

So far all the European digital sovereignty talk doesn’t mention mobile operating systems which are 100% controlled by the US. EU identity, banking, and even the new Wero payment app only works on iOS and Android.

As a programmer, jobs that say no Gen AI mean we value quality and people having real skills and learning instead of shipping low quality code to production as fast as possible to make the business metrics look good.

They did out feature Chrome by keeping Manifest V2 support.

AI is a monument to capitalist’s arrogance 🤣

I hope it gets some more attention. I joined in a Half Life Deatmatch session. Probably had been 20 years since last playing it.

There were a fare amount of AI related questions at the end. How do those apply to the C++ standard?

Does your cooperative have a website? I’m always interested to discover more co-ops.

They sit at the top of America’s most powerful companies.

I think by psychology they meant all the dark patterns and A/B testing manipulating the user 🤣

I just started watching it, on season 2. It is really good!

The title in English is “The Bridge” from 2011.

Interestingly, Afinum is also a German based private equity firm which owned majority shares of Threema since 2020.

Kind of strange to see the company bouncing around between owners, but hopefully it can remain a good product and not become enshittified.

This is a private equity firm? Was Threema doing financially bad?

The article didn’t mention anything about credit unions and how they compare to private banks.

One would think with a credit union the extractive capitalist goals wouldn’t be the main focus.

I don’t think two separate forms are needed for GDPR consent and ATT. Apps I worked on took the result from ATT and used that as the user consenting to be tracked in the app for GDPR.

I guess companies want to make it cumbersome as possible so user gets fatigued and just clicked through it mindlessly like with cookies banners on every website.

How was there double consent required?

Without ATT companies use dark patterns, opt-out, and over burdensome Privacy Policies or Terms of Service to get what they claim is consent.

When users get a straightforward choice to allow tracking or not, like with ATT, most don’t allow it.

I actually only played the original Call of Duty and the sequel on PC when they released 🤣
