Honestly this is pretty funny. As long as they didn’t remove the dog version of crack from these, 25% off sounds good too.

They know exactly. Once you create a Twitter account, consent to cookies and link your Google account (AKA give them all your data) you’ll never see these pop-ups again.

Basically extortion.

brbposting ,

If you ever want to read anyone’s tweets somewhat chronologically or see someone’s latest tweet, you’re gonna create an account.

Tweets as view on people’s profiles are totally scrambled (presumably to thwart LLM-feeding scrapers).

It’s diminishing customer experience creep, except the company doesn’t understand what the user data means. They run A/B tests of different layouts, seeing what kind of feedback each gets to learn more about design choices and users. Each version should get its own feedback and then that data is compiled by data scientists into actionable feedback, things that can be done to improve the website in the direction the company thinks is an “improvement”.

Twitter abandoned those data scientists with the initial layoffs. There is no one to tell them what works and what impacts the customer experience, which is why each time the internal question of “how do we open up for engagement?” they answer it the same way, “Use existing user bases by linking their account to Twitter.” The result is several login requests all looking for the same cookie.

It’s lazy or inexperienced management. Knowing the type of person Elon hires, it’s probably both.

I do a lot of my browsing from an iPhone 11. At least twice a day, a page will crash and reload halfway through whatever article I was trying to read. I get it’s a few generations old, but since when do you need state of the art tech to view what should be a static page.

Anyone can make a good website. It takes a real engineer to make a horrible website that people will use just enough while suffering.

pupbiru ,

on top of what others have said - directing you to the app and login - it’s also likely just that teams don’t talk and make decisions that solve their local issue without too much for the whole, and then say “ugh team x solved this so inelegantly! we were forced to do our thing that wasn’t as nice!”

theneverfox ,
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

I mean, they kinda don’t. Companies are entities made out of policies guiding how people split up objectives into smaller parts. The more people involved and the more indirect it is, the less coherent it gets

Legal says you need one popup for compliance. Marketing or analytics say you need more users to log in. Elon wants to remind people to call it Twitter.

By the time it filters through managers to the devs, they probably know it’ll be a horrible experience, but what are they going to do? It’s not their job. They’ll get brushed off. There might even be a compelling reason to do it in this way - with this in particular, annoying and intrusive popups are malicious compliance with the EU cookie laws. But everyone seems to be doing it this way - that’s probably what legal is going to recommend rather than interpreting the law themselves

So the problem is the structure. If you want a hierarchy of obedient replaceable cogs, you’ve made sure no one sees the full picture

No way! Huge compliment! Thank you!

monsterpiece42 ,

Thanks for the cool pic! Is this your pup (guessing from username)?

WhippetBowie OP ,

Yup! Bowie is a six year old Whippet. He’s pretty cool!

monsterpiece42 ,

Awesome. How do you like having a Whippet? I have always liked them an Greyhounds from afar.

WhippetBowie OP ,

Bowie is awesome, he’s all personality and charisma, we love him so much. So I’m going to focus on the negative because otherwise he’s all positive. Bowie is such a good dog!

But, he’s way too attached to me and my partner which I understand is pretty common for whippets. We’re really having trouble going on vacation without him now, boarding has been really difficult.

Also we stopped crate training him so he burrows under bed sheets, not great for sleep.

Otherwise the best dog I’ve ever had or could hope for. We’re worried we’ll never be able to get another dog because they won’t be as cool

They’re all one and the same.

There’s often something of a progression to it, with many branching and re-connecting paths. I think sovcit winds up as the final form for some of them though, which few have the … talents to truly attain.

“She” like the character from a children’s pony show? How do you know this?

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Ffs let people like shit.

Lilo and stitch is a movie for kids and it’s still fuckin awesome. Dexter’s lab. Avatar. Just because something is made for kids doesn’t mean adults aren’t allowed to like it. Get off your high horse pony.

Maybe they have kids.
Maybe they watched it as a kid
Your accusation for merely knowing something about a kids show is wild

moon ,

The mental gymnastics to defend pedophilic bronies is impressive to watch

shneancy , (edited )

if you’re calling fans of this cartoon for children pedoes, but not doing the same for fans of any other cartoon for children then think to yourself - are you doing it because this cartoon specifically is more girly than others?

If the answer is yes then congratulations! you’re actually doing misogyny! :( and perpetuating that anything that is pink and for girls is not-allowedTM for anybody who wants to call themselves an adult or a man.

Cartoons made for boys or everybody are alright because boyish things get a pass, being nostalgic for your childhood is okay and fun :) and maybe you just like more innocent media that doesn’t get you down with mature themes and you enjoy letting your mind be happily engaged in stories and plots that are a little silly. But are those various shades of pink I spy in the artstyle? and most characters are girls??? That is outrageous! Clearly everyone who’s not a girl aged 12 who enjoys such cartoons is a pedo! Why else would anybody like something made with girls in mind??? (because of the following conversation i’d like to make crystal clear that this entire paragraph is using a little known linguistic technique called heavy sarcasm)

bonus points if you also hate Twilight for no reason (the reason is actually because it was a popular thing that girls really enjoyed and it’s customary in our society to laugh and riducule those silly women and their silly hobbies)

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

He is absolutely giving off misogyny vibes.
Or maybe it’s homophobia vibes? The two are often a package deal.

shneancy ,

Well, I guess it’s time for you to do some self reflection since that’s all you managed to reply with

moon ,

Nah I don’t, you had a very unhinged rant that went all over the place with silly accusations that are incredibly out there. Like you went from me insulting bronies to somehow suggesting that’s homophobic and sexist? I’m sorry but if you genuinely want to be taken seriously, you should have some self recognition if your reply is meant to be taken seriously, or just a rant to make you feel better. You need to speak seriously if you want to be taken seriously, and your points were ridiculous. There’s never going to be self reflection outside of genuine conversation, which this is not what this is.

shneancy ,

ah alright so it’s your reading comprehension that’s on the floor okay gotcha. Anyway, go work on that first and then we can have the “serious conversation” you so desire

moon ,

I don’t know if you understood a single word of my reply, but that’s okay. This thread is clearly not going anywhere.

shneancy ,

don’t worry i understood all of it :) but you clearly didn’t mine, like at all

moon ,

Then you wouldn’t have written a smiley face because it makes no sense there. But a full grown adult man-child has to lack self-awareness to think it’s normal to like a pony cartoon designed for literal toddlers. It’s incredibly creepy and makes you look like a pedo, on top of just being really stupid in these replies too.

shneancy , (edited )

bruh what the fuck is wrong with you? 😭 seriously, learn to read & maybe don’t hyperfocus so much on forcing other people’s opinions & actions to “”“make sense”“” through the window of your clearly narrow world view, maybe try to consider there are other options, think a bit, read the words and understand what they say. Jeeze, really, just stop making yourself look like an ignorant clown

anyway i’m very much done here, seems like you’re putting hard work into impersonating a brick wall and trying to explain anything to you feels futile

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Youre the definition of “projecting”

MewtwoLikesMemes ,
@MewtwoLikesMemes@lemmy.world avatar

Because I fucking love My Little Pony (4th gen, specifically). If you have a problem with that, you can leave.

moon ,

I don’t think I will, because you’d be thoroughly mistaken if you think your instance is a safe space for literal pedophiles watching toddler shows. Whatever gen doesn’t change the fact it’s cartoon ponies that are marketed towards children and you’re a grown ass creepy adult.

    the real crime here is that the date was wrong

    What bothers me most about the date is the Facebook post is from Apr. 21st 2022, but the document says 2024. How is this sovcit time travelling ?

    the_toast_is_gone ,

    On second glance, I’m not sure it’s blood, otherwise it would be more brown-ish. (Unless that’s a very fresh print.) It’s more likely to be red ink that they got off an ink sponge or something. At least, that’s what I hope it is…

    DarkThoughts ,

    If that was real blood it would likely be brown at that point. Looks generally a bit weird though.

    .9 troy ounce silver coin attached

    It’s a quarter.

    tiredofsametab ,

    Ending in 1964 (IIRC) some US coins contained small amounts of silver.

    Carrolade ,

    A troy ounce is much heavier than a standard ounce. A standard US quarter weighs 0.182 troy ounces.

    tiredofsametab ,

    yep! I was ignoring the weight part; I just think a lot of people didn't know US coinage used to contain some silver.

    strawberry ,

    is it? Internet says it's only ~10% more

    1 Avoirdupois Ounce (oz) = 28.3 grams
    1 Troy Ounce (Troy oz) = 31.1 grams
    A troy ounce weighs about 10% more compared to an ounce, which makes a big difference when it comes to precious metals.
    1 Troy ounce = 1.097 ounce

    Carrolade ,

    Yeah, I guess I underestimated the weight of a standard ounce. A little heavier then.
