India has officially outlawed nine types of #UX #DarkPatterns, including saying "Hurry, only X amount left;" adding "processing fees;" adding dire language to opt-out buttons ("No, I'd rather not protect my purchase"); forcing people to agree to a EULA; forcing people to call a phone number to unsubscribe; using confusing opt-out language ("No, don't unsubscribe me"); blending ads into editorial content; and forcing people to click "remind me later" every day. https://bootcamp.uxdesign.cc/dark-patterns-are-now-illegal-in-india-6b3c35c5ce50

I wish there were more crystal girlies in tech.
They wouldn’t blame an incident on “human error,” they’d be scouring traces for unwanted energy, probing liminal spaces for malevolent spirits, writing new spells-as-code for automated cleansing.
Key contributing factors would be trickster fae, confusing incantations, unsafe reagents.
When Neptune is ascendant, they’ll update the test suite and save your ass. Saturn in transit? She’ll verify the observability pipeline by moonlight just in case.

🔥🔥 Am 3.6. erscheint mein Buch „Machtübernahme“!
Eine konkrete Anleitung: Was können wir tun, wenn die AfD an die Regierung kommt? Wenn es euch interessiert, bestellt es bitte jetzt schon! Das hilft dem Buch sehr. Vielleicht auch verschenken?
Im Buch geht es um Vorhaben, die die AfD in einer Regierungskoalition schnell umsetzen könnte, z.B. Präventivgewahrsam & Schwangerschafts-Zentralregister. Und konkreten Widerstand: Generalstreik, Remonstrationen, Leaks...

OK people, there won´t be a #Eurovision song contest this year.
They cancelled it, because Finland has clearly already won.

Someone should write a book for kids called How to Handle Your Difficult Parents
Possible chapters:
- "The Behavioral Challenges of the Middle-Aged Brain"
- "How to Be Caring but Firm in Resisting a Controlling Parent"
- "When Mom or Dad's Self-Esteem Hinges on Your Accomplishments"

Gespräch mit meinem Vater über die #Afd.
Er hat deren Programm gelesen und meint:
"Die werden innerhalb der ersten drei Wochen eine Diktatur errichten und dann alle nach und nach rausschmeißen, die ihnen nicht passen. Aus dem Land, aus Firmen, den Medien, Gerichten, überall. Die haben Listen. Das 'Die Demokratie ist in Gefahr' von unseren Politikern ist zu abgehoben. Die müssen viel einfacher erzählen, was passieren wird. Die schmeißen Dich aus der Firma, weil Dein Schwiegervater in der SPD ist"

Supermarktkette warb in #Sachsen mit dem Slogan „Für Demokratie. Gegen Nazis“. Nach Kundenprotesten wurde die #Werbung zurückgezogen...
„Durch den Austausch mit unseren Kunden, habe ich gelernt, dass sich viel mehr Menschen mit dem Wort Nazi identifizieren, als ich dachte“

google has unleashed ungodly AI nightmares beyond my comprehension
so awhile ago, i've set up screen call on my android phone, because it's pretty useful for stopping robocalls from annoying me, since usually they just hang up, or google knows it is just a scam call.
well. i got another call in, but it couldn't get the transcript. so, i played the audio back.
to my fucking horror, GOOGLE IS USING MY OWN VOICE TO ANNOUNCE IT'S PRESENCE AS THE VIRTUAL ASSISTANT.
nowhere, i mean fucking NOWHERE did they ever tell me this was a thing they'd do. in fact, i'm not able to find a single fucking thing about this online!
i don't even have the fucking option set for them to preserve my voice history, the fact they have audio recordings of my voice, and enough of them to make a fucking AI-generated version of my voice, without my god damn consent, is... i don't even know how to put it.
google, i sincerely hope someone burns down all your data centers

Linkedin auf. Oh, die kontinuierliche Erinnerung daran, dass ich echte Erwachsene kenne, die richtige Jobs haben. Und angestrengt glücklich auf Messeständen in Kameras gucken. Linkedin zu. Tiktok mach ich gar nicht mehr auf. Das ist Klick-Crack wo es draußen dunkel ist, bevor ich das wieder zu bekomme. Bsky auf, “wer von euch war das?” “was macht das mit dir” - Ah. Da ist Schmunzeltwitter hin. Gut. Bleibt da bitte.
Also… So alles in allem?
Wir habens hier schon echt kuschelig.
