Today I encountered the single worst feature I have ever seen on an allegedly legitimate web site: A pop-up demand to allow the site to push notifications to your computer "to prove you are human." Someone needs to go to hell for that one, as painfully as possible.
Thinking once again of the I, Robot short story where an incredibly efficient and effective lawyer running for mayor has to prove he's not a robot by violating one of the three laws, so he wins over the electorate by punching a constituent.
I've recently seen news websites in the EU (from established newspapers) saying you have to accept third party cookies in order to read the site for free OR pay 1€ a day to read the news 🙃
As a way to get around the EU law forcing them to allow people to opt-out of non-essential cookies.
I fail them routinely:
That corner of that image has part of that bike among the bikes I’m meant identify!
I refuse to kowtow to what they want me to answer that does not reflect reality!
I often fail that type just because of how tiny the pics are vs. the specificity of the instructions. "Which of these photographs contains exactly 11 palladium atoms?" Fk off, I'd HAVE to be a robot to see that.
I dunno John. We still need to consider whomever added social media features to our smartphone text apps.
I mean, I honestly, I do, absolutely want to see pictures of our cousin Linda’s new granddaughter.
But I don’t care if our sister-in-law “likes” the photo
Have you forgotten about those home pages that used huge imagemap graphics? You couldn't see the main navigation menu or what to click on until the entire image loaded--back in the days of dial-up!
