I’ve been using 6/9/1969 since I was 11 using the same rationale and haven’t found a compelling reason to change.

Nothing screams “hires the whole person” like dismissing candidates for arbitrary reasons like being too busy to answer the phone.

He had a pretty reasonable response to the backlash, at least.

He couldn’t figure out how to 19 years ago and has just been pretending it’s some sort of compatibility test ever since.

I don’t think so. Bandcamp, specifically, only really keeps tabs on your purchases (ostensibly something you’re okay with, since that’s the point), your shipping/billing information (saving this is optional), your name (no obligation to be real), and your email (mine’s an alias).

Ultimately, these sorts of things are all trade-offs we decide for ourselves, but by creating an account, you have an additional layer of protection against losing purchased music, as well as opening the ability to stream your purchases (I don’t use this feature regularly, but found it useful once during a power outage when the nas hosting my music was down for a couple days).

With piracy, you can watch all seasons of everything for free.

If it were an ad, I’d expect the question in the subject line and the product name earlier in the post. As posted, the subject makes it about proton mail (useful if you’re targeting people leaving PM, but wouldn’t it make more sense to target people fed up with gmail?) and the question didn’t come until the end (well past were most people probably stopped reading the post).

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, just that the OP’s post wouldn’t be a good ad. Your comment, however, is short and still manages to knock a competitor to proton as being an known while pointing out that you’re happy with it. Makes for a much better ad.

Your comment feels more like an advert than the OP’s post.

Article gives no info at all…

Sounds about right. Anyway, I think all the recent articles like this are just extracting clicks from the original blog post @ https://www.troyhunt.com/inside-the-synthient-threat-data/

Accurately portrays how I’ve felt kicking the tires on the new digg.

and how could being drunk ever be an evolutionary advantage?

Lowered inhibitions in social situations can definitely lead to…evolutionarily advantageous activities.

And thus my new business model is born. For only $1/month, I will pay you to watch porn and test my payment processor by receiving a $1 refund.

It was a very intricate dick joke?

That’s absolutely a dick joke.

Them pressing charges gives him the right to say it without joking going forward though. It’s like the “register my hands as a lethal weapon” thing, but it’s his dick as a WMD being officially recognized by the government.

Sometimes there’s a “no” and might even be a “don’t ask me again” checkbox. These are usually just more dishonest variations of “ask me later” though.

Only the competitors that don’t steal the idea.

Rather than introspection, they’ll blame the new digg and revamp the UI again and/or add AI moderation.

Most other services are passively exploitative like you’re describing. I can at least see an argument for that being a trade-off: using a “free” service in exchange for profiting from your data.

reddit does this too, but on top of that is also actively threatening to ban users for voting. That’s just using the platform as intended.

As you noted, most of these services are hostile in ways that go unnoticed by the userbase. This is markedly more hostile than that, which is I think the point of the comment above. In an internet of services that are shitty toward users, reddit’s a bit extra shitty toward theirs.

If someone sees a bunch of people celebrating, mocking, and/or expressing apathy about someone’s death and responds by assuming all those people are evil instead of spending 15 seconds to search or ask why, that’s on them. If someone is totally oblivious of the other politically motivated murders that have happened recently, that’s on them.

Relying on social media entirely for one’s news is a choice. That level of ignorance is a choice. This behavior isn’t “critical to understand;” it’s a lazy choice that deserves to be called out and mocked.

I think this could work if they weren’t near each other. Specifically, I’d like INHALE in the kitchen and EXHALE in the bathroom.
