“Are you enjoying this app?”
I fucking was until you interrupted me.
@SecurityWriter "which answer will make you leave me the fuck alone?"

@SecurityWriter @RonJeffries I’d love to go back to the olden days, where it was only apps asking that question.
@dhemery @SecurityWriter @RonJeffries
It all begins with one question. We tolerate that one question. It doesn't stop there. Not one. Ever -
@SecurityWriter I pretty often take the time for a 1 star review for interrupting me especially since I have the iOS level switch to disable review requests, but apps use their own UI first etc…
@g @SecurityWriteri hate being prodded into being free labor for all these companies, i would not do it for a gift card so my default review is as low as i can go for everything when you prompt me cause fuck your scores forever

@dcbuchan @SecurityWriter Maybe Later!!!

@SecurityWriter A while ago, some authentication token application asked me if I was enjoying it.
Nobody would use this application of their own free will. It’s only ever used because your workplace or bank or whatever puts it in the way of doing what you actually want to do. The best rating they can ever hope for is “inoffensive”. And interrupting me further to ask for a rating *makes it offensive*!
@bob_zim @SecurityWriter This, but Teams/Outlook. Am I enjoying this app? No, I am not.
And while I know it’s a waste of my time, sometimes I provide feedback just as my tiny way of fighting back.

I HAVE NO TIME FOR YOUR SHIT, whomever wrote this garbage asking me stupid fucking questions about nothing. -

@SecurityWriter Another one, and I'm looking at you Fing, is would you like to try our desktop app which only runs on Windows and Mac?

@SecurityWriter I was having moisture problems in my crawlspace, hired a place to come out and do some repairs and install a sump. They did a great job, crawlspace is dry as a bone now.
But they asked me to leave a review on their Google maps page, and when I didn't, they called me repeatedly asking me to do so.
I tried explaining to them that I never leave reviews for any reason, but they kept pleading with me. I eventually resorted to blocking their number.
Apparently, this bullshit is spreading out into meatspace. We have really constructed a horrible place to live for ourselves.
@nuintari @SecurityWriter unfortunately, in this timeline, the score on Google Maps can make or break a local business, so I can see where they're coming from.

@SecurityWriter oh yes. You just captured my encompassing rage.

*20s into opening a new app*
“Why not take a moment to rate us on the App Store?”
Because I’m now going to make hating your products my entire personality.
@SecurityWriter All too common, it's so annoying. And desperate. It's everywhere. Glad I'm not the only one.
*orders an item of clothing and gets it delivered*
Four days later, an e-mail: "Hey, are you satisfied with your order? Would you kindly leave a review?"
Me, in my mind: "Well yeah, I would've returned it if I wasn't? Why, you want it back? Hm, review? No thanks, this was an ordinary purchase, I do not feel the need to waste time on that for a run-of-the-mill order. It does not warrant a positive or negative review."
Store, two days later: "Heeey, remember to leave a review!"
Me: "Well, now I've lost _any_ inclination to ever buy anything from you again..." -

@SecurityWriter @briankrebs
There are so many 1-star reviews I have posted on the App Store along these lines…Usually because I have lost my train of thought my a nag screen like this.

@SecurityWriter Any app that interrupts what I'm doing to ask "Do you love this app?" -- without the ability to dismiss the question with no answer -- will get the answer NO, with no explanation or further feedback from me.
Also... "love?" really?

@Jeffool I keep thinking of games to make for myself to help me learn stuff I want to learn, so maybe.

I wonder if there's a market for adult-aimed learning games.

@hipsterelectron this is true

@hipsterelectron i wouldn't call it impulsive so much as "occasionally prone to fits of passion"

Non è la rete tutta ad essere "tossica", così come non sono le persone comuni ad essere necessariamente "una massa di ignoranti" (qui mi viene da criticare Eco). Queste idee portano a volte a implicazioni pericolose, come quella che la democrazia sarebbe nei fatti impossibile ("basta guardare cosa succede su Facebook, Instagram e TikTok", dicono). Pensiamo invece a che differenza passi tra TikTok e Wikipedia, e riflettiamo su quello.

Bell'articolo. Il successo di Wikipedia, (così come quello di GNU/Linux fin dai tempi di Raymond, Torvalds e Stallman) dimostra come la gente comune quando si mette insieme, anche in modo apparentemente disorganizzato, può creare GRANDI COSE. Dimostra inoltre che tossicità e ignoranza dominanti in certi contesti non dipendono dall'intrinseca incapacità dell'uomo di dominare i propri più bassi istinti, ma da come certe altre piattaforme vengono COSCIENTEMENTE progettate.

@lritter be sure to check out # mosstodon, # catsofmastodon, # mastoart, # tokyocameraclub, # generativeart, and # genuary.
Sometimes people misuse hashtags, but it's pretty easy to stay on top of muting those people.
Also take note of the other hashtags you see on those posts as you'll find other interesting ones.
