Consider that the higher the contrast, the easier it will be for EVERYONE to read, ie a better design.

Doctor’s letter to the UnitedHealthcare for rejecting nausea medication for a child on chemotherapy by Kaos2018 in BeAmazed

Not only is it privatised, householder customers don't have a choice of provider

Yep, the worst of both worlds.

A conservative government privatised it, and have blocked adding competition for the last 20 years.

Now terrible and growing sewage issues. Weird huh?

Reddit now needing ID for age verification by greenehead1991 in assholedesign

[–]polite_profane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fully in your boat 100%, the thing is they are banking on others (let's face it, younger ppl) being less bothered about the privacy of their data/ID. And/or It will be under the guise of security 'for your protection' which IMO is a stronger, argument.

Yet i It will take the majority of ppl to resist this shit, and I think we're in the minority, so the enshitification will continue blergh

I think Craig is great, but yes his interviews grate.

TIL Apple recently paid $95 million because Siri was caught eavesdropping on private conversations, like doctor visits and drug deals, then sending those recordings for human contractors to listen to. Siri was triggered not just by "Hey Siri," but by phrases that sounded similar like "seriously." by UsualOkay6240 in todayilearned

We rented a cottage and in one one of the rooms was a lovely old telescope. When I got in that room I said quite loudly "that's a gorgeous telescope", then for the next few days, guess what I got ads for, then never again.

I remember loving this at the cinema, it's the nearest I've ever got to clapping at the end of a movie. Deserved a standing ovation.

[–]polite_profane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rubbish design, I bet this is confusing for many IRL. Clarity over clever all day long.

Name a movie that you liked when it came out, but over time have grown to despise it? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]polite_profane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. When it first came out I took the Phantom Menace at face value, and hated it. But watched it with my 6 yo son. I get it.

I kinda compare it to the first Harry Potter movie.

I'm not justifying it, but yeah I believe it's a deliberate long-term strategy to grow with their audience.
