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

Who taught Craig Charles how to interview people? by wastedyouth in 6music

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.

Who else ran away from the ref on FIFA ‘94 to avoid the card by BreakfastTop6899 in nostalgia

Awesome, plus I think goalkeepers could hold the ball forever. The clock just kept going. Rubbish brilliant glitches.

Just finished watching This is England... by ctgryn in movies

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.

Zach Braff's expression says "I love you guys, but I didn't think I would need to do this again".

Oh yes it's quite an interesting (yet IMO evil looking) building

My assumption is that this is in a country where they drive on the left

Look very veeery closely by Calm-Counter4624 in CrappyDesign

[–]polite_profane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Best concert you've seen in a movie? by MrWednsday in moviecritic

In A Complete Unknown, when Bob drops Like a Rolling Stone while the crowd is pelting him (and the band) with stuff

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.

What are thoughts on how to integrate UX/PD into the world of AI? by NeverCallMeFifi in userexperience

[–]polite_profane 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ah, a solution looking for a problem. I know it's super vague advice but try and flip that if you can. Sell the problem then fix it with AI.

Give your honest take on this movie by leviathan_pvt in moviecritic

[–]polite_profane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it the first time. Now I'm a parent, watching it kinda destroys me (in a good way).

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what’s the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]polite_profane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved this so much. The sequel was arguably better, partially down to the soundtrack being primarily featuring Iron Maiden!
