Well, actually, it's "just desserts".

I did not like him on a trip.

Like a train station?

Lol, title fail, but I finally got around to watching "Before Sunrise". I was taking a flight and loaded it onto my ipad. Then after takeoff, I realised I had the sequel, "Before Sunset". How lucky was I that the in flight entertainment had the one I wanted. Strange coincidence.

I now have the sequel to watch on the flight home. It's a night flight though, so I might try to sleep instead.

I enjoyed the movie but it wasn't the revelation I'd hoped it to be. I suppose that was inevitable after having it on my watchlist for years at this point. I enjoyed their banter and their evening but there were too many points where I felt they just continued the plot as planned but real people wouldn't have. Suspension of disbelief was what I'd hoped I wouldn't need.

It's not marketing genius to have people talking a out how stupid your brand is, especially if you try to position yourself as a premium brand.

It's not a surprise that Netflix is winning. They haven't become HBO before HBO could become Netflix. But HBO stopped being able to be HBO.

Pretty much. App 2 app.

So pyramid schemes on both sides?

Lol, they can't remember all the things they are outraged about. If you're expecting consistency and logic, you're talking about the wrong group.

Yes, they are just data, but commonly that data encodes a url.

I agree, it could be made more secure, but getting rid of url shorteners and trackers that obfuscate real urls would be a step in the right direction with no new software needed.

I’ve had one recently that used a similar site. It now has an ad and a click through to get to the site. I think it was meant to be a menu. Enshittification at every point.

Good for you to abandon dark patterns, however, people prioritising socialising might lead to less dark patterns in general.

Australia did too. QR codes are probably the least invasive tracking you can imagine. You can open each one in a clean browser, like Firefox focus, if you like. They are just a shortcut for entering urls. If china wants to track its citizens, it’s not with QR codes as they track so much more from the data already on your phone.

Most places with public transport have moved from cash to card based payment. It’s all traceable already. Sure, some places, you don’t need to register the card and can cycle through some, but many places you need to register to use one, or register for reduced fares.
