Good grief, not this company again.

No. I did not use their app and I never will. It was an ordinary third party shopping site and I was trying to pay with my credit card information like online shopping has always functioned.

To be clear, you did use the shop app, you just didn’t realize. That’s the screenshot you’ve shared.

This is blatant use of dark patterns. For the last 20 years it has always been a box to check for "remember my information". People tend to overlook that statement if they're in a hurry or distracted. The big orange "pay now" button right below it makes it even less noticeable.

I agree with this. To be clear they probably make an account for you no matter what, since it’s impossible to fulfill an order without doing so. How else would you get shipping information, updates, etc. but yes, they should really make it more clear.

Also I wonder when that changed that, or if it’s location dependent, because I remember it being a check box that was deselected by default.

I’m very confused by what you are saying here. So you chose the shop app way of paying, or it was the only option, and the only thing you forgot was to click “not save”?

Like, they are still the ones processing your data. They get your email even if they don’t create an account for you.

Use a credit card generator to buy stuff online. Then it doesn’t matter if it gets stolen. Privacy.com is available in the U.S. not sure what’s available elsewhere. And you can use fake names and addresses with them.

lol you use that response a lot don’t you

Yeah, just another liar on the internet. Typical.

Yeah, as soon as it was added I immediately saw a massive decrease in effectiveness. It starts by showing exactly what I want, then I hit tab and it autocompletes some bullshit that I do not want. I then have to undo and retype everything rather than using tab. It’s a insane failure of dev tooling.

You are the first I’ve heard of this, burden of proof is on you. Claiming there is proof then refusing to provide it, saying others should look it up is actually so common on Lemmy that it’s an instant indication that someone is lying out of their ass.

If you’re on iOS you can use the built in Reminders app.

any senior carpenter that is doing the easy work has a jig they custom built to do it in a tenth the time. same for a dev. templates in your ide, the use of specific libraries that make developing tests 10x faster than a normal junit test. Whatever it is, if you're a dev with decades of experience and you haven't gotten to the point that the 'grunt work' isn't a few seconds of time then you're not a good dev, you're a shit dev who sat on their ass for decades doing nothing.

And now AI has given you the chance to be even better at that, sitting on your ass doing nothing.

There are papers that are pro and con

proceeds to not mention or link any paper that is pro.

lol no. this is what a mediocre dev thinks.

good grief, AI powered autocomplete is so bad it slows down my development by an order of magnitude.
