oh I found it, there are 10 Notification categories, each with sub-categories. You have to turn off email individually for each sub-category. Talk about #DeceptiveDesign
#linkedIn

@paninid

#LinkedIn is a weird network. It always existed a bit in the shadow of the well-known social media. Part is professional network, 'rolodex-like' and then there's the timeline full of platitudes and full of people debasing themselves for 'business reasons' I suppose.

And LI is king of #DeceptiveDesign. Especially on the mobile side, if you refuse to use their app. The Firefox site is deliberately limited in many subtle and annoying ways.

Also guess LI gathers a rich wealth of #PII.

#LinkedIn be like "Oh, you fiddled with your notification settings? This is an opportunity for us to apply some #DeceptiveDesign and push *every* fart someone leaves on our network down your throat"

No, you are wrong LinkedIn. I wanted less notifications, not more. But what can you expect when you expose yourself to #SurveillanceCapitalism 🤷

New browser extension fixes YouTube thumbnails by:

- Removing sensational language from video titles

- Replacing clickbait thumbnail images with a still image that is actually from the video

@Floppy Oracle had those for quite some time.. didn't check if they still do.

@nektworks @Whiskeyomega

Good to point that out. I don't think this is intentional #DeceptiveDesign, but having equally prominent buttons and changing the text to read something like "Select another server", so no one interprets as "bring your own server" self-hosting, would be good improvement.

@JeffEvans I still see a way out for dog lovers. How to improve the FX? 🤔

Hey, Patreon.

Are you listening to the FTC?

"The agency can recover around $50,000 per individual violation of a consumer’s rights, and consumer lawsuits can recover damages for lost funds and potentially wasted time."

Also who is going to tell them that it looks very outdated?

This seems like a valuable effort which could help regulators assess what should be considered dark (or deceptive) design patterns with some sort of consistency.

Deliberately confusing email unsubscribe.

It is so disappointing to see @ubuntu reverting to #DarkPatterns and #Microsoft-style fear-mongering to increase sales.

The entire message is designed to make people believe that there are #security updates they're not getting without #UbuntuPro (which as far as I understand is not true). #DeceptiveDesign

Language as well as design contributes to the (designed in?) confusing nature of #CookieBanners.

How is a "normal person" expected to navigate and actually consent to a load of things they are unlikely to understand?

80-something% of cookie banners analysed are "illegal" in some way or another.

I'm seeing this #deceptivedesign pattern more lately.
Step 1 (Bait) - Give us your email address for 10% off
Step 2 (Switch) - Oh, we're gonna need your phone number, as well
Now if you bail, they already have your email address.
Proceed, they get your phone number as well.

Peak Design just lost a customer instead of gaining one, since I don't want to reinforce dishonest design practices. If you're a designer and asked to design patterns like this, please refuse and/or suggest alternatives.

@paninid #LinkedIn.. the heroes of #DeceptiveDesign. No enrichment by such integration imho.

You may look at @flockingbird

#Flockingbird created a #job search for the #Fediverse and intend to build a LI-like-but-better network..

Spotify just prompted me to listen in with a woman at the gym I don’t know. Stalkerware? Stalkerware Lite? I’ll let the reader decide.
A reminder to …
1) Explain new features to users when you roll them out
2) Make features like this private by default

#Microsoft und andere haben sich zahlreiche Tricks von Online-#Kriminellen abgeschaut. Und alle nehmen das einfach so widerspruchslos hin. Wieso eigentlich?

How nice of them to have the enabled switch black and the disabled one blue just to confuse you.
