Hi there, Cass here. I will be your host for the next while. If you are #NewHere; welcome!
Let's start with a game! Dark patterns in websites are deceptive practices that trap users. A game has been developed to help people navigate this type of site. https://darkpatternsgame.productartistry.com/
When I encounter this kind of site I now abandon the cart. What's your experience?
Todayโs topic is suggested by @Cass M ๐๐ฝ๐ but thereโs always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheatonโs Law and enjoy the space.

But of course sites like booking com also use these patterns like only one room left. Fortunately the EU is also going against these patterns

In our own products and when I was working with voting machines we've tried to remember that some people various troubles dealing with screens. Of course there is the choice of colors to try to deal with the various forms of color blindness. Font choice is important as well - for instance Airbus uses the B612 font on cockpit controls.
But there are other issues - I have real trouble at times getting my fingers to do what I want - I often simply miss a touch screen icon. And I'm even worse when using a stylus type device. I have a terrible time filling in those bubbles on ballots and sometimes trying to draw a line between an arrow head and arrow tail on those kinds of ballots. I can do better with a mouse (which I use with my left hand because I got carpel tunnel from years of using my right hand.)

Forgot today was a holiday, and that my appointment is tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that my health insurance issue is resolved.

None of the reversed slider controls, "click if you want to not cancel your sub" sort of stuff. Tiny grey boxes to opt out, or way down at the bottom, below the submit button, a filled checkbox to subscribe to added services, or "newsletters".
Or some of my all time favorites, where you download a popular 'FOSS' application that has been clickwrapped with added junk. Sometimes the 'custom' install option would allow not installing the xtra PUA stuff. Not 'reallllly malware, but who doesn't need some browser add-ins or DNS redirectors?

I do kinda hope to see snow here - we need the water, it's been dry. But even more is that I am such an emotional wreck with this on-off-on-off cycle of pain and bleeding and infection that I put such distant events, such as next Saturday, into a fantasy realm of the hypothetical.

Last I heard before I gave up news over the return of Satan, Houston was forecast to get 8" of snow, with measurable amounts all along the Redneck Riviera. Gainesville might even see a coating of ice.

I've been imagining the removal process. I've got two images, the first is that I hold my nose and close my mouth while the doctor gives me a very tight squeeze. The second involves a tow rope and a winch.
