I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

@xmunk @Sprite A dark pattern I DESPISE is the public WiFi at a local grocery store - after agreeing to the network's TOS you have to sign up for their newsletter to continue... unless you scroll down and click an un-highlighted button that says "no thanks, take me to wifi"

Or the newsletter options that are straight up rude...

SIGN ME UP!!!

no thanks I hate saving money, and myself, and I kick puppies.

Just write some fake address like [email protected], works 99% of the time

Sure... but also - fuck whoever wrote that. (And if you're going to use a fake address please use @example.com)

That does sound bad, but a grocery store's wifi? Why would one be using that?

[–] skyspydude1 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because if you're like me, I can use my phone in a nuclear fallout shelter or at Point Nemo in the Pacific and still have 2 bars of 5G, but the moment I step into the Home Depot or Kroger by my house, my phone barely manages a single bar of non-data service. If I need to make a call or look something up in the store, I have to use the in-store Wi-Fi.

Ah. Makes sense. I've only ever experienced that in one store, but I get it now.
