I feel this is partly caused by designers working with huge screens and forgetting that smaller screens exist.

For stuff like that, I always use this bookmarklet which instantly zaps any sticky elements.
Would be cool if it said anything other than something like “I’m sorry I do not understand your request”.
There are also those headers that auto-hide when you scroll down, but pop back up at the slightest upward scroll, blocking the line at the top of the screen that you were trying to read.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those numbers are made up. Just dark patterns to make it seem like the product is hot.
Though I’ve found it kinda interesting when websites show little messages like “Someone from country just bought item!”.
Literally why do news websites play some random unrelated video when I’m trying to read an article…
I used a shopping website today, where mousing over the header pops up a fullscreen navigation menu, and the only way to close it is to mouse over an empty part of the header. Made me do a lot of cursor gymnastics when trying to switch tabs while avoiding the damn menu.
Some websites like Behance try to ‘fix’ this by making the footer sticky, but their footer links are useless anyway. It just wastes more screen space along with the sticky header.
Agreed. So many websites want you to sign up for their newsletter before you’ve even read the first line of text.
For me it’s Google search’s tab order. They always switch up the tabs for web, images, videos, etc. depending on what you search for. It makes the experience very unpredictable and annoying.
Recently they’ve also started putting related searches next to the tabs 🤦
“Are you always this quiet?”
“It usually takes me some time to be comfortable around new people.”
I’ve found that people are usually quite understanding and make an effort to include you in conversations if you just be honest with them instead of being snarky.
There is a GitHub issue about it. Looks like the endpoint could be added if someone is willing to work on it.
From what I understand, those shadow profiles are based on information that Meta gets about you from other users, or through things like cookies and tracking pixels.
Suppose that Meta builds a shadow profile for each fedi user, then how would they link it back to you? They cannot get your IP address from just being federated with your home server, and they cannot inject a tracking pixel to your server’s website. Is there another way that they could use your fedi activity to serve you targeted ads?
I don’t fully understand—would Meta be able to serve you targeted ads based on your non-Threads fediverse activities? Where would these ads appear? How do they know it’s you just from your fediverse accounts?
Not surprisingly, it does all the data tracking that it can for a “text-based conversation app”.
To save a post, you need to tap the bookmark icon next to the downvote arrow. Comments can also be saved by swiping them to the left until you see the bookmark icon.
To view your saved posts, open the navigation drawer (hamburger menu) on Connect and tap on Saved, which is just below Profile.
Prefixing it with an exclamation mark automatically converts it into a link.
Guess you’re visiting the Titanic shipwreck in a submarine…
I like USB-C especially when it clicks.
