dark patterns are pretty well documented and understood at this point. I don't think identifying them is all that hard.
Infinite scroll is one obvious one. As well as forcing algorithmic feeds of accounts we don't follow.

for instance, we're hardwired, for some reason, to protect existing beliefs instead of updating them when presented with new information.

I hope this continues.
> The economic growth and so-called advanced economies (think Germany, The U.S, Japan, etc. What's been referred to as the “Global North”) relies by a large proportion on a significant net appropriation of resources and labor from the “Global South” (think Kenya, Peru, the Philippines, etc). This appropriation reaches astronomical levels. In 2015 alone, the north appropriated 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents, 822 million hectares of embodied land, 21 exajoules of embodied energy, and 188 million person-years of embodied labor; worth [a total] $10.8 Trillion in northern prices. Enough to end extreme poverty 70x over.

The West steals $10-$12 Trillion/yr in embodied raw material equivalents, embodied land, embodied energy, and embodied labour.

another useless digital minimalism gimmick
Compiler output is deterministic based on input code - which is typically reviewed before compiling by someone(s) who will be held accountable for it.
It's not just about simple miscommunications nor a mismatch in interests and physical abilities. Instead, leaving your partner behind on a hike demonstrates a major lack of concern of anyone outside oneself.
Leading some to think it's perfectly reasonable to prioritize finishing their little walk over staying with and caring for their partner in a time of need.
Every "alpine hike" might not be mortally dangerous, but that's not the only justification for needing care.
I suspect many relationships that ended after such hikes likely included previous moments of similarly demonstrated lack of care that were easier to ignore.
Loving someone is effortful and requires the selfless giving of oneself in time, energy and attention. Abandoning someone and leaving them alone on their own - even in familiar terrain, but especially when it's not - is the exact opposite of loving.
I'm glad everyone involved were able to see that their personal needs weren't being met and find ways to ask to have them met going forward.
Otherwise, what's the point of posting a pay-to-read article? it's inaccessible unless someone is already paying him and those people get these articles sent directly to them.
That's an ironic argument from someone trying to argue for Twitter
They're the king of dark patterns that bully ppl into at least signing up for services they don't actually want to use.
