Gregory's Server@mark every bad idea can be smuggled through as a safety feature. destroying people’s capacity to replace parts in the products they purchase and own, or use whatever ink cartridge they choose, is for “safety”. a world of people completely incapable of understanding or exercising agency with the most basic elements of their world is the least safe kind of world, even if individual withdrawals of agency are in some narrow sense protective.

 @interfluidity That makes sense. I like the "highlight the domain" approach too. What about the mobile form factor where the text box is narrow?  @mark the mobile form factor is generally harder to invite agency within. but people should try! it’d be great if when clicking into a URL in a mobile browser, for example, an editable box wrapping the whole URL appeared, rather than just a narrow truncation that is hard both to see and edit. |
@mark there are thoughtful ways to balance safety and encouragements to agency, eg https://z0ne.social/notes/9s8x1hzmu3
