I wonder if this has something to do with Pepsi cans being made of (tin-plated?) steel, as opposed to Coke cans made from aluminium. Or maybe it's just marketing tricks

In any case, I feel dumb for discovering this _after_ I had bought a crate of bottled Pepsi and an 18-pack of canned Coke 🤦🏻‍♂️

@ruhrscholz something about noob vs pro and how the spectrum is the same at the ends

One single good use case for them is third-party widgets where you do things that require authentication. Like those Disqus comment widgets you used to see everywhere.

@kytta I think it's been seven or eight years for me. I remember the first Web site that didn't work: whitehouse.gov. Stuck in a very fast reload loop!

I think it only took a few years before problems with it completely went away.

@kytta I find it often breaks online stores and booking sites.

But it’s a good thing! Instead of mindlessly scrolling and liking half the posts I see to feed the algorithm with more data and opportunities to grow, I have to stop and think whether this post is good enough for me to relay it to hundreds, potentially thousands, of other people. Even if I’d put ‘boost ≠ endorsement’ in my bio, it still would feel like one. I think (or hope) that it’s similar to many more people on the Fedi, so that it leads to a more healthy social feed over all.

@drewdevault Seemingly significantly more than they can make with selling off the access data to other advertisers or other interested parties. Is the price for personal data really that low?

@drewdevault That? Probably not much. Dealing with "you host CSAM and we are mad" / "you host malware and we are mad" / "you host copyright infringing content and we are mad" / "Google supports racism / misogyny / hates trans people by enabling XXX to use their URL shortener?" A lot more.

@drewdevault Google maps links look like https://maps.app.goo.gl/some-id, are they cutting that as well??

@vwbusguy I mean, I agree, that PPA is a good standard for the industry, but I don't think browsers should be build for the industry, but rather its users.

But I guess as so often, if you are a company, and you have to keep the lights on, non-paying users aren't very helpful and so you cater to the people, that fund you .-.

In some ways, #Firefox deserves credit for at least making the setting visible in the main settings. There are plenty of examples of other browsers burying far more nefarious things. That said, it's a hard thing to reel back in now. The bigger story here is yet another prominent #opensource tech company fumbled communications about a change that users cared about more than the company expected.

Let this be a lesson about the value of investing in #community facing people to drive decisions.

@vwbusguy There's a name for your behaviour: Stockholm Syndrome.

"introducing react into our project would solve the problem of us not using react"

Did they have any actual python snakes there?

After 9 hours of traveling (of which more than two were spent waiting for my connection), I'm finally home. Missing carriages, belated connections, having to walk home due to a wicked bus schedule — this ride home was more unforgettable than the conference 😂

@kytta not only that, but the training data requires no notice either! 🤪

@ruhrscholz That's dangerous. You have to taper it down slowly.

@judy2k Mmmm, bacon.

@hroncok @mgorny I wonder what JP and @kumarvibe think about this

@kytta I think it's a nice way to gradually deprecate and then remove the old way of doing things
