The digital, cloud, and #AttentionEconomy fueled by iPhones and ZIRP is not an optimal system, rather it’s resource-intensive, wasteful, and full of dark design patterns.

It's a colonisation : colonisation-2_0
Extraterritoriale,
Immaterial rather than material
Subservience rather than appropriation
And a few other specifics...

@lauren This is why when I have to use Facebook it's in a browser.
In a virtual machine.
@PeterLudemann So you know how your browser has options to block ads and trackers? Yeah, none of that stuff exists on apps without more interventions at the device and the router level.
For most apps, they don't care about any of that stuff. They can curate a better user experience (so you buy more of their shit) on an app.
The ones you need to worry about are the ones that make money off ads, since your data is what's valuable. If you're on the same wifi as someone at the same time, and they look up something you were talking about, you'll get ads for the same thing. It's not necessarily the microphone.
Here's one such issue. https://www.cbc.ca/news/marketplace/mobile-games-kids-data-privacy-1.7476587
A Marketplace investigation has pulled back the curtain on how some mobile games, which seem to attract children, use loopholes in rules protecting kids’ data — allowing marketers to build advertising profiles tailored to them, which can then be more effective at influencing their behaviour.
@lauren I'm noticing logging in to bank accounts online is getting more convoluted. Are they doing it to reduce the risk of fraud, or is it to push more folk into downloading apps?
How long before we realise the risks we're running in being so reliant on technology for running our lives. I predict we'll be back to only using coins and notes at some point...
@lauren No, No, No!
I've lost phones, I've never lost my home (or work) computer.
I recently came across this is at the beginning of a survey ... can't remember who or what is was for .. just grabbed this shot and quickly left ...
@lauren maybe companies like eBay and stuff... but a pizza place in rural Pennsylvania?
"Download our aaaaaaaaaapp!" Is shorthand for "we don't know how to write a non-shite mobile-friendly website so we'll pay some Chinese kid to build an aaaaaaaaapp!!"
I don't have any apps I don't absolutely need for this very reason. Websites are bad enough. They become more and more intrusive every day. But apps might as well be someone in the room with you.
Thank you for the warning! 😊☮️
It depends whether the user has realised they need to go deep into their Android phone settings and disable the advertising ID.
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/how-disable-ad-id-tracking-ios-and-android-and-why-you-should-do-it-now
(and whether the web browser they would use instead is still enthusiastically allowing every single third-party cookie, like Google Chrome)
The ad identifier - aka “IDFA” on iOS, or “AAID” on Android - is the key that enables most third-party tracking on mobile devices. Disabling it will make it substantially harder for advertisers and data brokers to track and profile you, and will limit the amount of your personal information up for...
If you use android, [not iPhone]
Add the duckduckgo browser,
(we have all uses their browser search eh?)
It blocks apps background 24/7 from communicating with their home based OR others bases!
Note: it gives you a total of blocks MINE has been 84,000+ in 7 days what's yours?
So it Seems it does a really good job too!

@taketwo
Exactly. This is why I hate https://www.easypark.com passionately.
@lauren it is one reason and a bad enough one to be singled out, but not the only reason.
A website, especially on the small screen of a mobile can be difficult to use and is one among possibly thousands of bookmarks. An app better integrates with the OS and once installed might see some more "sticky" usage.
But that is design dependent, you could have more PWA oriented mobiles. The broader question to reflect is the incentives generated by the designs and choices of gatekeeping platforms.
