Dear every programmer working on websites and browsers:
-
@joby The sad thing is that I actually feel some goodwill towards software developers (building software myself) And believe that truly beautiful software thrives on constant user feedback and that if you make it easy for all your users to help you, you can build something beautiful. Nobody is interested in that business model anymore. Sadly the most broken bits of software also not coincidentally have the worst feedback systems. I once tried to report a bug for something in the Microsoft store and it went to the feedback hub and then it broke the feedback hub and then I moved on.
@dplattsf @joby You can find plenty of small, indie software shops that produce absolutely beautiful software, and listen to their users.
I wish they'd get more publicity in the current debate about #enshittification, and precisely because they “still” _do_ follow that customer-oriented business model that you outline, Darren.
Some companies that come to mind (for the Mac): Red Sweater, Flying Meat (seriously!
), Shiny Frog, Panic, Icon Factory, Omni Group, … -

@joby I wholeheartedly agree. And most devs probably do, too. Unfortunately they don't make that crap by choice. The problem here are the fuckers with money calling the shots.
@starsider @joby My thoughts as well.

@joby Those would most likely not be programmer decisions, more like management/marketing.

Use a browser plugin that hides the prompt, but now a bunch of stuff doesn't work because we all hold the functionally-necessary cookies hostage behind that stupid prompt. -
