They may have a specific corpo-speak word for it that they have codified into law with liberal applications of money… but in effect it is still advertising.
Arguing the etymology is like a child abuser arguing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia. At the end of the day, they’re still a child abuser, no matter how they define it.
Promotions are a form of advertising. Just because they have the excuse that it’s advertising on their own service doesn’t make it not advertising.
Certainly puts Two Steves to shame.
I didn’t know Ray Charles had sonar…
If there’s only ever one avenue of attack, sure. Your example posits that encryption is the only security layer that exists, which is laughable. Most security breaches happen at the personnel level, not the technical one.
A site does not “become facebook” just because it’s not 100% decentralized from every other possible service. Countless other factors go into it. Not the least of which is the nature of the people running it. If you run a service, and make it nigh impossible for a general public (your main market) to use because you fear it will become compromised, you are basically saying that you will compromise it otherwise, and probably shouldn’t be running that service.
But only accepting one possible alternative is an extreme. You can build in safeguards… but if they’re too rigorous you will drive away potential users. Much like with freedom and security, you need to middle ground between accessibility and defensibility.
If only there were some kind of middle ground… sadly only extremes exist 😔
That’s part of the service the invisible person line gives.
They didn’t request it, one can only assume they are a naughty little gremlin who only deserves floor almonds.
Could always go with Audrey 2
It is context dependent. I have screwed up, please be nice to me versus you have screwed up so be nice to me.
Oh, sorry, I’ll leave you to your specious argument.
They’re learned muscle memory.
Is this a tiny hands problem I’m too normal to have?
Is the little descriptive icon there the whole time? Is it there only when you try to use the gesture? It might be malicious if there was no warning at all and it just does it… but to me it seems like they’re just trying to apply intuitive design practices in their mobile site design.
Not everything is an attack, even if one feels attacked.
“Progress”
Whoa, hey, is this a gillette commercial?
Yes… it’s the AGI that will cause the dystopia…
You’re trying to excuse apologist language. Telling me to define the world by their terms, not how the world is. If you want to accept that their way is the right way, that’s on you. But when you tell others, that’s just spreading their propaganda.
