If you struggle with timeliness or forget about things frequently I don't care what the reason is, you are out anyway. If I needed things done on time, it wouldn't matter to me if you were late frequently because you are careless or because you have an illness.
I don't like that you are suggesting that the visual look must change. Nothing is wrong with leaving things the way they are.
>They don't have discoverability.
What does this mean? Suggested posts and authors, which are nothing but thinly-veiled ads so you stay in the page? Good that they don't have those.
Good thing about cars and houses is that you can pay some amount officially and then pay more money under the table.
But... you'd rather charge every time you use it? And what if you run out of energy in the middle of a trip?
>I don't want to have to take my car in for tune-ups every year.
What makes you think that electric cars don't need tune-ups?
In the context of apps like Facebook or Instagram, which make money by tracking us to show us personalised ads, this is like saying that it is illegal for supermarkets to charge us for groceries, even if customers wanted to pay for them. What happens next? The supermarket closes, evidently. And this is a win for whom? Not the supermarket, and not the clients. Everybody loses.
I think that users have a right to know what happens to their data. But this is not a consent or information screen, this is the end of it. Europe tells us they do this for our own good, so we can own our data, but then they make it illegal for us to exchange our data for someone's service. Basically they think they know better than us what to do with our data: it is the opposite of freedom.
Hopefully this will teach the users to vote better. Oh wait, we can't elect EU officials directly.
That's weird-shouldn't he be doing everything that's possible to go to jail? Everybody would like to go to jail.
