This really isn’t giving “edible” vibes to me

Shopify nags you to install the Shop app for tracking, but I’ve never ordered from a Shopify store that doesn’t also send out an email with the tracking number once the thing actually ships.

It’s definitely annoying, especially since it seems to pop up at a random time and it automatically focuses the email field at least for me, but I just can’t justify calling the hidden close button asshole design since it’s obviously a layout calculation error.

The icon is small, but it’s not near any other interaction targets, it’s where you expect a close button to be, and the contrast literally couldn’t be any higher.

I’m going to call that a bug. This is what it looks like for me. I can also tap the space around it to dismiss it.

That’s definitely not Samsung’s website though. Wonder how they’d feel about this

This is like the exact prompt LLMs were made to handle

“tell me more” is weird phrasing for that button, but it’s not saying “tell me more” in relation to the financing text above it. That’s what the “learn more” link is for. When I press “tell me more” it just adds it to my cart.

What about my fast?

According to Wikipedia, Burger King and Tim Hortons merged to make Restaurant Brands International, which is headquartered in Toronto, alongside Tim Hortons. Burger King kept their own HQ in the US.

If anything, that makes Burger King Canadian.

The Midwest is the friends we made along the way

I think you’re overthinking this, and extrapolating limited data way too far.

For one, of course historically rich countries are going to be hosting more technology. Tech is expensive, and less developed countries are called that because they’re less developed, which includes electricity grids, internet, economic power, and so on.

Another issue is that just because a Mastodon server is hosted in a particular country, doesn’t mean only people in or from that country can make an account there. Sure, there are some servers that want to keep their communities specific to their local area, but the vast majority have no restrictions. Anyone from anywhere can sign up.

If you’re trying to figure out how to make it so historically poor countries have the most servers instead, you’re going to have to figure out how to fund and manage infrastructure expansion.

It feels like you’re coming at this with the assumption of “every country has the resources to spin up hundreds of social media servers, but they’re just not interested”, which is kind of a weird conclusion to come to after recognizing the historical impact of colonialism and the privilege differences it’s led to.
