You should be pissed off! It's software paternalism, utilizing new speak, removing your vocabulary and agency.
Every time you're given a dark pattern dialogue where it says " would you like this thing that you don't like? Yes absolutely, later " the developers don't respect you, they're trying to say you don't know what you want, they're using propaganda on you..
It's like the classic police interrogation question " is that when you stopped beating your wife?" Yes and no are both traps. So some edgy developer is trying to trap you with oh but you consented (can send it) to seeing this later. When it's really user hostile dark patterns using forced language to remove your agency as a human being. It's fucking scummy
This is why I love open source software, not only is it highly unlikely for you to see a dark pattern, if you do you can fix it!
Consented?
Oh my god! The first organic boneappletea I've seen on lemmy
Guilty as charged! I use voice to text typing on my cell phone. Google does love its bone apple tees
I think you should start the community ASAP.
