Naga<a href="https://wandering.shop/@Nentuaby" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Nentuaby</a> Yeah, on my rant list for a long time. It should be at *least* as simple *and* conspicuous to log in as to sign up.I mean, I get why it isn't *more* conspicuous, for marketing and making numbers go up, but it's hella obnoxious.<a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a>

NentuabyCripes, I hate how every website these days treats *logging in* as a weird, semi-hidden thing you can do (they GUESS) if you don't want to !!!!!SIGN UP!!!!!! for a brand new account.It's like a <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a>, but it's not even trying to manipulate you into doing something advantageous to them. It's just a... Dumb pattern.

Preston von Gabbleduck<a href="https://mastodon.social/@aaronk6" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aaronk6</a> I remain of the opinion that "Not Now" / "Remind em later" is a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a> in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a>, no matter where it is being used.

Paco Hope #resistI managed to get a video of this dark pattern. 12 seconds in you can finally see the faint "skip" button pop in. First I have to click the 'What's happening under the hood?" link. Then I have to leave the explanation on the screen for a while, then skip appears.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpatterns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpatterns</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ui</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ux</a>

Paco Hope #resistHere's a nice <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AmazonQDeveloper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmazonQDeveloper</a>. Installing it on my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debian</a> laptop and it pops up this GUI. Now, grey text on white background is a completely pedestrian dark pattern.The thing that is new for me, that isn't obvious from a single screenshot, is that the "skip" grey text doesn't appear at all for like 10-20 seconds. When you first see this dialog box, there's no 'skip' button. This might lead you to believe it isn't possible to skip. I tend to read things that pop up. And so while I was reading the skip button appeared.Thanks <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpatterns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpatterns</a>

Tom SheppardI'm trying to send someone a Windows self-extracting archive file. It's a little .exe program. I put it on Dropbox but when you click on the link you see the first image. If you click the Download button you see the second image. You have to ignore everything but the last line to just download the file.

Jonathan Kamens 86 47This really rubs me the wrong way. I'm donating to a charity through givebutter.com, and after I indicated that I wanted to make a one-time $180 donation, it popped up this prompt. This boils down to, "If you agree to donate twice as much money as you said you wanted to, it'll have twice the impact!" which is tautological, but presented in a way which IMO is a dark pattern. This is gross. <a href="https://federate.social/tags/GiveButter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GiveButter</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/charity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#charity</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a>

Phillip :usa_distress:New <a href="https://social.lol/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a> spotted! Is it any wonder why most people just click "I accept" and move on?Solution: give an easy "No, thanks" button on the initial popup. And if you *must* have a dedicated page, have two separate, clearly labeled buttons for agree and disagree. It's not that hard, do better.<a href="https://social.lol/tags/DarkpatternDictionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkpatternDictionary</a>
