Cadbury was considered quality chocolate in NZ, regularly topped the most trusted brands in NZ lists. Then they tried to replace cocoa solids with palm oil (perhaps 20 years ago), and what feels like overnight they were outed and now are hardly ever mentioned. A local brand took over the quality chocolate spot, and eventually Carbury had to shut the NZ factory.
I like to think people learn about it when studying marketing / branding degrees.
I’m from a colony and pudding would normally be dessert unless further specified. I’m curious what specifically it was, was it anything listed in the top-ish section here?
Savoury puddings include Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding and steak and kidney pudding. Sweet puddings include bread pudding, sticky toffee pudding, tapioca pudding, and rice pudding. Unless qualified, however, pudding usually means dessert and in the United Kingdom, pudding is used as a synonym for dessert.
There is already plenty of empirical evidence to support the claims of the harms of social media, but in spite of this, change is glacial.
I think at one point you could make the same argument about medicines. The problem is that politicians are appointed with a popularity contest.
I don’t remember all the arguments of the article, but when you think about it, the harms of social media are medical. It’s possible that we could expand the scope of the current medicine approval boards to include algorithms, with their job not being to understand the algorithm but to understand the research on mental health.
I don’t have all the answers, but I do think it’s an idea worth exploring.
I was meeting with my team the other day, and the conversation turned to our mortgages. My boss: ah yes, the reason we are all here.
In my view social media is probably not the problem, but the algorithms they use that are designed to be addictive and manipulative.
I saw an article once arguing that the algorithms should be regulated in a similar way to medicine. Give some base ingredients they can use freely (e.g. sort by newest first), then require any others to run studies to prove they are not harmful.
There would be an expert board that approves or declines the new algorithm in the same way medicines are approved today (the important bit being that they are experts, not politicians making the decision).
Lemmy is a different kind of platform. Twitter wasn’t for me, but I never clicked with Mastodon either. Some people like the microblog format but I just never got it, or maybe I never worked out how to use it probably.
90s me would have killed for speeds like that!
Accessing every password would require a breach of the browser or the extension, right? Because the extension will only fill passwordds with a matching URL, so with the browser must be compromised to provide the wrong URL, or the extension compromised to accept a wrong URL? I am not sure how separating the extension and the manager helps with this?
Interestingly, auto-filling can also be more secure than just typing in your credentials, because the extensions will only fill if the site URL matches, where as people can be tricked into thinking they are on a different site.
Does this extend to also not using browser extensions for password managers?
IMO the header should stay at the top as part of the page. I know where it is, I’ll scroll up to it if I need to.
Like you, I find a header appearing and hiding quite difficult in specific circumstances.
I’m not sure they need much fuel anymore, their current trajectory gets them around the moon and back towards earth using just the moon’s gravity.
