Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

even better: opt-in, over opt-out

none of these fuckers want to go for that, because it'd make their darling shitpile look oh so bad

but it's also a stark thing: ~20y ago tech actually asked first, and (mostly) fucked off if you told it to

the way a lot of tech companies approach consent (and how users have been primed following that) right now is some mad toxic fucked up bullshit
