Particularly when considering that each of their cars does have a human backup driver who should be taking over to avoid crashes. How much worse would the cars be unsupervised?
We really need more granular notification settings already. I want to to know when my Lyft is arriving. I want to know when my food's been delivered. I don't want to know that I can get 10% off something for the next hour.
Apparently in the new beta the Wallet app actually does let you disable promotional notifications, so that's a start. Now do every other app.
They tried to fix this in Android, having apps create separate channels that users can enable and disable at will. Then no app makers used them because there's no real incentive to do so. Sigh.
Is that true? I think all the apps that I had to partially enable notifications I managed to do so. To the point that I started to wonder if Google is requiring it as part of the app review process
They are used but they definitely don't enforce strict separation (which of course doesn't scale, but they could at least penalize apps that get reported by users for violating it). In most apps there is one notification channel that has both the important stuff you want and some marketing garbage.
Long time Android user, and it works great. Not sure why your experience is so different, but I'm very happy with the notification channels experience.
And that'll get your dev account terminated. Enforcing correct use of user-empowering platform features is one of the handful of good arguments for centralized app distribution.
Amen. Every app already has my email and I'm happy to be "marketed to" there so long as I can one-click unsubscribe from them.
I stopped using the Instacart app as it just keeps piling on more and more "offer overlays" that I have to click-away. At least with the web, I can remove them with preemptive HTML parsing and just "view the essentials" to get the job done.
Poster specifically mentioned CS3, which was a perpetual license. Adobe is not incentivized to keep a version of their software someone purchased once seventeen years ago working when they would much rather sell a monthly subscription.
Toyota Baltic Aktsiaselts is an EU company and it has a fake ‘beneficial owner’. But clearly some entity, or series of entities, must actually own it.
So it is an example of the information in at least one section being completely unreliable, with not even an attempt of an ‘owned by non-eu parent company’ disclaimer explaining why it’s fine to list a random senior manager as something that he’s clearly not…
