Parrots learn to make video calls to chat with other parrots: study
Got a cookie banner with the only option being "Accept", that covered most of the screen on mobile. Figured I'd actually follow the link to the "Privacy Statement", to learn what sort of dark pattern is used and how I could actually consume the content without opting in to the tracking. Once I got there, however, I got an even bigger banner that also had accepting whatever they want me to as the only option, to the point where I can't even read their statement.<p>Commenting this because I've never actually had that happen before - accepting something being the only way to actually figure out what it is that I'm accepting. If it wasn't deliberate, it'd be quite the ridiculous UX failure. I actually recall some sites just telling me that users in EU aren't allowed to access their content, which somehow felt better because they were honest about it.<p>Might need to look for a plugin for mobile Firefox to automatically set the correct preferences.<p>Seems like the Web Archive copy has the same issue: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230422100711/https://news.northeastern.edu/2023/04/21/parrots-talking-video-calls/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20230422100711/https://news.nort...</a>
