Steam appears to be no stranger to recently.

@CenturyAvocado If you’re running Steam via snap there are some known issues that Valve is a bit upset with Canonical about. If that’s the case I would suggest either a package install or the AppImage/Flatpak and see if you have the same problem.

@xirrin I'm using whatever the default download on Steampowered was, and on pop os.

Going through some old files, I need to share these excellent error message screenshots I've collected. Windows XP was so bad in so many ways that I kind of miss it sometimes.

How do you mess up a drop down menu this thoroughly?

Credit to http://grove.co/ for being "creative" in their new attempts to increase conversion. When you land on that e-commerce site, you start with 13 products in your cart.
😂 Not sure if bug, or really optimistic marketing.

@mastomuckle some are, but there's also $30 of random products in the cart that get those to show as free.
So customers do actually have to remove the products from the cart if they don't want to be paying for extra stuff.
And unless the customer is spending >$25, they are blocked from going to checkout, unless they remove the "free" stuff.
Lot of dark patterns here.

@chris_hayes Oh, that’s gross.

Temu makes it impossible to unsubscribe from their email newsletter with a fake "check your network connection" message..:

More grim . Microsoft not happy with a small pop up when you go to download chrome...

They now inject their own iframe at the top of the download page! ( https://edge.microsoft.com/intercept/v1/view?locale=en-GB%2Cen%2Cen-US&theme=light&scbtn=true&expfeats= )

Surely this is begging for regulation?
