I am 😤 infuriated 😤 that Google has made this opt *out*

m.t now returns a “Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()” header on all HTTP responses. This opts the site out of Google Chrome’s new Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) tracking; this change will also be included in future versions of the Mastodon source code: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/16036

You can read more about how to opt the sites that you manage out of this new surveillance technology here: https://paramdeo.com/blog/opting-your-website-out-of-googles-floc-network

good morning to my brooding teenager [cw cat ec]

This is small peas in the grand scheme, but it’s odd. Strava probably rigorously A/B test all the upsell interstitials and CTAs and whatnot, but if they’re not paying attention to the user journey *after* the user gives them money, I dunno. What is even the point.

Also when I hit the “back” button to go to the Home screen, they put up a modal CTA for the in-app purchase we’d *just* made. Like lol, I already bought it you muppets. Amateur hour.

For my birthday, my partner bought me a subscription to Strava. Their in-app purchase confirmation dialogue is the saddest I’ve seen – we just forked over considerable money and all they have to say is “you’re all set”

No thank you, no confetti animation, nothing. What a wasted opportunity.

Happy day! I finally used the last of those too-small v60 filters!
