It’s been a while since I last downloaded anaconda. But I remember when clicking on the download page, it would show the usual “choose your OS > download binary” (eg this archived version in 2019).
Recently I helped someone else set it up and it showed a form to put on email, with smaller gray text near the bottom of the form about skipping it.
Does this count as a dark pattern?
For those dark pattern email boxes I like entering things like admin@[website that’s serving a dark pattern mailbox] or marketing@website because 50% of the time it just gives me whatever without any trouble and the other 50% of the time I clear cookies and consider if I really need whatever they’re gating behind harvesting my email…
That is a great alternative to sfgdgsgshajdjajshags@gmail.com, I’ll also feel less bad about accidentally hitting a real email.
I never expected anyone to guess my address. Thanks a lot.
This is such a great idea lol
haha nice. I’ll try that next time
I like yaya@erewhon.com (sorry to the admin, it means nowhere, I assume it’s like /dev/null) Just like everyone should be using 01/01/1970 for a birthdate
Please stop doxxing me. JK but I use 01/01/1980 for some reason.
