If you're not familiar this legislation, here's an article that will give you an overview:

“Brussels is poised to become the big tech police after passing the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act in July. The two landmark pieces of legislation have ambitious goals and steep penalties meant to loosen major tech companies’ grip on the digital market and force platforms to better handle illegal and harmful content.”

I'm looking for an open source marketing automation tool, i.e. something that allows you to create segments of your users and send triggered transactional emails (like braze, salesforce marketing cloud, intercom, etc). Any recommendations, folks?

A few people on HN have mentioned that TVs these days can be used as credible monitors, and can be cheaper/bigger/etc. Has anyone got any advice on this matter - specific models, gotchas watch out for, etc?

Back in 2010, the Hacker News community helped kick off the ‘dark patterns’ initiative [1]. You guys were awesome, darkpatterns.org [2] benefited hugely from your input.

If you’re not aware, the purpose of darkpatterns.org is to make people aware of the types of manipulative practice that are out there, and to name and shame the sites that use them. Scams don’t work when the victim knows what’s going on. Also, as a professional it’s just interesting to know what other people are up to, and where we should draw the line.

So, I’m intending on investing some more time on darkpatterns.org over the next few months and I could really use some help from HN.

My question to you is - what are most unethical UIs & growth hacking practices in use today? Please don’t be shy, name and shame.
