"All because the EU has no mechanism for self-correcting its legislative failures, even with years of evidence in the bag. The bureaucratic maze almost guarantees that all the noble intentions eventually find a dead end in which to get stuck" 💯
They made the web unusable
Whenever someone complains, even rightfully, they should not squander the opportunity to propose solutions. What solutions does DHH propose?
to a cookie banner? - no cookie banner!
but may I ask for what are actually you looking for a solution?
For normies to have default decent privacy
how does a cookie banner solve that?
most people that I see just click annoyed the first button that I see, and even if they would not what privacy would this really give them?
It doesn’t. That’s not what I’m saying.
I don't. I take whatever time I need to meticulously and systematically deactivate all cookies, and all "Legitimate Interest" cookies. If anything, I very often cease to use a website if I can't do it (especially frequent with "Legitimate Interest", which many sites do not make available).
europe needs war
(i hope i can run away before it starts)
The banners work as intended: a constant reminder of the omnipresent state.
