- harelYou probably saved me a future grand++. Thanks
- This little heart warmer taught more more about game/binary hacking than more specific articles on the subject.
- But unfortunately they won't. This will not happen. They ultimately shift to fingerprinting our browsers instead of using Cookies but they will keep on tracking...
- Amen to that, and to Age verification mentioned by @vmaurin. I get cookie rage sometimes from those banners. Most definitely I suffer from consent fatigue.
- I use this on Gnome for a long time now, and one (perhaps) unintended feature, is that if I'm watching a silly "reel" like video which does not have any controls other than play/pause, I can actually control it and change the position via the phone.

- In the late 90s there was a website called fuckedcompany which was a place where people could spill the beans about startups (mainly in silicon valley). It was anonymous and a pretty good view into the real state of tech. Now there is twitter/x but it's not as focused on this niche.

- This was posted a while back. I thought it was beautiful:
- Yes I know. It's similar by name, not by implementation details.
We already have a right to work system. A different one won't change the state of illegal migration just like the current one does not affect it.
- I'm a signatory of said petition. Scary times.
- Interesting. It's got a number of VC hallmarks there nonetheless.
- Meanwhile in the UK a petition to stop the government doing the same has passed 2 million signatures.
On a technical level, I wonder if they will use verified credentials to drive this.

- I don't want those banners. I don't want extensions or artificial solutions to a manufactured problem. I want to set up my preference in my browser, once, and have it respected by all sites i visit. I'm not sure why my comment was downvoted for stating a personal preference. For me, those banners do the opposite of what they were meant to.
- Actually yes the banners bring up cookie rage. When in cookie rage I'll click anything to make that banner go away. And then repeat the next visit. The banners make me not care. Give me a global in browser setting for that.

- I've been using Ubuntu exclusively since around 2005 when they sent you CD-ROMs (remember those?). I've been trying to switch to Arch for about 5 years now. Not because Ubuntu was broken, but because I wanted something new. I sometimes install it on an old laptop, marvel at the perceived speed increase of that old(er) machine, tell myself I'll switch tomorrow when I can find a spare day for it, and 5 years later it still didn't happen. My older laptop now runs Omarchy. And it's great and all, but I still don't think it will happen. My next laptop, for sure, will switch to Arch. Possibly. Maybe.
