Ah… terrorist, the magic word. That’s why you can’t have a SIM card which is not tied to your ID or passport in EU since 2015. Terrorists actions allowing an state entity throwing 4000t of explosive on civils in a weekend… yep yep…

more seriously (though I wasn’t totally kidding), your non-tech relatives and friends are all on whatsapp/insta/messenger, good luck to move them.

Gamers are here and coming in mass and don’t care about FOSS or security, so I won’t hold my breath.

Von Der Leyen is a swinger clubber

yep, like a magician driving your sight to his left hand…

just in time.

connect the dots.

That’s a lost fight, at least in my circle and in my circles’s circles. It was already difficult to move some of them to Signal and Telegram but even then, they kept using Whatsapp.

unfortunately, I do that often. Even when using meta search engine which sources to google, Google UX and results are simply better but sometime feeling is just not rationale

regarding duckduckgo, it is simply too long to type and people rarely configure their browser, especially on mobile.

so yeah, in a sense, Weinberg is right. At the very least, a choice should be provided on first run but you can’t force people to be curious.

You’re thinking of it in a legal sense, to make too many hoops to jump thru, which is pointless given users can’t really verify if it does anything.

so why doing this in first place ?! it should be an opt-in not an opt-out.

At the very least, paywall are more honest.

so I maintain: SHITTY COMPANY

of course, but it doesn’t act on this shitty pop-up. I don’t look for clearing cookies, but auto reject these cookies consent modals.

I use uBlock origin. I will rather give a try to Consent-O-matic mentioned earlier.

thanks

excellent, thank you. you are hero! :)

Good CaptainObvious. The site has been made on purpose to illustrate these behaviors, there’s no function/cookies/logic code behind. Switching browser doesn’t change anything as it is fake.

Jeez…
