A great EU-solution to protect us this was. No more evil cookies…
And who would care about the gazillions of scripts that still track you hard. And the fingerprint of your browser that makes you unique-ish. And dare do disallow just one tiny script and the whole site breaks and makes your browser cry.
I miss the internet shortly before and after google came up. Just information.

Which is not allowed, and they could be sued for tiny lil fees. IF someone would sue them.
Nothing more awesome than half-assed solution that actually do nothing and help noone but increase work for everyone involved. This is peak efficiency.

IDDQD?
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 5 days ago:
In defense of ubisoft: you can cheat all and everything and not pay a single cent. But yes it’s disgusting to milk the clueless.
And also yes: it’s a disability-feature that should always be in the options. Never understood why they never are. If someone wants to cheat my game to the max, why should I, as a Dev, care at all…
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 5 days ago:
First: who cares what people say?
Second: depends. If a game is too hard for my old ass, I cheat it easier. Like, a headstart with money or more life in an fps or whatever. It is MY play through, I have to enjoy it. And I’m gaming since the first ever pacman, I got spoiled. Just because a Dev thinks this is great, doesn’t mean I have to. So, if I can change that to MY preferences, yeah sure.
If it’s a second run of a game I might go nuts and testing everything 😁

Like that? :-)

Noooo you lil pessimist. It won’t get infinitely worse. If it’s at 100% bad it’ll stay there. So chin up 😁
- Comment on People in the UK Watching the The world using the internet 1 week ago:
I guess it never really was intended to protect kids but just to add another layer of surveillance. What could be more cool if every IP could be associated with an ID. Well, except those who are actual pedos, other criminals or just people who aren’t agnostic to privacy and data protection.
So, as usual, it’s just another attack on peter average.

“In what country is Russia?”
Would be equally expected 😁
- Comment on People in the UK Watching the The world using the internet 1 week ago:
That is the disgusting part. I mean yeah, pedos are legion and should be dealt with, but all those measures won’t gonna do it. Not even remotely.
I’m just so tired of being constantly fed bullshit and lies. We’re not all apathic or ignorant goddamit.
- Comment on People in the UK Watching the The world using the internet 1 week ago:
Oh man…do they also try to throw a “to protect the kids!”-sticker Onto that destructive bullshit?

As usual, one more cynically inclined might add.

That eye-rolling facepalm-inducer was amongst the worst stupid shitty posts ever. Great job 😁
- Comment on It's always about dat math 1 week ago:
Problem here with takeout is that it became unbearable bad, very small portions AND too expensive for what you want. Like at least 50 bucks for 2 people plus delivery and in the end you’re still a Lil hungry.
There’s no more fun in that.For the rest, yes. A handful socks of the same type. One above the cheapest, as you said. We have a saying “who buys cheap, buys twice”. For other people it probably looks like I only got one outfit 😁
- Comment on It's always about dat math 1 week ago:
I turn every buck around if that investment is worth it. Literally starting at one Euro. I would never e.g. get a coffee at Starbucks (or wherever) for 10 bucks as I could have 50 cups at home for that. I have two pair of shoes, two pants and just a handful shirts. I’ve been told to be a horrible cheapskate a thousand times.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 1 week ago:
Yes. We both hate cooking and also, at best, can heat up pasta.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 1 week ago:
I hate wasting money on useless bad stuff and take a looooong time to decide on investments starting at one buck. That defines a cheap ass, does it not? Investing in people though is never wasted money. At least to me. One less person that needs to endure a horrible boss. And we (and him) get nice food.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 1 week ago:
Cheapass Genx here. We’re admittedly too lazy to cook ourselves and prefer to spend that time on hobbies instead.
But food-delivery got so bad AND expensive here (Germany) that we switched to hiring a cook instead. He passionately loves his work, we love the food, everyone’s happy.

- Comment on You're Not Bad At Job Hunting—30% Of Job Postings Are Fake 2 weeks ago:
So glad I never really was and never will be in this hellhole. Every jobs markets related news I read for the last decades is bad. And the anecdotal stories I’ve heard from some people that do or have to work, are horrifying. Like 7 rounds of interviewing-process. Jeez.
My financially challengd parents (boomer) called some company, asked if they were hiring and got the job next day. And they still complained it was so hard finding a job 😁

- Comment on We've got it all worked out 2 weeks ago:
After re-evaluation, you’re right. We can’t. We could just define the outer walls of what we can know. No matter how hard we’d think out of the box, we can’t measure the box itself. We could create such a simulation. But being more limited beings than our creators, our creations could only be even more limited. Like an LLM. It could asses everything there is to know and calculate a theory around it. Yet it will be confined to OUR specifications and the data we let it consume.
- Comment on THIS is real. There is an app that allows you to text with Jesus 2 weeks ago:
“They” are supposed to do and be many things, which they usually do or are the opposite of. But covertly.
- Comment on We've got it all worked out 2 weeks ago:
While you’re totally right IMHO, I’d argue that the inner universe indeed can prove this. Just within the rules and boundaries of the inner universe. With our given measures and abilities. Which are or might be totally different from the outside.

Well, you kinda deserve it when you buy such a thing and also live in a country that allows customer-abuse to the fullest extent of the law. AKA “land of the free (corpos)”.
Ads on a fridge lol. I haven’t seen an ad in my home for 30yrs.
