It’d be fun if the EU started policing any use of the phrase “We are required to show this dialog”.
They’re not. They choose to show that dialog so that they can try to apply commercial tracking cookies. Anything for website function is already covered by EU laws.
There have been a couple of changes to the rule since it came into effect. Originally, the pop up could effectively occlude the “Do Not Enable Cookies” button behind a maze of “Optional” settings. The end result was a big colorful “I Consent” button and a tiny little gear button with a thousand manual checkboxes to uncheck every time you visited the site.
The regulations were updated since. Now these annoying pop-ups at least tend to have a clearly defined “Yes, I Consent” / “No, I Do Not” at equal scale and opposite color, allowing you to bypass it without going into the weeds on a configuration screen.
I have read his paper on the subject (Global Ramifications of Kung-Fu and its relation to emotions of fear and anxiety, published in the Journal of Funky Chinatown Studies October, 1974 issue, pp. 82) and, based on his dataset, he concludes that the answer is “a little bit.”
The bunnies that live outside behind the neighbors house probably have to put up with another news show repeating the latest stupidity that came out of Trump’s pie hole. Poor animals, that’s worse than rabies.
But they don’t even get to vote!
Us, sure, we cast a vote, but where does it go?! They don’t go counting all the votes and give the win to the person who gets the most. Instead each state picks a number of representatives and they they vote for the president. So why the fuck do we get bothered day and night about who should win? Who the fuck cares? Even a lava lamp would choose Kamela over Trumpfus. But we don’t get to choose so don’t come asking us and telling us all about how Trump’s dick is so tiny, you would need 1000 piled up to see them on an electron microscope. Why not instead tell us all about the actual people we vote for and not even bring up the president? Our opinion doesn’t matter. If it did we would have free healthcare and education. We don’t ask for free sofas or free transportation. We just want a safety net so we don’t end up homeless under a bridge. Instead we get a system where we’re always close to having to be homeless under a bridge if we don’t get educated or our health checks. It’s a simple matter, how much do you owe… nothing. Want to tell us all about Trump’s dick? Ok then make our vote real. Want some electoral college to vote? Are they people living in the US? Ok that get one vote just like the rest of us. And fuck, make an app for voting. I’m totally fine if I have to show up to a Library to be given a 2 factor authentication token seed or whatever is needed. What the fuck is this paper shit, are we in the 1940’s still digging caves?
Fucking hell, evangelical freaks fear God too?? Is their entire day just fear 24/7? Afraid of gays, afraid of trans, afraid of communism?! afraid of socialism, afraid of Muslims…
I just don’t understand how these people are so upset at every single little thing and it’s not just upset about it, they think that every thing they don’t like is a personal affront to them. Like it’s gotta be exhausting to constantly be that upset.
Yes. They also believe that you’re supposed to teach your children to fear you. I’m convinced they believe that fear is the heart of love. They won’t admit that they think fear is a virtue but they do. Because they don’t understand that fear is a tool. You should have fears, they help you make wise decisions, but they need to be based in reality and regularly reexamined. They have little security and comfort and what they do have is couched in fear or conflict.
Like, it’s such a thing in their lives that if I could have my evil leftist re-education camps, they’d just be teaching cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies.
John Ramirez is one of those miracles with a transformed life through the finished work of the cross. He recounts his former life of being trained as a high-ranking devil worshipper warlock for 25 years of his life. He lived in the dark side in the highest realms of the demonic, specifically Santeria, Spiritualism and Palo Mayombe. In 1999, John passed away in his apartment in the Bronx, went to hell and met the devil and the cross of Jesus Christ. He was put back in his body the same night and became a born-again believer. He overcame the Kingdom of Darkness and has spent the latter part of his life being a fierce warrior for Jesus, uncompromised, preaching the gospel to the nations and setting the captives free.
Anybody want the explain to him that if you’re serious about spiritualism you either don’t call it that or call it American spiritualism. If someone tells me they’re a spiritualist I assume they mean they’re generally agnostic but incorporate a few aspects of spirituality in their world view, not that they’re out there performing seances
In 1999, John passed away in his apartment in the Bronx, went to hell and met the devil and the cross of Jesus Christ.
Is… is the cross a sentient being that can speak? I’m a little behind with my Christian Mythology, but why would the cross be in hell along with the devil? Wouldn’t that imply that Jesus went to hell along with it? Am I missing the metaphor?
Things like this make me wonder how many mental illness issues are swept under the rug because they tend to take the form of some mainstream religious belief and not correctly identified as a psychotic episode because it’s not polite to challenge somebody’s faith even if what they believe is patently ridiculous.
It’s really interesting, I hadn’t tried this in a long long time. Some sites are simply broken, others drag themselves along half broken, but lemmy seems to be doing alright weheee
Anyway, yeah, it pretty much breaks every website the first time you visit. Well, every domain at least. But once you figure out which scripts to allow to get it functioning, you can save individual settings for each site/domain that load automatically every time you visit afterwards.
A number of the more tech savvy online newspapers have begun enforcing client-side scripts as a means of preventing people from reading articles without a subscription.
