I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪
The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.
No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.
My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
Yours shouldn't either.
So you think that Big Tech monitoring your every move isn’t a problem?
But what if you show up at the hotel at 9pm and the hotelier can ask a credit bureau how much you can afford to pay for the room? What if they can find out that you’re in chemotherapy, so you don’t have the stamina to shop around for a cheaper room? What if they can tell that you have a 5AM flight and need to get to bed right now? What if they charge you more because they can see that your kids are exhausted and cranky and the hotel infers that you’ll pay more to get the kids tucked into bed? What if they charge you more because there’s a wildfire and there are plenty of other people who want the room?
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
#Google just launched a new era of tracking. Digital #fingerprinting.
❌ No consent
❌ No escape
Here’s why this is a #privacy nightmare much worse than #cookies: 👇

As Google gives you the choice to opt out of cookie tracking, it silently starts collecting your online habits with fingerprinting.Tuta
What the actual fuck The Verge?! You have over 500 partners who need access to my "essential" cookies?
I mean, thanks for showing me the numbers on how insane data sharing is, but really? And those are the ones I can't opt out of?
Do they count like every employee as a partner, or is my data really being shared with hundreds of other businesses?

When it comes to most secure browsers Firefox is the best alternative to Chrome - and, no, incognito mode doesn't cut it.Tutanota
Na obranu blokování reklamy
Poté, co se Youtube pustil do ostrého boje s blokátory reklamy, rozhořela se opět diskuse o tom, zda je v pořádku reklamy blokovat. Dlouho jsem byl na straně odmítačů blokování reklamy. Během svého života jsem napsal řadu článků pro různé časopisy a servery a vím, že obsah se zadarmo neudělá. Nicméně odvětví internetové reklamy zmorfovalo […]

🤣🤣🤣 @cnnbrk Here’s some breaking news, CNN Breaking News. Not everyone is running Brave. I don’t. Many do run privacy controls. How ironic that our privacy controls are blocking your “privacy protections,” and you insist we should TRUST YOU. Is that like trusting Meta to protect users’ phone numbers by passing their chats through Meta servers…?
So hilarious. Thank you for self-deselecting from my trusted news sources. 🤣🤣🤣

@blender yeah, but I think making your tech more appealing and approachable to "#TechIlliterates" and "#Normies" should have a higher priority than following a trend and fad [aka. #VR]...
Regardless of that I do think that #JS and #Tracking / #Cookies are bad #ghettohacks of a technology and lazy #WebApps should've never seen mass adoption, but there's far worse staff like #MicrosoftOffice and espechally #Windows.
I just can't stand the latter...
