@nether it’s hilarious how all these people trying to comply with the GDPR don’t realise that forced consent isn’t legally validyou can’t make usage of the site dependent on “I Agree”, that’s considered forced consent and void, meaning no legal basis for said usage of cookies

@kaniini EVs suck because batteries suck, and that’s not going to changei don’t know how EV companies manage to convince people that their overpriced spyware cars with absurdly piddly range, long-ass recharge times and $$$ batteries that wear out are somehow better than petrolthen again, this somehow got made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y48wCuC3KcA… sucker born every minute, I guess

@wowaname @Eidolon0 @celluloid @yolo @xeno @igeljaeger antifa are fascists, yes; they seem like a reaction formationtldr; if you’re that obsessed with seeking out and punching people you consider “fascists”, you’re probably compensating for something within you

@DJWalnut @Elizafox this is the dumbest possible way someone could be convinced to vaccinate. maybe it will actually work on antivaxers

@wowaname @11backslashes I switched from IE to Firefox around when that was the popular trend and have used it since (now on Linux). I’ve never actually used Chromium except briefly for testing. I must be a pretty small minority

@wowaname @11backslashes I mean Mozilla doesn’t get money out of thin air. They need money from Google to continue. If they can use that money to try and stop Google’s hegemony over the web, I think that’s amusing ;)

@11backslashes @wowaname (this doesn’t mean that Mozilla doesn’t perpetually make bad decisions. they do. people have been facepalming at Mozilla since at least, like, 2003 (!))

@11backslashes @wowaname anyway, two pointsadblocking is now essential to use the web. even if you don’t “mind” adverts, they’re not just adverts; they’re javascript programs. ad networks are the leading delivery vehicle for malicious javascript, plus tracking.chromium will never block adverts properly because google has a vested interest in ensuring this isn’t the case. there have been interesting cases of them ‘forgetting’ to make the APIs used by adblocking extensions work properly. for example, when they added QUIC support, they made HTTP requests sent over QUIC bypass the “filter outgoing HTTP requests” WebExtensions API which adblockers use. this is despite the fact that they’re still https:// requests, just over a different wire protocol, so this makes no sense. of course, who is it that supports QUIC on their server side? google.if you want an idea of just how extensively chromium has to be modified just to remove its links to google… https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

@kaniini is this shared hosting as in actual shared hosting, or some openvz-like travesty
