       In the real world still, if a person says to you, "This is my partner", that basically means something like, "If you trust me, you can trust them" and/or "this person can speak on my behalf because they know me really well".But online "partner" apparently now just means "a collection of companies whose names I could not even recount without looking them up in a database or spreadsheet I have somewhere".

       I only share my economy with one person and my highest level of trust is with that same person. It's my wife. She is the one person in this world I would give the label "partner".Apparently I am holding myself back. I need to collect a few more thousand partners.

       Here is a fun thing. I work for Vivaldi Browser. Load any of our websites and you see no cookie banner and no mention of partners.https://vivaldi.com"But wait" you say, "didn't those terrible Europeans mandate the cookie banner!?" No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because we are not selling all your shit to every company under the sun.Also those sites with cookie banners are just doing malicious compliance. This was never about the EU requiring cookie banners!

       @ruari@velocipederider.com If you work for Vivaldi can you tell me when you're going actually care about your users and release the source code?

       Apparently the Fediverse actually did know because guess what, whenever I visit an instance I am also not asked to click through a cookie banner. Again, SO WEIRD!

       @SuperDicq @ruari It’s in the browser’s system files, where it’s installed (/opt/vivaldi, %ProgramFiles%\Vivaldi, etc.). Since it’s only HTML, JS and CSS, you already have the source code.

       @TritTriton@shelter.moe @ruari@velocipederider.com Please don't reply if you have no idea what you're even talking about.Browsers are not made using HTML, they are used to display HTML.

       @SuperDicq @ruari No idea, really?And what are these? Giant lollipops, perhaps? 🤨What you want is that. No more (except the Chromium’s own source code), no less.

       @TritTriton@shelter.moe @ruari@velocipederider.com That's just some frontend garbage. Vivaldi is not just Chromium + some html crap. A lot of actual code is still missing and not published under a free license.Stop being smug dickhead, you know exactly what I'm talking about.There's a reason why Vivaldi is listed as "Proprietary freeware" and not as "free software" on Wikipedia.

       @SuperDicq @TritTriton @ruari vivaldi is libre software to the best of my knowledge, only the frontend and themes are proprietary, and the person you're responding to is pointing out how easy it is to get a hold of even those.again, i'm not certain this is the case. i could be wrong.
