I have negative trust in Windows, in that I trust them to always fuck things up.

“Make no mistakes” gives big “do not hallucinate” energy.

Ah, yes the fabled Horny Text Markup Language.

In a literal sense. They’re putting a price on your privacy, and there are 938 buyers.

At least the hackers are having as bad a time as we are, then.

They would be willing to reopen it if people show up to develop it. The problem is that seemingly noone is invested enough to keep it going.

I’ve always taken issue with this “master” v. “main” argument.

People think it’s “master” as in “master/slave”, but forked branches are not “slaves”.

Instead, it’s “master” as in “master/proxy”. The forked branches are altered copies of an original. We have remastered movies, music and games, and I’ve never seen anyone complain about the word in this context. Why should version control systems be any different?

But of course, the adtech bros won’t give up on their precious tracking, so they’d rather try and shift the blame with an empty argument along the lines of “Hey, the bad EU law is forcing us to bother you.”

The law only concerns cookies that are not strictly necessary to provide a service.

So the cookie to remember that you denied all non-necessary cookies could be seen as necessary and thus not require your consent.

Sir, this is 2025, we don’t do nuanced opinions here anymore.

Bro has never eaten Toblerone.
