  • Most of those cookie banners are not even needed, you only need them for tracking cookie, not login and session cookies. But of course everyone decided it is just easier to nag all the users with a big splash screen.

    A lot of them are not even doing it right, you are not allowed to hint the user that accept all is the “correct” choice by having it in a different color than the others. And being able to say no to all shouls be as easy as accepting all, often it isn’t.

    Basically, cookie banners are usually not needed and when they are they are most often incorrectlt designed (not by accident).


  • The problem is that it is almost always just one lf them. Let’s say that v0.20 is called “Fuck Spez” and v0.21 is called “YouKnowWhatFuckMuskToo”.

    Most people are going to refer to them by either the number or the name, almost never are both used. The biggest problem with names is that they are rarely sortable (google did it with android, for a bit but not anymore), so in the future it is hard to know which is which without resorting to looking at a list of releases.

    For example, in the future when we are on v0.30 someone might say “ah, but this has been an issue since “Fuck Spez”.” And then most likely you have to look it up to know what they are talking about. If we coulld force everyone to alwaya write “version “Fuck Spez” (v0.20)” then it would be great, but that never happens.

    I personally prefer just semantic versioning for this reason.


  • The original idea was to take back control of our money from greedy and corrupt banks and politicians. Very very very few people use it as that now though. Most just see it as a get rich quick scheme.

    As we are in the privacy sublemmy: All of the privacy issues have already been solved, those that keep saying that it is a log of everyone you ever paid kept forever have no idea what they are talking about. Just simple thing like that you should (almost) never use an address twice removes a lot of the privacy concerns. There are also other ways to obfuscate and stay anonymous.






  • In some countries all forms of description of underage sexual activities are illegal. So the sentance "She was having sex" is perfectly legal, but add an age marker and it is illegal. "She was having sex on the day before her 18th birthday".

    It is hard to legislate around as there will always ve ways to avoid it and get around it. But all this just sounds like the normal hype => fear => hype => fear, etc cycle that all new tech goes through.
