@janneke@todon.nlI really don't get the whole idea of the cookie popups on websites.
I mean, everyone always chooses for: essential cookies only? I do, anyway.
Some sites even say: "Don't you want a functional site?", to which I always silently reply: "Knowing that everyone disables all optional cookies anyway, don't you want (to build) to have a functional site?"
I don't care all that much if your site is broken, it's your site, your choice.
@PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeRemember those gold Trump Mobile phones that the Trump family started selling in June 2025 but never delivered? After updating the terms on the Trump mobile site to say "no guarantee of release, delivery, or timing", Trump Mobile is claiming "the phones are in the mail." That claim might have something to do with how angry his supporters were when they saw the terms had changed.
