When I click "reject all non-essential cookies", that does not mean "ask me again next time." The cookie that tells you to piss off and not track me *is* essential, and if you're deliberately not saving that part to try and trick me into clicking "accept" next time, you're at minimum an asshole, and at worst violating the GDPR.

Liebe Politik: verarschen kann ich mich selber, dazu brauch ich euch nicht. Und dafür hab ich euch auch nicht gewählt.
Und ja, ihr Wählys: ihr seid „mitgemeint“.

Youtubers that hold their iPhone wired headset microphone or stupidly expensive DJI *wireless* microphone IN THEIR FINGERS while recording are frickin' morons.

I am so, so tired of having to vet every one of my choices around a technology. Which platform? Which settings? What's a privacy risk? What has downstream negative social consequences? How do I compensate for the functionality I lose when I make a conscious choice to limit or refuse?

Submitting to an academic conference and once more am completely amazed that people who call themselves academic technologists use LaTeX to make PDFs to communicate their research. This is by far the worst widely-adopted software I've ever used, and I really hope I don't ever use it again. Awful nonsense, which I think is only still in use for the purposes of gatekeeping other disciplines away from interacting with computer science.
