I’m a noob… But hear me out. Does anyone make a browser extension that fools the site into thinking you’ve accepted the cookie(s) when you really haven’t?
Huh. Must be leftover from the early days of the mobile Internet. Kinda like Reddit’s old mobile site (which now just redirects to Reddit’s current site).
Thanks! It was hard work, 8hrs a day doesn’t sound unmanageable until you remember you’re an adult who needs to do other things too! But at least I didn’t have to cheat and extend it into Monday this time which is my usual strat 😅
CNN might be the only site I’ve seen that actually checks if you have made a cookie choice then. The whole cookie acceptance thing is dumb, but they are following the law.
Thankfully there is a plan that EU will make changes fo current policy so those popups might go away.
I haven’t really looked into it too much, but… Aren’t they actually right in this case?
Sure, reading “we can’t protect your privacy because you’re using privacy-centric extension…” feels like bullshit, but from how I understand it based on the screenshot, the issue is that you have blocked the cookie permissions pop-up, whose main reason is to give you an option to opt-out of any tracking cookies, thus protecting your privacy. While also being required by law.
However, this depends on how exactly is the law formulated. How does it deals with a case where you don’t accept, nor decline any cookies, and just ignore it? Are they not allowed to save any cookie until you accept it and specify what exactly can they save? Or should they not let you use the site until you accept it?
I vaguely remember that it used to be enough to just have a OK-able warning that this site is using cookies, but then it changed to include a choice to opt-out. Which could indicate that unless you opt-out, which they are required to give you a chance to, they can use whatever tracking cookies they want. And if that is the case, this message is actually correct.
In the EU they must assume you have opted out until you explicitly opt in. blocking the popuip by law, must be treated as opting out. or to be more specific, its aconsent thing. they must assume they do not have consent until you explicitly give it.if this popup is in the EU, its a violation to my knowledge as it is forcing the user to change theirbrowsers settings or opt into something not necessary.
Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave’s users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.
This low percentage actually makes these users more vulnerable to fingerprinting despite them using the more aggressive blocker, because they constitute a discernible subset of users standing out from the rest.
Super cute and living the progress. I try to do about 300+ stitches a day myself. A 24 hour weekend witch fest sounds fun and also full of hand breaks.
Thanks! 300 daily is impressive, and so far out of my reach. Just have too many other craft projects on the go, which I suppose you could argue is my own fault.
Just thought to actually check how many stitches I did during this and it’s 2345, which yes that’s less than 100 an hour, but I had to do some frogging and also was very tired by the end lol.
Definitely a lot of fun though, maybe you should get the April edition in your calendar 😉
I wanna see something like this for other accents. The gimmick in this sentence doesn’t work at all in my accent because they all use different vowels (apart from earned and urn). What’s the Australian equivalent to this? RP? Scottish? I reckon the Kiwi version would be pretty funny.
Car keys/khakis actually works for most English (as in the region of the UK, not as in the language), Australian, South African, and Kiwi accents, I think. It doesn’t sound like carrie though.
