 "All because the EU has no mechanism for self-correcting its legislative failures, even with years of evidence in the bag. The bureaucratic maze almost guarantees that all the noble intentions eventually find a dead end in which to get stuck" 💯

 They made the web unusable 
 Whenever someone complains, even rightfully, they should not squander the opportunity to propose solutions. What solutions does DHH propose? 
 to a cookie banner? - no cookie banner! 

but may I ask for what are actually you looking for a solution?  
 For normies to have default decent privacy 
 how does a cookie banner solve that? 

most people that I see just click annoyed the first button that I see, and even if they would not what privacy would this really give them?  
 It doesn’t. That’s not what I’m saying. 
 I don't. I take whatever time I need to meticulously and systematically deactivate all cookies, and all "Legitimate Interest" cookies. If anything, I very often cease to use a website if I can't do it (especially frequent with "Legitimate Interest", which many sites do not make available). 
 europe needs war

(i hope i can run away before it starts) 
 The banners work as intended: a constant reminder of the omnipresent state. 
 What annoys me is when the site won't function unless i click on the damn cookie banner and select my preference, like my preference is leave me alone ffs
