It took me much longer than I’d like to admit to understand what the title meant. “But 1985 is 0 years from 1985???”

I am not a clever person.

The amount of victim blaming in these comments is pretty weird. “Well duh nobody should answer that poll, everybody knows it’s just a scam to get you signed up for spam”.

Way to miss the point, folks.

I just nod and fake-smile a lot more.

I’m not cishet, and after I got told by a “moderate conservative” (according to his own definition and his voting preferences, anyhow) acquaintance that he thinks the world would be a better place if gender minorities didn’t exist, and that we’re all pretending anyhow, I realized that my life is going to be better without any sort of contact with his kind. Too many of them are either quietly or overtly literally dreaming of genocide

Yeah, or at least about 20% of the people I used to be in contact with before I realized I’m much better off jettisoning them before I (or they…) do something irreparable

Harrelson said he “doesn’t believe in the germ theory"

Fucking what. We’re doomed, and we deserve it.

My Wifi AP is a Huawei EchoLife piece of shit that came with the apartment and I’ve been too lazy to get a better one because it sort of works (I have to reboot it at least once a day if I want my bandwidth to be over ~1MiB/s…), and I’m fairly sure it’s easily hackable and that there’s a nontrivial chance that it’s been owned already. This article reminded me that I’ll probably want to get to buying a better one sooner rather than later, but I honestly don’t even know which ones are good nowadays. I’d love something that runs an open firmware like OpenWRT or Tomato or whatever

Here, you droppen an arm: \

With most markdown renderers you need to use ¯\\\_ (ツ)_/¯, first to escape the \ and then to escape the _ so it doesn’t think you want italics with _ (ツ)_, but looks like Lemmy’s is fine with ¯\\_ (ツ)\_/¯, go figure ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

My usual gag is “what doesn’t kill you maims you for life”

Well that or this is just a joke, hard to say with the chans.

It’s Elsevier, so this probably isn’t even the lowest quality article they’ve published

Hey just because god isn’t watching doesn’t mean touching buttholes is necessarily free of consequences

Sure! This page has some general info: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/

The directive itself is kind of involved because it goes pretty deep into what its aim is and eg. what sort of information can be considers an identifier, and it’s actually quite well argued and worth a read if that sort of thing is your, er, thing: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A32002L0058 (you need to scoll aaalll the way down to be able to show the body text). I had to deal with this stuff professionally when I was a CTO for a company with some stricter than average privacy requirements due to the field, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much sense ePrivacy and GDPR actually make

At least here in the EU the ePrivacy directive and to a lesser extent the GDPR generally require that cookies have a limited lifetime depending on their function, to eg. prevent companies just attaching a stable identifier to every random passerby essentially forever. @Sunny@slrpnk.net, if you’re feeling particularly mildly infuriated you could email the German Data Protection Authority, there’s a good chance the cookie could attract the Eye of Sauron
