The following:

If companies are indulging in abusive use of cookies (or index DB, local storage, plugins or other things) then ban those abusive use of cookies and fine companies that transgress until they stop. The EU essentially caves to industry pressure and put the burden on the individual visitor, which just allowed the companies to make it very, very annoying to opt out. Have you noticed how 'allow all' is always a single click, but allow none isn't, if the option exists at all? Regardless, those settings? Guess where they're stored: Cookies. Which means that those of us who were already preventing local storage of data are now having to deal with those lovely "choices" over, and over and over. Every visit to youtube, every newspaper article we try to read.

This was not an improvement in my quality of life. And I doubt the practical efficacy to boot. Can't track user behavior and Internet usage patterns by way of cookies anymore? Fingerprinting to the rescue.

I'd say 'a set of individuals'. The distinction is admittedly subtle.

Personally, I much prefer individuals.

Some individuals, at least.

He should report all those pasty motherfuckers to ICE.

Hey EU? Do you remember when you forced every website to ask for permission to store cookies and made the entire web immeasurably worse to use without in any way having a positive impact on people's right to some fucking privacy?

Yeah.

Regardless of topping or treatment, I prefer using a skillet for even heat distribution.

You know what they say: If it looks stupid but works, it's not stupid. Or as I say: No, if it looks stupid and works, you got fucking lucky.

Soon my life-long dream of using a shaver the size of my entire face will become reality. Eyebrows? Nose? Who needs them anyway?

What a swell idea, Vance! I've been trying to figure out how to persuade my compatriots why visiting the US aren't worth the risks, and it really helps when the Vice President makes my case for me. Cheers, buddy!

If you have to supply your users with AI support to figure out how to configure your OS, you might be doing something wrong.
