Look, Jeff Atwood, it is difficult to take you seriously when you write authoritatively on a subject you clearly don’t understand.
GDPR doesn’t mandate cookie notices.
Cookie notices are *malicious compliance* by the surveillance-driven adtech industry.
If you’re not tracking people, you do not need a cookie notice, period.
If you’re only using first-party cookies for functional reasons, you do not need a cookie notice, period.
If you’re using third-party cookies to track people – i.e., if you’re sharing their data with others – then *you must have their consent to do so*. Because, otherwise, you are violating their privacy. Even then, the law doesn’t mandate a cookie notice.
How would you conform to EU law without a cookie notice if your aim wasn’t malicious compliance?
You would not track people by default and you would make it so they have to go your site’s settings to turn on third-party tracking if, for some inexplicable reason, they wanted that “feature”.

Boom!
No cookie notice necessary.
Whatโs that?
But that would destroy your business because your business is founded on the fundamental mechanic of violating peopleโs privacy?
Good.
Your business doesnโt deserve to exist.
Because the real bullshit here isnโt EU legislation that protects the human right to privacy, itโs the toxic Silicon Valley/Big Tech business model of farming people for data that violates everyoneโs privacy and opens the door to technofascism.

Look, EU, it is difficult to take you seriously when you forced all this cookie notification bullshit on us.

in reply to Technology Connections • • •Any chance you could make your stuff visible on some other service? I find YT increasingly unpleasant to use. Nebula is the one I already subscribe to, if you want direct income.
Bribe: I'll join your Patreon if you do it. I have zero problem giving you money. I have big problems giving YouTube anything including eyeballs.

in reply to Carl (He/Him) • • •@nitpicking Videos are now being uploaded to Patreon and can be watched there. However, Patreon's video quality sucks compared to YT.
I know many people (especially here) loathe the idea of giving Google any money at all, but if there are creators on YouTube you like, YT premium functions pretty much like Nebula does. It's the main reason I haven't considered joining Nebula, it feels like a mix of Patreon and YouTube Premium but with extra steps.

in reply to Technology Connections • • •@nitpicking I could have quite the conversation about my thoughts here. I have a lot of stuff in my mind regarding affordances of platforms, gatekeeping of streaming services, discoverability and audience, algorithms, etc. etc.
On balance, I'd still rather be on YouTube and supported directly via Patreon.

in reply to Technology Connections • • •I've heard Seattle gets pretty damp for similar reasons to Blighty. Maybe they're the ideal US target market?
Although TBH I've used a refrigerant dehumidifier in England with no problem whatsoever. The defrost cycle has to kick in every now and then in the winter but once that's done it's back to business as usual. (That was in an inhabited space though, not an unheated cellar.)

in reply to Technology Connections • • •Now if instead of a little electric heater we could attach the pipe feeding hundreds of kWh at 60-70ยฐC to a dehumidifier box, that'd be sweet for all the "cold and wet winter" countries.
Is that enough of a temperature rise?
Edit: found one, but it's for greenhouse-scale operations
