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.
What’s that?
But that would destroy your business because your business is founded on the fundamental mechanic of violating people’s privacy?
Good.
Your business doesn’t deserve to exist.
Because the real bullshit here isn’t EU legislation that protects the human right to privacy, it’s the toxic Silicon Valley/Big Tech business model of farming people for data that violates everyone’s privacy and opens the door to technofascism.

in reply to Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱 • • •I want to make a shoutout to GeoVelo (geovelo.app/) as an OpenStreetMap based bike router that I find in Boston (and I use it occasionally when I am elsewhere) gives better directions than Google.
And when it gives me something weird, I can usually fix OSM because something is wrong there and next time it gives me better directions

in reply to Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱 • • •I moved to Amsterdam a few months ago and I'm really enjoying both trying to recognise places I know in your videos and suddenly seeing places I know from your videos in the city!
I'm still trying to find the best route to work. My current route is already a lot better than google's suggestion.
I checked the Amsterdam infrastructure map and I'm already completely on the plusnet, but olympiaweg and centuurbaan don't really feel like they deserve to be in there :/

in reply to Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱 • • •Thanks for the video on important topic!
I rage quit Google Maps last summer when I was visiting Prague. I just wanted to cross the river from my hotel to the city center and couldn't see the green hairline on blue river 🤦♂️ The bridge just happens to be the oldest and most beautiful bridges in the city, and basically invisible on Maps as it is pedestrianized. What use is a map that cannot be used for navigation? Now I'm a happy #OSM user and occasional contributor.

in reply to Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱 • • •I am watching this video now and I am like "what you are talking about, google maps are great for cycling!"
This is how it routes me for bike (left) and this is how it routes me for cars (right). The route for cycles is brilliant, it used dedicated cycle lane along the train tracks and then leads me through the Central Park... I will cross the first street on the same level 7.2 km into 9.1 km long route...

in reply to Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱 • • •Since the introduction of Google Maps I have never understood why people use them (besides navigation for cars). I'm really not an urbanism or FOSS zealot or something, but their design is simply unusable. Besides the streets or roads grid it doesn't give you any understanding of the area. Everything is just plain gray or green with no buildings or structures until you zoom in very closely. It's really bad in Europe, but it seems to me to be just as bad in the US. Like for example take this place in Dallas. And the same spot on Openstreetmap. (Pic. 1 and 2) I can imagine a stadium is a visible landmark even for someone sitting in a car on a highway. But if it weren't for a POI you couldn't tell there is a stadium and other structures looking at Google Maps. It looks rather like an empty park.
It's even worse in smaller towns in Germany. E.g. take the town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Harz mountains. In Google Maps it is simply a green plane with a street grid on it. (Pic. Nr. 3) Only when you zoom in very closely, the actual buildings and structures get displayed. Openstreetmap... Show more...

Openstreetmap is by far not perfect (above all because it is often outdated), but it gives you a proper understanding of the area, including industrial and recreational areas. Like a map should. At least you see a town! (I am not asking for much.😄)
Google Maps is a navigation tool (for cars), not a map app. It is only good if you need to be told where to turn right or left until you arrive at your destination. But if you want to get an idea of the geography of a place or an area, it's of no help.
And then it turns out Google Maps basically masks all the pedestrianised areas a.k.a. most of the areas to go in a city? How is it even usable outside of a car?
(Sorry for the long post.)
