    The ‘cookie’ law is (mainly) the ePrivacy Directive, that requires websites to get a user’s informed, specific, and affirmative consent before storing or accessing non-essential information on their device.

    To comply a website must inform users about their cookie usage (who is using it, why, and how long they are stored, I think) and allow users to easily withdraw their consent at any time (though there’s no requirement to easily decline).

    Actualy looking at the site, it already might be? I’m not sure, I don’t remember the specifics of the law. But there is a banner pop up and you do inform cookies are used and why, and there’s an easy way to withdraw consent.


  • In the case of the USA, there’s more than just the lack of gun restrictions at play. If you were to compare knife deaths per capita in the UK (we all know how much of a problem stabbings are in the UK) and USA, the US is leading by a significant margin (and that’s on top of gun deaths ofc).

    For a gun ban to reduce death in the USA you’d first need to addres atleast some of the other systemic problems the country has been neglecting and/or intentionaly expolting.

    You’re the one who brought age into this convo?

    Tap for unraleted yapping

    Your account is 19 months old, and you have 7,5k comments??? That’s about 400 comments per month, and comes out to 12-13 per day? How do you have the patience and time for that? I can’t be bothered replaying to more than one comment/post per week.


  • Is your dumb TV new or old? I’ve been trying to find something to replace my old plasma (it started to make cracking noises, that doesn’t seem like a good sign) for a while now, but it looks like every new TV is ‘smart’.

    Edit: I know I can buy a smart one, don’t connect it to the internet and use it like a dumb one. I’m not dumb, the TV I want to buy should be. It’s about principles.










  • Well there’s a lot of useful things that 100 pounds can get you. Depending on what you consider incredibly useful, and what you do everyday. A quick list of the top of my head:

    • good quality first aid kit
    • old/new but shit smartphone
    • pair of decent working boots
    • shit ton of used clothes (atleast where I live, idk about the UK), to wear or as fabric
    • set of screwdrivers and bits
    • cheap drill, or good used drill
    • used laptop
    • used oscilloscope
    • used all kinds of electronics really; TVs, displays, audio stuff
    • thermal water bottle
    • Self-defense stuff

  • Not in the first comment, and I replayed to the second one only because they were acting like a stereotypical obnoxious redditor. As for LMM use, sure it could replace them, just give it a little more time and more money and a bit more money and some more money and also enough data server centres to suck dry entire lakes

    “assumptions”? Maybe consider how “I’m so sick of coding” implies you’re doing coding? I’m so sick of driving, oh no somebody ‘assumed’ I’m a driver instead of a mechanic. Believe it or not, most people ‘assume’ something when you use sentences that imply it. CrAZy, riGhT? 😲
