@balasubramanium四眼心理医生 @Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: The use for cookies was supposed to be things like logins or shopping sessions where there is a need to prevent a 3ed party from taking over the session. Remember this was before https became common in the wake of the Snowden disclosures.

JS was supposed to be for interactive elements such as embedding a playable video, or hashing a passphase to obstruct "rainbow table" precomputed brute-force attacks on accounts.

Instead a very large part of the Internet has become actively malicious, seeking to weaponize browser and computer features against users so their data can be sold.

I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪

The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.

No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.

My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

Yours shouldn't either.

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: Thank you! As a publisher, we donʼt track, but we did have some ads from networks that tracked. I made a commitment to our readers (not that any asked for this) that we would be tracker-free this year. I wrote to the ad networks to see if any would go along with this and got zero replies. So we removed all their ads. Now we just have ones we run ourselves with no trackers. Didnʼt seem particularly hard to do and I wish more would.

Figments of Reality: The Evolution of the Curious Mind by Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen, 1997

In Figments of Reality, mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen's thesis (or schtick) is that human minds are produced by complicity between human brains and culture. In their earlier book The Collapse of Chaos, Stewart and Cohen used the power of Humpty Dumpty to redefine complicity to mean properties that emerge from the mutual interaction of complex systems.



Mathematics and geometry professor Stewart, who writes the "mathematical recreations" column in Scientific American, and biologist Cohen are witty, erudite, clever, at times funny, and generally clearheaded in this rationalist's view of the universe and human evolution. Their thesis is that the human mind evolved in response to the complexity of the world and that language?and, indeed, culture?are inextricable parts of this process: there could be no mind without evolution but no evolution without mind. As is apparently mandatory in books on this subject, the authors include examples, anecdotes, and samples from literally every field of human and animal endeavor to illustrate, illuminate, and elucidate their thesis, making their case by seemingly having on hand millions of bits of information. A delightful but heavy read that is excellent for academic collections and general collections with a highly literate readership.?Mark L. Shelton, Univ. of Massachusetts Medical Ctr., Worcester

요새 회사가 굿즈주는것에 인색해서 뭔가 세션에 참가해 적극적으로 질문을 한다거나 해야 굿즈를 받을 수 있는데… 나같은 I인간에겐 너무 어려운것이다
