Wouldn't really matter for most sites hosted in America. American businesses do not have to comply unless they have EU customers.

International sites like YouTube absolutely has some system that will switch the cookie tracking depending on geo location, from CCPA to GDPR.

But American sites don't really gaf. Small News site in America, unless they're paying for a fancy Cookie Consent Management tool, is doing it the US way and it's opt out, regardless of where you're coming from.

For example: if Kansas News site gets a warning from the EU about cookies, they're not going to care. They don't have the budget, and honestly, easier to just block all IPs from outside the US.

If you hate this, stop using American products and services. (And I say this as a privacy concerned American)

I saw a meme about sound cards recently and thousands of likes on social media.

And I wonder if it's people up voting because they remember that era, if it's bots, or if it's just people who kinda get the joke and don't want to be left out?

In the US, it's the opposite. The way the law is written, you have to OPT out. So they're collecting the moment you land.

I've set up a bunch of these cookie banners for US businesses. You can choose if you follow the EU version, or the CCPA version.

Absolutely this.

2010s was a wild west of downloading multi pack codecs BS. Just let me play the video!

I watched this movie 3-4 times and even when reading this, I'm still spaced out.

Ben Stein just has a voice that makes me tune him out.

Such a great voice for comedy. Shame he's anti-abortion, pretty racist, pro-Regan and Trump, weirdly against evolution... So many awful perspectives.

Boiled eggs that kids paint and then hidden on the church grounds is the norm where I am.

It's 3 two hour events with different age groups. Eggs are rarely sitting around for longer than that.

I was trying but ran out of creative juices.

George bush Jr. Columbine. Wall Street protests. TSA. BLM. George Floyd. OJ chase. Probably a dozen more if I had time to think.

Speak for yourself. My local church who does Sunday Easter was begging for financial donations and egg donations.

One of the "threats" was using potatoes or rocks.

They're concerned because next year, the free egg hunt might be a paid event.

I love it.

I saw Elden Ring worked for Steam Deck, and I either had to buy a new graphics card or get the Deck, and I chose wisely.

I was like you a few years ago.

The crappy ones feel like that.

Then I sat on a fancy one that sang me a lullaby and gave me positive encouragement as I pooped. My god, my entire butthole is so fresh.

I now understand.

Had a economics professor who wore cargo shorts and a hoodie to lecture halls. He rode a foldable bike and I'm pretty sure he skateboarded on weekends.

He was getting an achievement award for something and he goes in a full blown suit and tie. I asked him why he didn't go in his usual clothes, and he said, "I need a couple more awards and sit at the top before I can do that."

That's my goal.

And then we laugh and go, "What a sick and crazy idea and by pointing out how crazy it is, society will learn not to do this."

And then a decade later, you'll see it in stores.

I was not expecting this to be a 40 minute youtube video.

I feel old because I remember when this conversation was happening with airbrushing photographs and then Photoshop.

And now these days, really good Photoshop is invisible. We can remove people from backgrounds. We can improve the lighting. Movie CGI is just photoshooting stills.

AI will reach that stage too, where it will be so good, it's scary that you can't tell.

Jedi religion rose dramatically from 1900 to today.

Tennessee? Missouri? Alabama?

I and a bunch of coworkers are already de googling/finding alternatives.

The pandemic showed us that we are willing to throw nice words around and call people heroes and then watch them melt down because nobody wants to work anymore to make my fajita.

Damn! Was a dude in white spidermaning up a wall around them too?!
