Is there a way to make web sites shut up about cookies?

Guys, it doesn't matter who is in office.

Except it really does. There are always stupid and uninformed people at the helm if not straight up evil with many reps older than television running this show (into the ground). Most of them have never touched a computer or keyboard. Imagine that. Who's usually in their ears? Every boomer, zoomer and tumor that thinks millennials are annoying until they need technical help. THAT is our lot. That's what we get to work with right now and it's just not getting better without a LOT of effort. Also a few things just aren't getting fixed like ever. Susan saw to that as quickly as possible with most of our centralized online media and then there's all the genie out of the bottle type of situations, like this recent everything "AI" noise.

The solicitors, board people, shareholders and all the other discount gangster garbage all have the same reverse touch of Midas when it comes to keeping things pleasant. As always: normies ruin everything. A lot of them don't get voted in either, they're installed and then do genuinely stupid things that throw a spanner into the works to the benefit of nobody.

As much as I'd love to see the World Wide Web go back to its (mostly) outlaw ways in 1993 with less than a million active users, that's simply not realistic. You can't turn back the clock on these things.

Some of us did exactly that. The technology stagnation in Japan seems a little forced when you start poking around on systems with historic content running from software you've never heard of. Pretty based. Computers have definitely changed our lives but this issue of being terminally online stems from the idea of everything being online, always. Not everything needs to be connected to the Internets. People have to learn that the hard way.

Frick, view this as a car. You need a gas pedal and brake. You should have a fuel level gauge. The browser keeps that fuel level reading for some time, but it will eventually reset and you'll have to get a new fuel reading. The optional inclusion of that fuel gauge does clutter your instrument cluster, but it prevents you from running out of fuel. This is why you think a fuel gauge is required...but it isn't. To make a car work you only require a way to start and stop moving in it. A fuel gauge, like the memory of your preferences, is a convenience.


Regarding all of this...you want the browser to remember something without it actually storing that something. Have you heard of the phrase "You can't have your cake and eat it too." If not, then we need to go back to grade school. It means you can't store nothing, and store your choices...so maybe there is a value in cookies? I mean, it sucks to get a speeding ticket, but it's a thing you get when you drive dangerously. The consequence of not storing any data is to not store data...so why are you guys acting butt hurt? This is like being angry you have to fill out your credit card information when buying online, and then turning around and also being upright because you keep yourself safe online by not saving that data into your browser. Actions have consequences...duh... Am I dealing with people who don't understand the original point of cookies was to store data and personalize stuff online with that data?

It's only recently that this personal data has been discovered to be a viable source of saleable information...but that's also a no freakin' brainer. In other news water is wet, fire is hot, and the dumbest decisions on the planet follow the phrase "hold my beer."

I literally said you can't disable the functional cookies and all of this falls under that.
