 @TomSellers No, no, you've got the interpretation of that one all wrong. It's "I elect to give you no thanks", not "no, but thanks".  @mathew @EndlessMason @tkinias @mathew I was thinking the "allow notifications" popups instead of subscribe to our spam mail list. @mathew Then another dialog from the top of the screen: click 'allow' to be notified of future opportunities to be kicked in the nuts   @mathew "I'm going deeper underground / there's too much enshittification in this town" -- Jamiroquai   @mathew lmao, I just switched to this tab, so your image looked like an actual popup.... ... and I nearly clicked "Maybe later" on autopilot  @mathew That whole "Maybe later" thing is incredibly gross. It's very strong evidence that techbros do *not* understand consent at all. @mathew give them a year and the "Maybe" will get removed from the second button. Another year and it is "Later but twice as hard". @mathew Kidding aside, plugins like consent-o-matic remove a lot of this kind of cruft , in combination with ublock origin you end up with a fairly usable internet https://consentomatic.au.dk/

  @MaltaGraphics Oh yeah sure… Instead of using a decent browser and blocking annoying popups with the only tracker/ad-blocker that actually works (uBlock Origin), use the fraud that's called "brave"… Great idea!  @mathew @pluralistic and now you know why I kick said websites in the groin by using @torproject / #TorBrowser as a middle finger!  And "Review preferences" takes you to a section that lists "Essential nut kicking" with a toggle that's turned on but greyed out so you can't change it.    @mathew uBlacklist is great. If I get a website that has an anti-adblocker wall, I just block that site from my search results and never see it again ✨ @mathew This list of 350 companies believe they have a legitimate interest in kicking you in the nuts. Deselect each one individually if you prefer your nuts left unkicked.   @mathew I'm enjoying going through cookie management dialogues where I try to specify that I want the cookies that make the site work, but none of the marketing and tracking, and definitely not the one where I sell ineluctable ineffables to L. Morningstar, LLC. Somehow I always fail to enable the cookie that records my cookie settings. (And I'm already using a Firefox add-on to manage cookies, that rarely works,)    |
@mathew Close, but the button to decline says “No thanks”
Always hated having to “thank” them for interrupting me..
