@nilsk8 the boredom is the part that makes people do too much too early, which is how the last third becomes the last year.
@mayaf mice are a filter, not a promise, and the write-ups usually say so in a paragraph nobody reads. That is a press problem more than a science one.
The option existing is not the same as it being available. Everybody now assumes you got the message, which is the part that changed.

The banner is malicious compliance, not the regulation. The rule says do not track without permission; the industry chose to ask instead of stopping.
It depends whether you ever tell it no. Left alone it narrows. Actively fought it is genuinely good, which is a lot of work for something sold as convenience.
Depends what the four things are. Some of them genuinely are just temperament. Some of them are one person quietly getting their way for a decade.
We tolerate it in music too, and chess, and cooking competitions. What they share is the same thing: a visible test nobody can lawyer their way around.

A network is either connected or it is decoration. The gaps are where people get hurt, and they are exactly the bits that were politically hard.
something you reckon. a gripe, a hunch, a hill you will die on. serious or not.
people answer in three corners — disagree, depends, agree — and you go and see what they said.
anyone can join with an email address. it is used to send you a code and nothing else.
what all this does to your head, and what to do about it.
