Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

These stupid Cookie- popups. Damn, every site uses cookies. Just let me set my preference once, across the entire internet, and shut the fuck up.
If you use uBlock Origin, you can go into the settings under filter list and activate all lists in Cookie Notice, Socials and Annoyances. Makes the web much better.
Thank you! I had all but one checked
Does hiding the notices with uBlock count as allowing or denying the cookies?
It is default deny, otherwise instead of being half the screen, those banners would be so small that the deny button would be pixel sized, just as the close ad button on Android games.
Agreed, but let's go one step deeper: Fuck the notion that privacy is an individual consumer right instead of a collective societal problem. I don't "consent" to any of that crap, but I shouldn't be able to at all. Legislate away the behaviors you don't want, instead of pushing that onto people who don't care. Corruption is wrong even if all parties "consent". Extortion, election tampering, mass exploitation, same thing. The whole problem is the companies do what they want, don't give a damn if data gets stolen, governments are in on it. That's not an individual issue
Consent-o-matic on Firefox does the vast majority of them for you.
There are a few browser plugins that suppress them. None are going to catch and eliminate every one of them, but they can reduce the frequency. I use I still don't care about cookies.
I combine that with cookie auto - delete. Cookies are accepted or whatever, and then immediately deleted after closing the tab.
