seriously can websites stop trying to claim "we respect your privacy"

if your website does any of the following, you do not respect my privacy:

1. have a cookie banner
2. require more than one click to reject all non-essential cookies
3. call personalized advertising a "feature"
4. call telemetry "help improve our site"
5. have a "do not sell my personal information" link anywhere
6. require the person to live in california to use that link

Be mindful.

So many people there are like "why are you having this problem? MS-DOS? just design the flag in inkscape or g*mp! why would you want to design a pride flag for DOS?"

It's real sad. They just don't understand why anyone would write software to display pride flags on DOS.

if the York Times is so good why isn't there a New York Times

Why is it exactly 0% surprising that Gamers are upset about god mode being implemented as an accessibility feature but not about actual god mode cheats 🤔
