Europe as a whole is swinging too far too the right. Y’all all are descending back into Fascism. The recent popularity of the AfD in Germany being a prime example. My own parents - who immigrated from Germany - are deeply disappointed in the direction the country is taking.

Yes, but the US is already there and has a fascist at the helm so I’m assuming your parents immigrated elsewhere or this is a weird comment.

I think everyone everywhere knows the world over is sliding to the right.

Pot, Kettle, Black. The US Republican party is about as, if not more fascist than the German AfD or Austrias FPÖ.

In comparison, the US Democrats are about where European conservatives can be located on the political spectrum.

This does not imply that the current political direction is not problematic.

GDPR is great, but we all hate cookie banners

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's a firefox extension I still don't care about cookies that deals with these.

Since firefox rolled out total cookie protection the risks to privacy are minimal anyway.

The cookie banner law isn't the problem, websites don't have to have one.

They only need to ask permission to invade your privacy.

Too bad nearly every website wants to.

Honestly, they've basically shitted on the intent of the GDPR last year when they started allowing sites to block users who did not choose to allow personalized ads as long as they had a "paid" alternative very few people are actually going to use. It was a perversion of what Google did, which was entirely different since they still allowed people to disable personalized ads and accept generic ads instead.
