after my local march for australia rally, a guy in the march ended up coming to a bar where a bunch of the counterprotestors were hanging and a couple of them engaged with him. turns out he's a local moderate who either didn't know about the nazi connection or downplayed it and worked with migrants
how would you go about finding such people in your city and connect with them so as to dissuade them from coming to future events organized by fascists?
Subway Tooter fediverse app isgreat but sure does give some strange error messages sometimes. Or else has some crazy mistakes in its network connection code, IDK.
eg this one (photo attached), 103...:443 is correct, that's my fedi server's address. But sometimes it tries to connect to seemingly random ipv6 addresses instead. My server has no ipv6 address, none of the DNS servers I use return an ipv6 address for my site, the authoritative nameservers I use do not have any ipv6 either.
Also what's this 192.0.. address? Nothing on my phone network, nothing on my home network, nothing on my server, nothing anywhere uses 192.0...

Is there any ARM64 SoC that can boot to Linux without either requiring a DRAM controller initialization/training blob or punting the whole boot process to a second processor running wholly closed firmware? That second one rules out Raspberry Pi (for personal projects). I'd grudgingly accept ARM Trusted Firmware persistently running in the background if the SoC's branch/fork of that is fully open-source. But I still don't like how much code has to run before you get to the OS kernel.

Look, EU, it is difficult to take you seriously when you forced all this cookie notification bullshit on us. That feature a) should not exist and b) if it did, should be a BROWSER feature not "every website in the entire world now has to bother everyone forever about this stupid thing" blog.codinghorror.com/breaking…
The Firefox add-in Firesheep caused quite an uproar a few weeks ago, and justifiably so. Here’s how it works:
* Connect to a public, unencrypted WiFi network.
I'm sorry I usually really like your takes but this one is just not true: the only thing the EU Cookie Law requires is consent for cookies that are not technically necessary, so mostly tracking features in our current internet, which are extremely privacy-intrusive. Useful features such as login, shopping cart, settings etc. -- none of that requires any cookie banner. So websites making use of cookie banners only do that because they don't want to respect their users' privacy
That's a myth perpetrated by adtech industry. There is no EU obligation to spam cookie notices. There's an obligation not to track without explicit consent, and everyone illegally uses the cookie nag popups as a basis for claiming consent (which it's not). A legitimate, non malicious site has no need for cookie nags. Ever.
Moreover there *was* a browser feature to set it globally and all the assholes running websites refused to honor it and instead used your setting as an additional fingerprinting bit to track you.
@dalias However, even official EU websites spam you with cookie consent notices - see european-union.europa.eu/cooki…. It seems this is because they embed other services (YouTube, Facebook, Google Maps, see link for list). It's a pity that it's now apparently so hard to make a big website without using privacy-invading 3rd-party services. It would be great if the EU dropped/replaced these, but I imagine that would involve work to keep the same functionality.
@dalias I love the cookie autodelete firefox extension. Along with tmp containers it geves a quite nice protection I believe. But I still view all the dark-patterned dialogs and say no to cookies 😀 Btw, I recently for the first time experienced a site stating that they respected the do not track header: usopen.org.
@dalias And many practice "malicious compliance" where you have to spend several minutes disabling individual vendor cookies in the hopes you will just agree. Those site I close immediately. @codinghorror
@dalias Yup. Those cookie banners also are not necessary btw for using a cookie to eg store a JWT. As soon as a cookie banner shows up you know that that website does stuff that is *not* in your interest and has nothing to do with the website's service. They want to track you around the internet and send that data to brokers. DHH (self-proclaimed coding jesus) famously trashed EU on Lex Fraudmans podcast for cookie banners. That's how little he knows. Just saying.
it not being a browser feature is part of the dark pattern, i think. Data brokers and google would loose their business modell if this would be a browser feature and everyone selected to not agree. (Why would anyone ever select otherwise?)
We had DHT. Blame Microsoft for killing it. Blame advertisers for optimizing dark patterns. The cookie warning itself and the ability to explicitely refuse tracking+retargeting is not a bad thing.
That the EU 'forced' cookie banners is flat-out false. It was a *choice* for sites like yours to persist in the intensive collection of data about your users to feed in to the surveillance capitalism machine. As genuinely admirable as your philanthropy is, it was built on this.
The EU didn't force cookie notifications. The tech industry found cookie banners as a (bad) way to uphold GDPR, and that became the norm, but the GDPR text only talks about cookies once, saying "Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as IP addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as RFID tags." There is a very simple way to respect GDPR without a cookie banner: don't use cookies for your 256 "partners" that syphon all user interactions by default, and make functional but optional cookies opt-in on the elements they require (for instance, a Google Maps element can be unloaded by default and have a small text with a button on it, explaining that it requires consent to send data to Google). So really, the only thing that shouldn't be taken seriously regarding cookie notifications is the good will of web developers.
You chose to put up cookie notifications they are not mandatory. Just don't track your users that's all. We do it and we're fine. Stop blaming good legislation for your mistakes.
EU can be blamed for a lot of things, but it's definitely not forcing websites to collect users data to serve targeted ads, pretending otherwise is disinginuous.
Well, first of all EU didn't force that on websites, ad companies did. And second, the do-not-track in Firefox was shunned by ad companies. At least point the blame at the correct entity. Also, I don't think you'd like the EU to force browsers to do stuff. In that case you'd probably be complaining about that instead.
yup totally, another text of la made to let shittyfiers run business as usual.
how about do not track feature that is widely ignored but already implemented ? and yeah, if people making websites did not think it would be a good idea to give every people's privacy to analytics there would be no need for such cookie popups as it is already stated.
You've got things exactly backwards dude. It's the largely US-based advertisement giants that are pushing those cookie notifications at you, and it WAS a browser feature but the same advertisement giants fucked that up for us
If it only it was possible for websites to exist without tracking the shit out of every user.
But no, these evil popups which the EU definitely said every site must have stand in the way of the newsletter sign-up popup, the three overlaid autoplaying videos, the half screen ads, and the push notifications popup that we're all just dying to see.
Wait no you can just not treat visitors like a commodity to be shopped around. Because that's gross.
Yes it should be a browser feature. But no, this blame is not with the EU. They just require consent if you do overt user tracking. Even if you would want advertising, this form is toxic as fuck and enough sites do the invasive tracking without advertising.
There is a related browser feature that helps here: the do not track header. If you honor that, you do not need to show a cookie banner when set.
It *is* a browser in-built function. It has been since 2009. Websites just ignore it because "muh business model". Besides GDPR doesn't mandate cookie banners.
nah. The EU didn't "force the cookie notice" on anyone. It just requires that if you track people, you need their consent. If data brokers choose to make the most hideous dark patterned interfaces for that, then that's on them.
Tracking people without their consent is called stalking. You sure you want to defend that?
It‘s not the EU that is forcing „cookie notification bullshit“, it‘s the companies misusing personal identifiable Information for other purposes than providing the website to the user. If they wouldn’t there would not be a cookie information. Don‘t blame the institution caring for human rights and transparency of users; blame the companies misusing personal data.
A blog post from 2010 on how it's a bad idea to demand that every website uses https, but considering that a better authentication protocol won't come, demanding https is our best bet?
How's that relevant to cookie popups?
And how has noone in this thread noticed this before? Did they not read the blogpost?
Sorry, but this is bullshit US propaganda. There is no obligation to have a cookie banner (my blog does not have one, for instance), even if you use cookies (a lot of important uses, such as logging in and out are excluded).
Look, Jeff Atwood, it is difficult to take you seriously when you write authoritatively on a subject you clearly don’t understand.
GDPR doesn’t mandate cookie notices.
Cookie notices are *malicious compliance* by the surveillance-driven adtech industry.
If you’re not tracking people, you do not need a cookie notice, period.
If you’re only using first-party cookies for functional reasons, you do not need a cookie notice, period.
If you’re using third-party cookies to track people – i.e., if you’re sharing their data with others – then *you must have their consent to do so*. Because, otherwise, you are violating their privacy. Even then, the law doesn’t mandate a cookie notice.
How would you conform to EU law without a cookie notice if your aim wasn’t malicious compliance?
You would not track people by default and you would make it so they have to go your site’s settings to turn on third-party tracking if, for some inexplicable reason, they wanted that “feature”.
Boom!
No cookie notice necessary.
What’s that?
But that would destroy your business because your business is founded on the fundamental mechanic of violating people’s privacy?
Good.
Your business doesn’t deserve to exist.
Because the real bullshit here isn’t EU legislation that protects the human right to privacy, it’s the toxic Silicon Valley/Big Tech business model of farming people for data that violates everyone’s privacy and opens the door to technofascism.
GDPR never mandated cookie banners. GDPR mandated user consent. There was a browser feature for that: the DNT HTTP header. That header was deprecated because nobody respected it. It was just easier to enforce user consent through cookie banners and dark patterns.
Nothing here is EU's fault. You want a better option? Campaign for a legislation to enforce the website to respect DNT.
It was a missed opportunity indeed. Instead of allowing non-essential tracking cookies if the user naïvely agrees to them, they should just have been banned outright. No banners needed.
As for technically required cookies like session ids no banner is necessary.
I feel it difficult to believe that the EU meant for those cookie banners to be the response to their requirements. It is nothing else than malicious compliance.
After doing some digging it seems that functional cookies do not require consent, but the tracking that is shared with third-parties does (that would be advertisers and social ).
Look, Jeff, it is difficult to take you seriously when you spread an easily disproven and false claim about cookie banners. You should a) maybe spend a few more minutes researching this and b) if you want to blog about this, correctly blame the RESPONSIBLE parties for reacting to a law by trying to immediately step around it instead of just complying
I send a "Do Not Track" header with every web request. The websites choose to ignore that and ask anyway because they are trying to trick me into letting them follow me all over the web like spooky creeps.
I am working for a Data Protection Office. Cookie Notices are *NOT* necessary by default. We do review those, and, yes, there are websites that dont need cookie banners. Why? because they don't track their users. Simple as that.

Yemen Vows Retaliation for Assassinations, Palestinian Resistance Release Statements
The head of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, confirmed that the government of Change and Construction will continue its work in a caretaker capacity, stressing that the blood of al-Rahawi and his fellow ministers will serve as a catalyst for resilience, rebuilding, and continuing the path.
In a speech on Saturday evening, al-Mashat added that “our great martyrs bore their responsibility with full merit during the most difficult period in Yemen’s history and fulfilled their pledges to support Gaza,” noting that state institutions will continue to provide services to the Yemeni people.
Al-Mashat also stressed that the Yemeni people are capable of overcoming all difficulties and challenges, adding, “The enemy will not be able to break our resolve, and we will not be intimidated by airstrikes or terrified by threats.”
He also vowed revenge for the Zionisti crime, addressing the Israelis, saying, “We will have our revenge, and we will forge victory from the depths of our wounds. Our vengeance is implacable, and black days await you.”
“We will meet challenge with challenge, and you Zionists will never again taste any sense of security,” he stressed.
Furthermore, al-Mashat affirmed that Yemen’s stance regarding Gaza is firm, no matter the scale of the sacrifices, stating that the blood of the martyrs “was consecrated by a covenant to support Palestine.”
Call to cut boycott dealings with the occupation
In messages to the international community, al-Mashat called on Arab and Islamic nations, as well as the world, to boycott any dealings with assets tied to the occupation, stating that “the opportunity is still ripe for settlers to return to their home countries.”
He also issued a final warning to all companies in the occupation entity to “leave before it’s too late.”
The presidency of the republic in Sanaa had announced on Saturday the martyrdom of Prime Minister Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahawi and a number of his fellow ministers, following a Zionist strike that targeted a meeting they were attending this past Thursday.
Ahmad Ghalib Nasser al-Rahawi Al-Yafei, a southern Yemeni politician from the General People’s Congress, was born in Khanfar district in Abyan Governorate, and he held several administrative positions, including Deputy Governor roles in both al-Mahwit and Abyan.
After the Saudi-led war on Yemen began, al-Rahawi relocated to Sanaa, where he was appointed Governor of Abyan and later joined the Supreme Political Council, and, on August 13, 2024, he became head of the Government of Change and Construction.
A prominent southern figure opposing the US-backed aggression, al-Rahawi survived multiple assassination attempts, including the destruction of his home by Al-Qaeda. He was known for his patriotic stance, tribal influence, and loyalty to Yemen’s sovereignty.
Palestinian Resistance responds
Across the board, the factions offered their deepest condolences to the Yemeni people, the government, and the leadership of Ansarallah.
Hamas emphasized the blending of Palestinian and Yemeni blood in the ongoing battle of Al-Aqsa Flood. The movement stated that these “pure and dear bloods that were shed on the brotherly land of Yemen… mix today with the blood of the convoys of our Palestinian people,” which serves to “affirm the unity of our nation and the centrality of our cause.” Hamas framed the assassination as an act of “zionist arrogance against all international norms and laws” that underscores the danger the entity poses to the entire region.
The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine described the martyrdom as a “badge of honor, pride, and dignity for the leaders of Yemen and its brave heroes.” The statement stressed that this event “confirms the unity of blood between the Palestinian and Yemeni peoples” in their shared confrontation with the “criminal zionist entity, the enemy of the nation and of humanity.” PIJ expressed total confidence that Yemen will continue to defend the nation’s dignity and “punish the usurping entity for its brutal crimes.”
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine focused on the futility of the enemy’s actions, stating that its “policies of assassination and treachery… have proven their impotence and failure.” The Front asserted that the enemy will “reap nothing from its crimes but more shame and disgrace,” while the blood of the martyrs will “remain fuel for the march of steadfastness.” The PFLP praised the fallen leaders as a “model of loyalty and commitment to the nation’s causes, foremost among them the cause of Palestine.”
The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement declared that the martyrdom of Yemen’s leaders is “conclusive proof of the correctness of the path” and an affirmation of the “nation’s unity and its destiny in the face of the corrupting zionist enemy.” The movement highlighted that targeting a civilian government meeting reflects the “state of helplessness and failure” the enemy has reached due to Yemen’s powerful and continuous strikes. It also stressed that the Palestinian people “will not forget the sacrifices of the great Yemeni people who are paying the price for their authentic and honorable position.”
Fatah Al-Intifada offered its condolences with “verses of pride, honor, insistence, and steadfastness.” The movement praised Yemen’s leaders and people who “continue to write the most wonderful epics of heroism in their support for the oppressed Palestinian people.” The statement warned that far from weakening them, “all these assassinations… will increase their steadfastness, firmness, and insistence on remaining in the camp of resistance,” vowing that “these pure bloods will bring calamity upon this zionist enemy.”
