Sven A. SchmidtIf you’re angry about EU regulations because of cookie banners then malicious compliance has worked on you.

@finestructure There's no such thing as "Necessary Cookies"
James Henstridge@itisiboller @finestructure Sure there are. Any website that has user accounts will likely have at least one necessary cookie to manage that login session.

@jamesh @itisiboller @finestructure Even that is not a technical necessity - HTTP login still works and predates Cookies...
@kkarhan @itisiboller @finestructure Basic auth is a pretty terrible user experience though.
Account creation, password changes, etc will be fairly awkward. It's going to be close to impossible to implement 2FA. Modern browsers no longer show the server-provided realm as a prompt, because scammers were using it for phishing.
There's a reason why cookies took off for managing sessions.

Maybe it's because the entire #TechStack on #WebDevelopment is a cancerous growth which tires to solve serious structural integrity issues with more and more flex-tape?
I think that using proper #E2EE with #PGP #Pubkeys for both Users and Servers would've alleviate the issues.
The whole #SSL fuckshitstack is bad and sadly we failed to teach users basic #TechLiteracy and now we can only broom away the glass shards before the kids trample in them...
