When did browsing the web become a game of Whac-A-Mole? I don’t want your app, I don’t give a crap about cookies, I don’t want to chat with your AI.

@stucki if I have to do that again anytime soon I’m just hiring one of the TikTok/YouTube guys to deal with it for me.

@paul Ironically half the appeal of LLM chatbots. They don't ask about signing in, their chatbot, cookies, newsletter, app… they just tell you what you can trade with Snuggly the Crow. Maybe even correctly!

@paul don’t move to Europe. Every single page you visit requires you to click away cookie pop ups and other newsletter/ai assistant nonsense.

But we have free healthcare and no fascism, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
