    Honestly that EU cookie legislation does more harm than good.

    No, this is malicious compliance bullshit. About as clever as a three year old asking if dolly can have a sweetie instead

      So many popup ads, and no adblockers to prevent them.

        No, it forces people to actively take a stand about the surveillance and exploitation of your data. Without it those things just happens automatically (they still do of course, but not in the form of cookies at least).

        Anyway, get the consent-o-matic extension for your browser, it seriously lessens the annoyance, although companies are beginning to take notice of it and are making attempts at circumventing it.

          I experience the "search box deselected after starting to type" problem on Amazon pretty much every time I use it, even if I have the page up for several minutes before starting to use it. Its like the search box.is specifically designed to fuck with me.

          Multiple platforms, multiple browsers, it's like they dont have anyone actually looking at their UX.

            how??? I mean, really now? How does the GDPR cause harm? I mean, it harms the greedy marketing corporations and data farmings, but that's good.

              I'll enshrine this post it encapsulates something that I always struggled to put into words.

              And, the sites end up eating battery.

                I came here to say this. Often times the pop ups are so bad that I just leave the site. Its almost never worth it

                  Yeah, but they would have done that in 2005 too, if you were using them on a device with a battery.

                      I remember arguing with my mum over a banner ad that said "congratulations you're the 1000th person to visit this page, youve won 1million dollars"

                      I was really young and I was like mum just put your card in here and get a million dollars its so easy and you always complain about having no money. Its not a scam we just got lucky.

                      I am lucky neither of my parents had a credit card or any trust for computers.

                      I only fell for one of those maybe once or twice before I caught on. No money was lost though. just spam/adware

                      I did manage to get scammed and have my habbo hotel account stolen though, I was also a stupid kid.

                        Oh yeah you definitely can find price variations but I can't recall ever finding a better price not on Amazon except maybe getting electronic components off eBay. Those were always a gamble if they'd ever arrive or not though.

                        Ehh, I've found a good number of items for better prices off of Amazon. Mostly parts like carbon fiber tubes (a local manufacturer had some awesome prices), electric motors, weird niche parts... it really depends. Though Amazon IS NOT the best place to look for many items when you actually know what you want.

                        Even then, once you find something you're willing to throw in your cart, it's always worth it to do a couple general web searches (not shopping searches) for the same/similar items to check prices. Even if Amazon is the best normal price, sales and discounts crop up pretty often.

                        Amazon is thoroughly in their enshittification phase. It shouldn't be surprising that others can offer similar/better prices.

                            I use Arch BTW.

                            Teams runs on just about anything, which is part of why it's so slow.

                            Back in the day Windows 98 was definitly faster than SUSE on my machine. Drivers back then on Linux were rough and if you wanted to play a game you'd need Windows or DOS for sure.

                            I only had 56k dialup back then, no fast internet for me.

                            Gotcha. Something about what you said made it sound like the standard windows flavor to me.

                            Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten so used to running teams in a browser tab that its lagginess just feels like a slow loading webpage refresh, while the rest of the system’s GUI is flawless.

                              I use so many extensions in my browser it will literally shock me when I use someone else's computer. Websites will just be massively different, full of ads. Most news sites are just not usable workout some serious script blocking and ad block.
