he’ll be in jail by January.

Sigh - no he won't, so can we stop pretending like he will ever face punishment for anything?

Can you take the negative energy you're spewing elsewhere? It would be nice to not have this place turn into another reddit cesspool. Thanks.

Most people tend to incorrectly think

I mean, Musk and Tesla oversold and mismarketed the feature. Don’t blame the consumer here.

I would much rather him be thrown into a prison cell and his assets seized to pay back all the unpaid bills he has collected over the decades.

And be sure to "tip" with one of those fake bills. in c/atheistmemes@lemmy.world

Just a FYI, teflon products produced after the removal of PFOAs in 2013 are safe to use.

EDIT: Perhaps PTFE is also bad

Biden at the Democratic convention was unrecognisable from his disastrous debate in c/politics@lemmy.world

I imagine it feels bad to have been pushed out like he was.

I'm sure it feels bad but he shouldn't have been running again in the first place. The dead horse has been beaten to powder but he is way too old to be running a country - especially 4 years from now.

Cookies are very small snippets of code that have a specific purpose. Making a one-size-fits-all cookie would make them complicated and much harder to track - which goes against the point of a cookie. Also, cookies are often independent of each other because they are from different providers/different tools. Having a one-size-fits-all cookie would also present a security hazard and make laws similar to GDPR about cookie tracking difficult to implement. An example of a tool that actually does use one cookie is Adobe's Marketo. You can read some more about them here. https://termly.io/resources/articles/types-of-internet-cookies/

As someone who works in tech, I can confidently say that many people plainly do not understand what cookies do and why they exist. There are plenty of cookies that are good and useful, but third party advertising tracking cookies are the devil folks don't like. Necessary, performance and functional cookies are all chill.
