    Thank you… Of course they were… as always…

    For another example, how much invaluable precious life time an unknown artist, behind the scenes, invested into the following vase model, texture, its location to set, just a single vase, I also captured in photo-mode of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey?
    What about the so casual rock and its texture right under it? What about the algorithm used for Depth of Field effect to program? The fire, colors, shadows logic and vertex shaders? And how many vases are in the title…
    Yet still, you see “garbage”, “does not worth $1”, “Ubisoft sucks”, “Assassin’s Creed sucks” and so on…

    It’s so… indescribably sorrowful… and almost heartbreaking… I literally avoid news and communities because of this disgraceful attitude I will never understand nor realize…

    Meanwhile, just a few consider how much time, love, effort actually human art requires… to just… appreciate, admire, attribute, remember, and learn from… As in every single title out there where actual artists do the work, the ineffably magnificent miracles…

    - But most students, in my experience, claim less severe ailments, such as ADHD or anxiety. And some “disabilities” are just downright silly. Students claim “night terrors”; others say they “get easily distracted” or they “can’t live with others”. I know a guy who was granted a single room because he needs to wear contacts at night. I’ve heard of a girl who got a single because she was gluten intolerant…

    - At Stanford, almost no one talks about the system with shame. Rather, we openly discuss, strategise and even joke about it. At a university of savvy optimisers, the feeling is that if you aren’t getting accommodations, you haven’t tried hard enough.

    I do not consider this fair, or adequate, regardless, of course. If you are healthy, you must be proud of it. It’s pure disgrace, regardless.

    Yes, these people may exploit the system, and probably are proud of it, but this all subconsciously affects self-confidence deeply, morally/psychologically, and it sure comes out soon or late from the mind and heart, from soul, especially if they started at age of tuitions, I believe.

    And here, for around 40 years living, working in military and education, I haven’t met anyone yet who would actually recover their inner stance enough to not become a fearful and self-disclosed individual, since the ethics border gets shift and blur gradually and permanently. These never find peace throughout their life, and trust no one, including themselves, which is indescribably sorrowful…

    Holy smokes! Thank you very much for mentioning it, dear @slazer2au@lemmy.world ! Since, I try not installing addons that are not published open-sourced, but this one is! ✨

    This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

    We looked at 680 pop-ups and combined their data processing purposes into 5 categories that you can toggle on or off. Sometimes our categories don’t perfectly match those on the website, so then we will choose the more privacy preserving option.

    The first version of this add-on works with 4 popular pop-ups: Cookiebot, OneTrust, QuantCast, and TrustArc. The add-on is open source, so anyone can add additional pop-ups through our template system: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic.

    Of course, thank you, and I do realize that, but:

    1. I tried selecting sections that where not associated with othe vendors - same result;

    2. Shouldn’t it still be allowed to store cookies for the same vendor/domain, without any consent, by default.

    3. There are other means/API than cookies to store consent state in common browsers, including: LocalStorage, IndexedDB, SessionStorage, CacheStorage etc.

    I see. Thank you for the response, and Oh! Thank you for a statistics reference shared, with the “lot” statistics, actual discussion, and comparisons, and your actual opinion on it!
    I.e. Comparisons between personal instance with their locally limited ActivityPub for their own environment/platform, and this - explicit change, which affects absolutely everyone who is in Lemmy, and whispers silently:

    - “Private, private, private, private…”,
    - “Hey… why aren’t we a private Community yet? Turn it on, right now!”,
    - “Let’s turn !linux@lemmy.world into a pay-wall membership Private Community with limited number of payment methods, so that only sanctioned/unsanctioned people might actually pay and join! Since, why not? It’s just a check in everyone’s config! So easy - wait for over8000 Members, and switch from Public to Private, in a second!”.
    … - “Oh, man… why is Lemmy so empty… Just 2 posts today over 50 Communities I am joined… Is all available in private Communities nowadays?”

    Wonderful day! 🪐

    Ha-ha! Of course, it’s okay to add emojis (or even emotes (/ o.o)/) to an accountable CV for responsible job to get trusted for! 😂
    Especially those for security 🔒, privacy 🕵️‍♀️, transparency 👁‍🗨…

    If I would look at such CV in search 🧭 for a trusted developer 👩‍💻, sys-admin 💻, manager 📜, accountant 💸, and for military forces ( -.-)7, sure thing the pretty pictures would increase the feel of trust to the level of the outer space and beyond!!!1 💪

    Oh! And why just LinkedIn? Perhaps to enhance the sense of accountability, some would want to add emojis to some documents, including employment contracts, Banking issues, weaponry certificates, and passports! Let’s make it shine in sparkles! ✨

    Look! LOL! OMG! This is the colleague on fields we need! They have these lovely emojis! Let’s hire them right now!
    Since, “There’s no crying in Special Forces!”

    What a nonsense, sorry…

    Human is human already, regardless how they speak and what they do…
    There’s always true sympathy and empathy to find in a human, regardless how busy, dark, erroneous etc. they are…
    Yet, it’s the true alive soul inside in every person…

    Medics are likely tired, doing their job every single day, yet they have empathy, and will always try to listen if you actually try…
    They know what PAIN, AGONY, DEATH, SORROW… fear means…

    LLM/“AI” will always pretend to be a human, since it’s “trained”/designed, to be so, and will always be limited and incomplete…
    Not to mention the initial dataset of numerous emphatic actual human has its limited memory inside, no one is responsible for.

    What a hopeless sorrow is that awful trendy, advertised, mind-atrophying mess…
