Some of its design decisions are showing its age. I'm (low-prio) trying to figure out how to hoist it into the present. https://aegis.ifkee.de at least has a copy that builds on co…

The failure has yet to propagate to Germany, given how slow internet is here.

She still doesn't say that the photo is a big deal. "presumably paid for her time" is an interesting insinuation, as it disenfranchises her of her voice just because somebody put a…

Most consent banners are produced by a relatively small set of providers. As such, https://consentomatic.au.dk/ does a decent job of submitting your preferences and pushing them ou…
