  • Most of those cookie banners are not even needed, you only need them for tracking cookie, not login and session cookies. But of course everyone decided it is just easier to nag all the users with a big splash screen.

    A lot of them are not even doing it right, you are not allowed to hint the user that accept all is the “correct” choice by having it in a different color than the others. And being able to say no to all shouls be as easy as accepting all, often it isn’t.

    Basically, cookie banners are usually not needed and when they are they are most often incorrectlt designed (not by accident).


  • The problem is that it is almost always just one lf them. Let’s say that v0.20 is called “Fuck Spez” and v0.21 is called “YouKnowWhatFuckMuskToo”.

    Most people are going to refer to them by either the number or the name, almost never are both used. The biggest problem with names is that they are rarely sortable (google did it with android, for a bit but not anymore), so in the future it is hard to know which is which without resorting to looking at a list of releases.

    For example, in the future when we are on v0.30 someone might say “ah, but this has been an issue since “Fuck Spez”.” And then most likely you have to look it up to know what they are talking about. If we coulld force everyone to alwaya write “version “Fuck Spez” (v0.20)” then it would be great, but that never happens.

    I personally prefer just semantic versioning for this reason.
