A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

why does it exist?

The EU made them do it.

This time it's the EEA, or Schengen, but probably backed up by the EU. I think the N version worked, sort of, but there were also some dark design patterns there. Mind you, this is some legislation ago, so the new one might actually be a better solution. We'll have to see.
