Other browsers have been blocking third-party cookies for quite a while, so I cannot imagine any ad network which doesn't already have alternative solutions in place and is therefore simply given more identifying data by this system. If Google genuinely wanted to change the ad model, they'd block tracking scripts by default.

Title says "enhanced privacy" and text says they're handing out more data to websites...
I understood the post as those webpages only refusing to load, if the user declines Cookies. So, they do still want to benefit off of those EU users, who click "Accept".
Legal cookie banners need to make consent as easy as nonconsent.
So, if "Accept All" is a button, "Deny All" also needs to be a button.
Also, you cannot refuse service to someone who refuses Cookies, unless they're necessary to the functioning of the service.
Without these principles, it wouldn't be consent. You can't force someone to give consent.
You also do not need a Cookie banner, if:
- you don't track personal data. (GDPR literally does not apply.)
- you only track personal data obviously required for the provided service, like a login cookie or a shopping cart cookie. (Implied Consent)
The "I still don't care about Cookies" extension does not, no.
This extension can do that: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/
However, since many webpages have illegally made it so refusing consent is more difficult than giving 'consent', that extension is significantly more complex and in my experience doesn't work as reliably, unfortunately.
The EU is an important market for many websites, so yeah, that is usually what happens.
Yeah, either of the nation or your nation may have data protection officers for individual states/regions.
Well, consent is non-negotiable. I understood the comic as depicting a consenting couple.
As for power dynamics, I'm certainly not on board with her having communicated, she had an emergency. That is just disrespectful. But that one looks bad on both genders.
The existence of power dynamics in a relationship in general always looks bad, for both sides, in my opinion.
I agree that it would look quite different with the genders reversed. However, gender equality is not like mathematical equality, where every situation needs to be reversible.
Women have traditionally been less sex-positive and less dominant, which many consider indicators of a lack of true gender equality, so a progressive community will celebrate a reversal of that.
Yeah, I meant it as an example, where I was still granted relatively luxurious conditions, but even those already caused me to compromise on variable names.
I'd say, 95% of my lines of code do fit into 120 characters easily. It's those 5% that pained me.
I've already felt like I should choose shorter names in a (shitty) project where the customer asked us to use an auto-formatter and a max line-width of 120 characters.
Because ultimately, I choose expressive variable names for readability. But an auto-formatter gladly fucks up your readability, breaking your line at some random ass point, unless your line does not need to be broken up.
And so you start negotiating whether you really need certain information in a variable name for the price of badly broken lines.
Well, you can install both of these add-ons via this workaround: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/
(I have used both. Both work. Although, again, I'd rather recommend I Still Don't Care About Cookies + Cookie Auto-Delete.)
However, Mozilla plans to make much more extensions available for Android soon, so you might see these regularly available before the end of the year. This is what we know for now: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2023/08/10/prepare-your-firefox-desktop-extension-for-the-upcoming-android-release/
