As someone who actually does have chronic diarrhea and shat their pants just today (yay autoimmune diseases), I agree. “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy” can get fucked, I absolutely do wish this shit (🥁) on them.
At least here in the EU the ePrivacy directive and to a lesser extent the GDPR generally require that cookies have a limited lifetime depending on their function, to eg. prevent companies just attaching a stable identifier to every random passerby essentially forever. @Sunny, if you’re feeling particularly mildly infuriated you could email the German Data Protection Authority, there’s a good chance the cookie could attract the Eye of Sauron
The directive itself is kind of involved because it goes pretty deep into what its aim is and eg. what sort of information can be considers an identifier, and it’s actually quite well argued and worth a read if that sort of thing is your, er, thing: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX… (you need to scoll aaalll the way down to be able to show the body text).

Could be? The hands look slightly different (especially the minute hand which isn’t “solid” in mine) and that one doesn’t have the inner 24h circle on it though, but I have no idea if those differences are significant
I don’t understand why those folks wouldn’t just either publish in a language they speak or get an English-speaking coauthor to help write in English
Major journals are in English, and “just getting an English speaking coauthor” might not be as easy as you make it sound – especially considering that using an LLM to fix grammar is definitely going to be easier and faster
Oh yeah that’s absolutely true, I was thinking more of people who aren’t fluent in English and would like to make their text a bit more natural or fluent, which is what I’ve done
It’s great that this article linked to the original journal article. Nice that it’s open access, too! So good to see that it’s becoming more common. The academic publishing business is just so… well, in a word, fucked.
