    My favorite thing is when my browser asks if I want to share my location, then I say no, then the website just knows where I am anyway

    meanwhile AliExpress still just rolls a d20 to select my language every time I visit them, then fail to load cause their cookies broke.

    And then there is this piece of garbage site foodnetwork.com. I once wanted to read a recipe there, but the site decided that since I’m in Poland, I should be on foodnetwork.pl. On a frontpage, that is. No way to stay on the English site, and that recipe doesn’t exist on the Polish one.

    You know what I really like? Badly-made automated translations from a language that I’ve been learning for 25 years.

    For real though, I had to set my browser’s language to English so sites like YouTube stop mangling the video titles, like what’s even the point of translating the titles when their content isn’t translated anyway?
