Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries.

I have no idea why I am being down-voted.
Just FYI. I downvoted you for the whiny edit.
So now every site has cringe popups that nobody reads or understands, thanks regulators!!
It's not the law that mandates the awful UI of those popups... it's Google. I'm an adwords publisher, on my blog and a couple of (formerly!) popular web-apps. My sites were all compliant with the legislation, but not with Google's policy for adwords publishers. Their algorithm sent me an e-mail threatening to cut off my income unless I implemented one of their "approved" cookie scripts. As any fool knows, it's simply not possible to contact a real human at Google, so I was forced to do as they wished. So now all my sites have pointless, annoying cookie popups.
Everyone hates those popups, but don't blame the legislation - blame Google for forcing the whole Internet into malicious compliance.
It's crazy crazy sort order that I can't stand. They deliberately go in and remove certain characters from the filename, specifically to make the sorting behave weirdly.
They missed my personal favourite:
SHIFT + INSERT ... paste the content of the PRIMARY select buffer (currently selected text).
I fucking love Cory Doctorow
r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.
Made my day.
Malta. You just have to pay a (largish) fee, and they'll have you.
