Ah yes, the groundbreaking #innovation of enabling #JavaScript and cookies to build agents—because who needs actual progress when you can just toggle a browser setting? 🤦‍♂️ It's 2023, and we're still pretending toggling switches is the pinnacle of technological advancement. 🍪🔧

Dear #Microsoft: do not store personal preferences for your web login screens in #browsercookies. I'm already logged in. Save it with my server-side profile. Otherwise us security-aware people who automatically delete browser cookies after every session will get majorly annoyed. #userexperience
