The GDPR isn’t universal. It applies to EU and EEA residents only, it’s an EU regulation. Ukraine isn’t in either. Don’t take it personally, doesn’t apply to me either. Wish it did.

X5 category storm. Nothing to sneeze at, but probably not more than fancy lights tomorrow.

If you’re posting this somewhere that anyone else can see it, then it’s going to get scraped. There no corner of the internet where you can post stuff and expect it to just sit there. People scrape Patreon, people scrape FB and IG, which require logins and can limit who sees what. People scrape the fediverse. Short of a Whatsapp or Signal group with like 10 people, it’s going to get scraped.

I suggest you find a balance with what you want to share and who is going to see it. Ask yourself why others want to see what you share, and why you feel they want to see it, then understand you have to take the risk of loss of privacy with anything you post. As others have said, if you don’t want it online, then it should never be typed in the first place.

You’re correct that no one cares about 1) users, 2) the GDPR, 3) the prospect of €5 million fines 10 years from now under the GDPR. If there’s any way around that, such as you not being physically in the EU when sending this email, or the company not being based in the EU, then it’s an excuse for everyone not to care. Truthfully, the Irish DPC is correct - you and this company are not subject to EU laws any more than had the President of Mexico sending this email. GDPR will not help you until you cross the border into Poland to send the email.

In case it helps, I went through the list of US data brokers, one by one removing my spouse and me from their lists. A lot of time it came down to the same thing, blast emailing support@whatever.com and making the request. 2-6 weeks later, I might get a response. Many required going back over and over to jump through hoops. I still have no guarantee the data is deleted, and in many cases it’s not deleted but just “not published.”

This is why all users, all people online who care about privacy, must maintain proactive defense of their data. There are no data police to lock up the bad guys. Once your data is gone its gone for good. It must be protected before it’s lost, not after.

Y’all, please remember that the Tesla Board only offered to pay Elon $1T if he made it the most successful car company in the history of the planet.

This is the only accurate take in the whole thread.

Passkeys solve “well, can’t be fished” by introducing 2 new problems and never resolving super prevalent session hijacking. Even as a basic cost-benefit analysis, it’s a net loss to literally everyone.

Do it for your own motivations. Thoughts you want to share with the ether are fine things. If the audience is what validates you, consider maybe a narrow focus forum that is a community of like-mined people.

Functionally, no. It’s like the no tracker request in browsers - only the stupid ones would honor that.

Same. Even by RotJ, other than final boss bad guy lightning, it wasnt that over powered. The prequals ruined it all.

“Luke, you turned off your targeting computer. What’s wrong?”

“Yeah, bro, I’m just gonna like, bring this bitch in on vibes, man. Knowwaimean? Lololol”

Says some incel cosplaying a dusty old wanker that thought both David Bowie and Elton John were cool AF.

This is a wonderful idea.

Off hand, I would agree with understanding file navigation. I would suggest you make a sort of capture the flag treasure hunt. First round, find the file. Second round, move the file. Third round, rename the file.

Installing and uninstalling apps, including looking at reviews online to see what app is best for drawing, for example. Say the challenge is you can only install 2 apps and can only keep one.

Hour to add and delete bookmarks from the browser.

Good luck with this!

Sure, you bet. 100% guarantee.

People did notice it wasnt AI. It was good.

It’s also the likely conclusion from reading their post history.

Oh, are they the stocks that “funded” the whole AMD, NVIDIA, OpenAI a while back?

I’m fixin’ to here in a minute. Spam musubi is one of my very guilty pleasures.

FFS, Boomers and Millennials are responsible for most of these. Grandma on the iPad installing all the apps is why we normalized 19 million apps.

Yoooo, does anyone make a spam pineapple cheesesteak? Asking for a friend that is also me that would destroy that.

No adult fantasizes about having another boss that spies on you 24/7.
