Schrems II is based on the argument that there is no due process for EU citizens to even check if data collection in the US is legal. That's a constitutional argument, it doesn't help to change laws. Or, well, as "constitutio

How do you think the EU can give in here? They've tried it twice and European courts have decided twice that it's impossible.

For now you could use a nitter instance - for example replace twitter.com with nitter.net, so this submission becomes https://nitter.net/pmzakrzewski/status/1494967388428804103

Why shouldn't it be? Rule of law basically means laws apply to everyone the same.

They could also report this behavior to the appropriate regulators and let them handle the enforcement. Maybe they'll take their time, but they will get there. In the end this is not a technical problem but a juristical one.

I'd expect you'd still create an empty repo (same as in the web UI) and then push the branches you want to push. You don't configure a branch name in the web ui as well. But that's why I'm asking where OP found that

I just created a new repo with just a master branch. Where does Github force anything? They're sure suggesting it - their suggested commands to initialize a new repo will create a main branch. But you can just ignore that suggestion?

I think the interesting thing is that Facebook seems to finally begin to take SchremsII seriously. It is a sword of Damocles hanging over all US companies doing business in the EU and it is something that needs to be solved by the US side,

I remember this discussion coming up at least once before. AFAIR the argument was that many people had problems interpreting the test strips (not waiting long enough, mixing the results up). So they built a more foolproof way of reading the

Ads are a legal risk as the degree of separation required between content and advertisement is surely dependent on the jurisdiction. For example some youtube influencers lost a court case in Germany because they didn't make that clear

You'd probably need all of the 10 days to fight through all of their supplier management forms, answer pointless questions about security certifications, people involved and if you do business with iran.

Do you have any substance to your allegation of Microsoft hiding behind their pricing model? This is very straight forward from their view, before: almost no traffic = almost no costs, now: huge traffic = $$$. On the other hand, it doesn&#x

I'm running Arch on my home laptop and my server. Had one breakage in ~5 years where sshd wouldn't start anymore because they deprecated and then removed a config option. What do you do that regularly breaks?
