Why, I have a good view from here :) And I can take great photos of scenery, now I do understand what the photos are showing is not something that everyone would love but still, those are photos, you can shoot the one making them but the sc

Take this as a positive criticism, I dont want to put you down, but today everyone is considering backup as problem of moving data. Which is wrong. This is far from what I would expect from backup tool. You have many targets but than this i

It is nice that you think that but actually startups have the least amount of problems regarding GDPR. You can start coding with GDPR in mind (privacy by design) and you will hardly have a lot of problems. Big companies have huge codebases

Just to back it up, I have missed this in news, Max Schrems already tryed (with class action of 25000 FB users), but had no legislation to back it up, with GDPR he got the green light: https://www.politico.eu/article/fa

Rather read this: GDPR, Article 4: ‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifi

This action directly violates GDPR, the consent is not freely given and as such not valid. Trackwall is not acceptible, that's why "freely given" is written in Article 7.4. Bottom line, even if you give them consent in such f

I am old guy... I still remember times when there were ads but no one was tracking you. And everything was still free. I dont agree with the article, the ads ARE ethnical, but tracking user is not. I wonder how those two guys would feel if

The problem is that you don't understand GDPR. Please watch first few minutes of this: https://youtu.be/-stjktAu-7k?t=399 (or even whole, it explains a lot of things)

P2P chat is not something new and not something hard to do and based on old concepts of decentrialization it can be done with dispersed "central" servers. Telegram decided that they will route their traffic over central servers du

Visual Studio. By far best editor, JetBrains just copied the Visual Studio concept, and they still rocks on any non-visual-studio supported (by plugins or by default) programming language.

I was repeating this to people (typically I was downvoted, the same way I will be now), but the hype is just too huge. People need superheroes, in comics and in real life, they need to depend on some preacher, that will show them illusion o

I will just kill the email address. Due to the tracking on internet I am using a customized email address for each site where I register to (for example sha1(news.ycombinator.com-secret)@mydomain.com) while my personal address is never used

The whois record was highly annoying I and i was getting spam at given email address (which was never posted anywhere else). I dont care what ICANN thinks about whois, it is annoying and it is great if it will go away.

I beg to disagree. GDPR doesnt stop the tracking but forces the one doing the tracking to get your opt-in, FREELY given consent for each and every use of private data. And if you require consent, this is then not freely given and in such ca

At the begining of the year there was a huge roar about the GDPR. Now it finally becomes more understandable by everyone why EU has created it. And quite frankly, rest of the world will need to start pushing for the same or even harsher leg

Just check kernel32.dll, it was CLEAN for years, now there are references to .net framework and it is becoming a mess. Believe me, Windows are becoming a mess, I never liked linux (actually I hated it) but the directions that Windows are ta

With apologism you are only hurting Linux. With criticism you would be helping it, but looks like that the football match mentality is winning at the end. Have a nice PR session, i am quitting, have it your way. You won. How cool, right? Ri

I dont care about the "model". I only care about code quality and stability on critical tasks. And currently the distributions are becoming more and more chaotic, I think this will bite back, you can try and use some whatever the

For desktop, I use opensuse (just clarification, to avoid holly wars here). I have migrated my servers to FreeBSD not due to problems with kernel, but due to everything else, the distributions are really doing horrible job maintaining users
