I don't see how that's relevant? Regulation might have limited some innovation in tech, but gdpr does not affect any of the dying industries. That's more from competition with china, companies with too much interest in giving

I think you might have misread the graphs as they clearly support the title. There are two types One type (e.g. chart 1 and 4) showing the holdings by governments and central banks, which are clearly falling. The other shows holdings by for

Why would it not be private? Yes data is sent to the servers but the trust that you must have that they don't keep the data is not different from the trust you must have in your password manager or encrypted email or backup storage pro

I don't understand this negativity. It seems to be a fully optional separate service. No one is losing anything.

Well "Europe" doesn't meddle in the Netherlands. The Netherlands are part of the EU and the Dutch government has to agree with every single important EU decision for it to be adopted. So when there's "meddling&quot

EU has two main legal instruments, regulations and directives. One applies directly, the other needs to be transposed into national law which indeed often ends with gold plating, but the tool is there to give uniform legislation- if all cou

It seems the nuance here would be between association agreement and an associate member which presumably is more integrated. E.g. EU candidate countries are joining many technical meetings and are invited to listen in to some Council meetin

It seems every country in the world has such regimes, either publicly or in the background. You can bet no Chinese or Russian system comes without backdoors, plenty of US systems have been revealed to have backdoors, etc. I disagree with th

This requires likely an alignment of trade and product standards, so could still be demanding legally to get over the line. But the foundations are similar. Maybe Canada could just join EFTA, that would be easier.

Even more striking there were some bow and arrow fights again just a few months ago. I would presume they have never stopped, just rarely make the news. https://youtube.com/shorts/91moJcyiS00?si=EYzspw-B7y_J77Os

In fact there could be a direct link - the less reactive cultures were quickly subjugated by the colonialist cultures with advanced tech. Or the cultures that learned to strike back hard rather than welcome/integrate foreigners (see th

While I like to improvise I'd never want to use a cut-off cable anywhere near a toddler. Whatever the savings or practical benefits, they just can't outweigh the risk of the toddler doing something that causes a shock, fire, ... M

You destroyed the drives by using an incompatible cable (I.e. clear user error) and they still sent you (upgraded) replacements? That is unusual.

And i as an average European just want to say - we feel with you and all the others that are suffering through this. I don't know either what I could or would do if my own government went this route. I hope your institutions and the pe

That pixel seems to just gather standard data one might want to optimise the site display. I think display port size or http/s choice is hardly personal data. Yes such info can be used to track people, but only if you have the database

I switched to migadu which was not too painful for a single account (basically the advice was to put both accounts in thunderbird and then move everything over, thunderbird does the work). For email very happy with the provider, notably als

Wow, indeed rare that hacks result in real-life visits, and here even specifically to pretend-confiscate weapons. That's a well-plannee (or excellently opportunist) coup.

The article ist about a Platform which only facilitates the sale but actual sending is done by the original maker, so that doesn't seem to match.

I think so too and have a funny conunndrum: I frequently get emails from some "Relations management" companies that they are including my contacts in a catalogue to sell to clients. I can opt out by clicking a link. So either I cl

So in effect, if you want to be the chivalrous man (which no one forces you to be) you still should choose the roadside side of the pavement.

The problem seems to be that the state has no other way to really identify them differently, also as one of them doesn't exist. An actual identity identifier would have solved this from ever occurring.

And yet the toilet is one of the most connected places in the house. I love this BBC "Thinking Allowed" podcast episode on toilets that makes the point powerfully: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03vgf4m

Indeed, and time also gives plausible deniability.. reacting live means the behaviour is present, evident. Three hours later it is easy to deflect reality and claim it was a misperception.

Wow, crazy things - "shemale porn", "spider fucks venom", and various porn URLs like tushy.com. What the hell did they do to their AI? Is that the training corpus or intended use case?
