GDPR is reasonable, maybe too weak regulation of big businesses with lots of data. The problem is that it applies to small organisations, even non-profits, that do not trade that information which is proportionately a much bigger burden. Re

Read the last paragraph it calls on the shareholders to push back on Mark Zuckerberg. He owns most of the voting rights so its effectively calling on him to push back on himself.

Its not part of the OS so why would it affect the Graphene OS license? Its an app, not a library.

They will only do so if forced to by regulators, and so far regulators have shown no interest in doing it.

Sometimes, yes. In the case of bankings systems combined with payment systems you could end up reliant on both. If the US sanctions you only people using a Chinese OS to make payments through a Chinese payment system will be unaffected and

Their supporters in the west form alliances with the left. I do not think you can meaningfully fit them in a left vs right classification. There are many groups in the world that take bits from left and right. There are ethno-nationalist c

So the rest of the world has the option of relying on China instead? How is that better?

At the moment Europe is getting more reliant on the US. There are new non-Us payment systems but the end user devices are Apple or Google controlled. Governments and banks are very eager to get rid of cash, to introduce digital ID etc. That

Yes, largely, as long as we have all those choices, including using smaller providers and self-hosting email. The danger is that a small number of businesses will lock others out.

Not true for me. All businesses of any size, and even most small businesses, that email me have their own domain. Individuals use a variety of services, and even one or two non-geeks use their own domains.

I think lesser known TLDs are the problem. I have had a .net domain and used the email address (and its self hosted these days, which has been a problem with sending to hotmail) and have never had it rejected or confuse anyone. ON the other

The cases have been happening for decades. I recall studying one in the early 90s so it probably happened in the 80s. I think the article lacks evidence that anything has changed recently.

In practice AGPL might achieve that. It does allow commercial use, but a lot of big businesses, especially big tech, will not use it. On the other hand it is a clear, OSI approved, FOSS license.

Not the journalists. The "experts" they are interviewing. Edit: I was wrong. The journalists are also part time and work elsewhere: https://www.tarbellcenter.org/team/aisha-down https://www.effort.

> The 1% are mostly religious I think this assertion needs evidence as it seems more probable to me that the rich are anti-religious. In any country where Christianity is the main religion it is a very unattractive belief for the rich (t

That has nothing to with the recent legislation referred to in the article. The principle (which I disagree with BTW) has been part of equality law for decades.

In the UK someone described me as a "mothering" father. i.e. people (and very nice people) struggle with finding the vocabulary to describe men looking after children. its changing slowly but we are very far from society accepting

On the other hand most societies are more tolerant of male promiscuity. You accept its a feature of the modern west. It goes back to at least early modern times when at the very least it was routine for the aristocracy to keep mistresses. T

That is true for a few months. You have children for rather longer than that. Even with breast feeding you can express the milk. I did that. I used to work from home with my younger daughter asleep in a sling. Your child might want the moth

Deadbeat mums definitely exist. I was married to one. A woman who wanted to be a traditional housewife and flat out refused to work gradually did less and less and eventually we divorced leaving me a single dad. I think a broader problem is
