i3* does that. You specify a set of workspaces and their screens. Personally I go a step further and set programs to specific workspaces as well. This works really nice with a docked/undocked setup. When the additional monitors are dis

Full disclosure, I have some rather strong feelings about telemetry on gitlab and the implementation process itself. ----------------------- I originally posted a different issue labeled "Pseudonymization MVC Rollout Plan"[1] but

As a counter point to this. Facebook has (tried and mostly succeeded) to replace community forums that used to be either public or with open registration and without the negative effects of facebook. Stuff that's running phpbb or other

the way it should be done is not just crossing it out. You also add the signatures of both sides to the redaction. One copy stays with you, the other with the employer. In digital terms, it's easier just to amend the whole file.

Someone linked "little brother" in another thread, which is a fiction novel of a very similar situation. I found it a good read sprinkled with realistic descriptions of the tech & countermeasures. https://www.gutenb

it could work with google cloud providing oauth and the phone verifying it's the same account.

Thank you, I've even used this functionality some years ago but didn't remember it existed. I've since de-googled my phone and sacrificed some apps that require google services, but this whole thing shows (to me) that it was

I think the real question is what mechanism allows them to push a random app to some phones? google play services is actively listening for remote installation requests? that's essentially a remote-code-execution backdoor to all androi

data needs to be provided in a machine readable format. From there, a specific parser/converter needs to be built by the competing service for imports.

not sure if you want to say that such a session cookie would require consent or not, but just to make it clear, it definitely doesn't. See 3.2 in data protection working party recommendations: https://ec.europa.eu/justi

If i can delete the cookie and nothing goes visibly wrong, it's obviously not needed. Same with blocking a script that sets such a cookie. Most cookies are not needed for providing a service. edit: see the article 29 data protection wo

it has a small price so it becomes difficult/cost-prohibitive to use for nastier purposes. ex, in my country forest owners get spammed and targeted by forest-management companies that want to cut it down.

It's usually a good hint that it really isn't a legitimate intrest case if they allow you to turn it off. A legitimate intrest does not require an opt in (or an opt out). Consent does. If the page mixes those two up they're e

It doesn't have to have an effect to everyone, it's about taking responsibility and actually defining what they're doing. Once we have everyone actually publishing what they're doing it's a lot simpler to file compl

GDPR deals with identifiers that can tie data to a single individual. Cookie IDs are just one way of doing that, true. That's why GDPR is so powerful and a well thought out regulation. Replace the technology completely, but GDPR still

it takes a lot of time for regulators to catch up with all the shenanigans the bigger offenders are pulling. But, it does give internal employees the tools to fix it in smaller companies, or smaller companies that use the services of these

yes, that is a good clarification. Probably shouldn't have tacked on the "not a company" bit. A person without a company can act outside of the personal bounds.

I completely agree, if you're acting outside of personal bounds this does not exclude you. ex, generating profit by selling ads, which gets taxed as income. Probably shouldn't have tacked on the company bit.

This is one of the things GDPR tries to achive. > To further strengthen the control over his or her own data, where the processing of personal data is carried out by automated means, the data subject should also be allowed to receive per

exactly, this does not require a cookie notice. See here for explanations: https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/dealing-with-customers... Consent is mainly required for cookies that are not technical requirements

log files have a different original purpose. But yes, if you repurpose your log files to track individual users granularly, that processing would be illegal without gathering informed consent first.
