I’ll say it again, we have to start pushing in the opposite direction. Some examples:

• Make it a basic right to not have any data about you collected unless strictly necessary for the service delivered.
• Forbid data brokers and any other attempts to combine data from different sources.
• Criminalize data leaks. Financial or medical malpractice can land people in prison or cause them to lose jobs. So should privacy/data malpractice. Note: negligence is a form of malpractice. It should not be possible to get away with a slap on the wrist kind of fine after a major data breach.
• Use the most extreme examples and statistics. Cambridge analytica was at the basis of a major attack on democracy using data from Facebook etc. Both Facebook, Cambridge analytica and benefitting parties should be held accountable in such a case.

One more: criminalize data brokers, make it hard to combine data from different sources, make it impossible for one single entity to have access to all your data and create a complete picture of your life.

They really keep trying to ratchet further and further to taking full control over what should be private, with all the negative consequences it has for democracy.

We should push ratcheting in the opposite direction. Start with various levels of crazy and sensible ideas. Make privacy a human right anchored in law with no exceptions, it should not even be possible to propose laws that weaken privacy. Make it a punishable crime to come even close to violaring privacy, put the CEOs and people making the technical implementations in jail. And require encryption to the point that if data is leaked, the data hoster is guilty if the data is readable. If any data is leaked, then the data of the leaker becomes public property. Etc.

If they can go crazy with the proposals to remove any semblance of privacy, then backtrack a little, but not completely, when there’s opposition, then so can we.

Same for me. There’s still the occasional really good video, but there’s too many that are basically ads for some big tech thing

They have those… Currently limited to the web app

It’s funny to see the three top teams and Verstappen

24 point difference right now, up to 58 points left to earn. I agree Norris has to fumble, but it’s not unforseeable that Max wins.

1 DNF from Norris and it’s likely over. Alternatively, Max wins everything, Norris gets a 3rd and a 4th place in the main races and 2nd in the sprint (or another combination where Norris isn’t 2nd or 1st each race). Both scenarios are unlikely to happen, but not exactly a long shot either.

Does pole position still give a point? Those could really make a difference in these last races.

Less than a GB per day on average for me, don’t use it most of the time, mostly for watching content abroad

Others have given plenty of good reasons. But on top of that they’ll make money from all the people paying for the subscription but currently not using it, like any subscription service does. Most users won’t use their vpn 100% of the time

100W idle is a lot imo. That’s about €0.50 per day where I live -> more than €150 per year in power consumption. To be fair, you’re running quite a lot of things at the same time.

Ik verwacht dat de VVD zo lang mogelijk z’n best gaat doen om het hele proces te frustreren, ze geven alleen om zichzelf en snel voor stabiliteit zorgen boeit ze waarschijnlijk geen bal. Waarschijnlijk hopen ze een meerderheid te halen met JA21 en een kleine andere partij, misschien BBB of SGP…

The poster calls it a forklift for some reason, the ad doesn’t, it just mentions the model of the machine

Niet zo verrassend wel jammer. Het was al de verwachting met het vertrek van Rutte die veel EU-ervaring had, maar deze partijen hebben het wel heel bond gemaakt. Gelukkig waren ze dan wel weer zo incompetent dat ze niet veel actief hebben kunnen slopen.

I’m not sure if pickled is the right description, it for sure doesn’t give the right impression. It’s more like a salted or cured product and relatively fresh. It has nothing to do with the pickled sour herring in jars which can be conserved for a long time.

Pepperridge farm remembers

Wasn’t this a few weeks ago?

Still curious to see where this goes

I don’t see any bad ideas in that picture, at worst your rabbits get a lightly smoked dinner

My experience is that all the things software you listed works on Linux Mint. Both the operating system and the programs were easy to install. With the exception of Proton Drive. There is no Linux version afaik and the third party software I tried did not fully sync everything. I’m still looking for a solution.

Not just populating with content, but also create revenue in some way. Otherwise creators won’t post their content there, they have to make a living from whatever platforms they’re on after all
