Which sovereign countries, do you think, would have implemented something like the GDPR if the EU Parliament did not exist?

Assuming you see the GDPR - the right to control personal information - as a good thing, as I do.

Pretty much only Lemmy. I like and prefer the form of post which can be media or weblink with description or just text and text is unlimited, with threaded comments for discussions and comments, and thematic categorization (in communities).

Occasionally, I open https://loops.video/ or some other random platform. That's nothin regular, though.

I have accounts on multiple instances, which is another layer of thematic separation. Community spread and content duplication is a downside, but also a technical consequence of the design.

Union, der Wegbereiter für die AfD, und Zerstörer unserer Demokratie und Grundgesetze. Grässlich.

Das lässt mich direkt an russische Einflussnahme und Provokateure denken.

IT-Sicherheitsfirma warnt: Empfänger sollen keine Links in Phishing-Mails anklicken

Erstmal als Phishing erkennen, haha 🪦

They’re not lazy, they’re maliciously compliant.

Often times they're not even compliant.

Perplexity argues that a platform’s inability to differentiate between helpful AI assistants and harmful bots causes misclassification of legitimate web traffic.

So, I assume Perplexity uses appropriate identifiable user-agent headers, to allow hosters to decide whether to serve them one way or another?

AMD is part of the forum but can't get them to accept their own open source driver. I guess we can't complain or shame all of them in one. I wonder who voted reject vs accept.

Sad.

The company says it is now developing an “advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified.” This installation flow will include safeguards to protect people who are being coerced into installing a dangerous app, or tricked by a scammer, along with “clear warnings to ensure users fully understand the risks involved.”

IIRC we already had to enable a setting and confirm a warning popup. What are they gonna do? Add more popups? A captcha-"puzzle"? Less easy to accept dialogs?

The real highlight is the contradictory text.

To continue, turn off your VPN/Proxy. This will allow YouTube to locate the best content".

"We refuse to serve you anything other than the best 'located content'."

A fat lie. Combining refusal with the completely unrelated supposed service improvement of location-based content. To disingenuously sound like they're doing you a service.

Looks like I'm not reading their article.

Consent dialog is not conforming law.

And man, even if you go into the settings of the consent dialog, I hate these kinds of misleading toggles. Which option do you think is active?

Ironic.

Irre. Die eine Beamtin ist überzeugt was in Zukunft passieren wird, die andere sieht Rechtsfehler in einem abgeschlossenen Verfahren. Beide meinen sie sind nicht an ein Gerichtsurteil gebunden. Und untergraben damit die Justiz und den Rechtsstaat.

Wenn das so stimmt ist das völlig ungeeignet für Beamte. Hoffentlich klappt das mit direkten Konsequenzen.

Das absurde ist dass hier ein CDU Politiker über einen von der CDU mitgetragenen und vorangetriebenen Ausstieg spricht. In der stilistischen Formulierung und mit "grüne Energiepolitik", und dem sonstigen Grüne Bashing von der CDU und CSU zur Zeit, ist das aber schnell auch ein Angriff auf die Grünen und lässt völlig außen vor dass das die eigene Partei durchgezogen hat.

Grässlich.

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse. His fund rose a whopping 489 percent when the market did subsequently fall apart in 2008.

We may have to wait for another three years.

I looked into the article to find out how long a timeframe he is betting. Unfortunately, it does not say.

In about:config. Not very obvious or user-friendly tbh.

You're arguing for a democracy without a Justice system?

An independent Justice system is fundamental to a working, healthy democracy.

Just look around to where and how Justice system is weakened by political parties and it's always developing into autocracy and oppression.

They link to it in the article, but for visibility, the resignation of Japanese SUMO community lead, contributor of 20 years. They voice their concrete issues.

The email footer is the ultimate irony and disrespect.

Wenn selbst Gerichtsurteile "kein Auftrag" sind dann sowieso auch nichts anderes.
