From the article:

"Today's court's decision shows that the consent system used by Google, Amazon, X, Microsoft, deceives hundreds of millions of Europeans. The tech industry has sought to hide its vast data breach behind sham consent popups. Tech companies turned the GDPR into a daily nuisance rather than a shield for people." [Dr Johnny Ryan, Director of Enforce at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties]

Today’s judgement confirms the Belgian Data Protection Authority’s 2022 decision. It applies immediately across Europe.

If you haven't moved already, I recommend Firefox or one of its forks.

I rly like firefox, I have been using for the last two years.

fuck google!

Who can I donate to that is working on making alternative OS accessible on android or iphones?

I know there are alternative OS already out there but they aren't as universally accessible compared to how Linux can run on any PC.

I agree! Its shouldn't be legal to have houses as investments.

Skin of a pig??

Did this actually happen in the show or is it just a meme? Either way it's hilarious!

Neil DeGrasse Tyson has a Phd in astrophysics and he has published a lot of papers. He is a scientist and a science communicator. Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye are not the same.

When is his position up for election? New blood needs to primary this guy

This was a very disturbing read. I'm glad some of the survivors found each and other and are coming out with story, and I hope wierdo gets prison time so he won't be able to do this to anyone else

Let's go Lemmyyyyy!!!!

Thank you for sharing the links! I just signed to one of them.

I am also surprised how much money they were able to raise. I hope they deliver on the things they promised

I really like the app too and I like the improvements they are focusing:

No more need for a secondary mobile app dedicated to live streams

Plus on the fireside fedi interview, a rep from peertube said that they would make these improvements whether or not they hit the fundraising goals but the new funds would help

In Amharic, spoken in Ethiopia, you use the the formal you in formal settings (mostly work or legal related matters) or when speaking to an elderly person. The informal you has variations for women and men but the formal you is gender neutral.

I don't use it much, but from what I understand ATproto used to super expensive to self host but now costs have fallen significantly and other instances outside of the main Bluesky instance have emerged. I think now the problem they have to solve is getting the users (who are something like 99 per cent on the main Bluesky instance) over to the other instances.

I just tried Newpipe to double check, it works fine for me

Harvey Epstein is crazy bad luck for a name.

For me, it depends on the crime and how common or uncommon the name is but still probably not.

If I can share a few books I've really enjoyed:

So Long a Letter (1979) - Mariama Ba

The Old Drift (2019) - Namwali Serpell

Tekusat (ትኩሳት) (1997) - Sebhat Gebre-Egzhiaber

Things Fall Apart (1958) - Chinua Achebe

Patchwork (2011) - Ellen Banda-Aaku

The Wedding of Zein (1966) - Tayeb Salih

As I understand, its an ATproto instance separate from Bluesky. Racially self segregated is a weird phrase and a wrong assumption. You don't to black to join but is a focused on black cultures and communities

I thought this was a fake song they made up for the movie for years before I heard the song playing in real life.

I remember watching the movie for the first time and thinking, "No, this song is way over the top and too much of a satire". Man, was I wrong!

Unless you thinks its ok to sacrifice Syrians and Iranians to placate Trump, I feel like you missed the point of the message
