So, to summarize: He's a far-right extremist from abroad. His agenda is to promote the deportation of foreigners from Germany and keeping foreigners out of Germany. The government officials found out about him and grant his wish by banning him - a foreigner - from entering Germany. And now he's mad, because... They did as he told them?

If you’re a resident of Texas, please be aware that watching porn is bad for you, jacking off will make you blind and that you’re a filthy person for coming here. If you’re from the rest of the world, why are you reading this instead of watching porn?

Any chance, that this CEO just got divorced and has no motivation to work and wants you to replace his wife and do his and his wifes tasks?

maid-like tasks as needed

Uhm… so, about that…

Yeah, the meme sounds about right.

"None of your business" (NOYB) is already on it and complained to the data protection authorities.

For context - NOYB is the organization with Max Schrems, the guy who is constantly fighting Meta (and slowly winning)

I remember having a defective hdd in my PC. I brought the pc to the shop, where I bought it from to get it replaced under warranty. They told me they couldn't restore my data (I had backups) and asked if I wanted them to install windows on it. When they asked for my key I was like "FC..." and they responded "ok, we know that one, no need to spell it out" and proceeded with the installation

Don’t forget we’ve put more people into space than have been to the deepest point on the planet.

Fun fact, space is easier. It takes more effort to get there, sure. Coming from the "normal pressure" here on earth (about 1 atm) and going to space (0 atm) is a pressure difference of 1 atm. But: Diving into the ocean, the pressure increases the deeper you go. For every ~10 meters (~33ft) you go deeper, the pressure increases by 1 atm.

That means, that a space ships would only need to dive 10 m deep to get to the pressure difference it experiences in space. They went to see the Titanic which is about 3,800 m deep. So the sub needs to withhold a pressure difference that's about 380 times higher than a space ship experiences.

(OK, little difference I omitted: In space you need to prevent the vehicle from exploding, while in the deep sea you need to prevent it from imploding)

Hey, when your game runs on my PC or console, I am the one paying the electricity bill for your game. Why the fuck do I have to pay for this, when I already bought the game? Isn't it enough, that we gamers invest real money and our time into your game? We want to get paid, too!

Obviously the way to go is to leak them in a forum of an online game so your favorite tank gets implemented in the game...

I’m not sure what to think of this article. I had to read for several paragraphs to get to know, that the problem is neither selling any user data collected by the browser (e.g. text inputs), nor is it the fact that they’re a search engine. It just that they offer an API for search which not only lists the same data as on the website, but offers a longer excerpt/text snippet for each result as it is seen on other search engines for some featured results. Depending on which UI you might want to develop for the results, that’s basically a nice feature as your app can decide which snippets get shown.

And now the problem seems to be that they offer a paid API and these results are a part of it? From data that was crawled by them by (as they’re saying) respecting robots.txt and - in most cases - was public anyways?

Imagine a bug in the ALU when adding two octal values - Octoplussy

Or a bug in a specific Intel generation - Skylakefall

As far as I know, no one tried to clone TikTok for the fediverse. But I think the inherent problem is the algorithm. TikTok isn't like Youtube or any other social network, where you follow people. You have an algorithm that tracks everything you do and watch and then suggests you video based on their topics, less on the people in them. I guess it'd be hard to implement, as many in the fediverse are not keen about tracking.

Fun fact - GDPR is about European persons, not European servers. If an European citizen has a fediverse account on an American/African/Asian/… server and Meta collects all of their data and processes it, they are still in violation of GDPR. Locking European (Instagram) accounts out of Threads doesn’t make them comply magically with GDPR.

Good luck meta, have fun handling all those GDPR requests and proving that Europeans have consented that you suck up all their data…

The GDPR states, that request must be completed within a month. In case you're from Europe, you could report reddit to your local authorities if they don't respond within that time frame. A single report won't probably cause a reaction. But several reports from several individuals on the other hand...

....so nothing really changed for them and they're still doing basically the same things? /s
