yeah small companies are scared of it so they all use that cookie notice. i am from slovenia and i reported a few of those websites that literally steal your personal info off a linkedin and sell it in a “business yellow pages” or something. i got so many scam or spam phonecalls selling me all sort of stupid services, practically daily for a while. i reported it to our GDRP inspector or whatever they’re called, some sort of representative to EU’s inspector and they said there is nothing they can do.

i didn’t do quite the full procedure. you’re supposed to send the company a snail mail notice first and then after a month if they don’t comply you’re supposed to fill out some official forms. I just emailed them and complained that i can’t even find their registered addresses.

perhaps if i’d done the whole procedure, they could’ve purse it further but i doubt it since those are companies registered in all sorts of tax havens, like panama or curacao. how is slovenian authority or EU one going to purse some fake company from panama?

and then you have big conglomerates like facebook or twitter who literally rather pay a few million fine and sell data to advertisers than comply and make zero with it or even lose money with compliance.

that sounds great in theory but a) noone respects this and b) noone enforces this

i know because i reported a bunch of companies and websites and every time i got a reply “welp, there’s nothing we can do”

GDRP is useless

“i don’t even like my kids”

good, now we can finally indebt 8 year olds too not just college students. they had it too good for too long

–trump, probably

he doesn’t care about court orders, why doesn’t anyone think he cares about someone’s approval

who the fuck still thinks it wasn’t …

I never got the appeal of plex. I’ve been using Serviio back in the day and it was free, open source and did what I needed it to, which is play a video on tv, that’s it.

Plex wanted me to purchase subscription years ago and I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out how to set it up for free.

I’ve been using stremio for a few years now but i think it’s closing in on the EOL as well, so i might go back to serviio and kodi one of these days. Just need a good NAS that could run a streaming server as well. Don’t want to keep my gaming rig on at all times just to watch movies.

Keep whining Orban, your days are numbered! You will lose the next election and you will face justice you fucking ugly fat cunt.

there was a petition on reddit a few days ago, it got 16k signatures … 16 fucking k in a country of 350 million!

meanwhile, there was 800.000 people on the streets of belgrade a couple of days ago, 4 months after the protests began still going stronger and stronger

americans don’t know shit about protesting

Should submitters upload thumbnails or will it fetch one automatically ?

Facts, it’s already happening when most of the perfectly fine comments are collapsed in any interesting topic. Like yesterday when twitter was down. Every comment under the top level memes were collapsed so you have to click the + in front of it and get bored quickly and just give up. Same today with Musk post about being all weird about his empire.

nothing to see here move along type of thing

ok thanks . by linked i meant this fediverse thing. I was reading here on reddit

Here is the catch, users from each server can interact with one another. So users who created their account in lemmy.world can comment in the subs of lemmy.ml aka the other server.

Now, when it comes to the last point, this is only possible if the two servers admins agree to do so. This is called federation

Hot damn, i am also not an economist, I had to read that article 3 times just to grasps what Yanis is trying to say.

So in essence, when Trump and Musk said, brace for recession, it will have to be bad before it gets good, this article confirms it.

Trump wants to devalue the dollar to boost exports and thus strengthen the domestic production?

This i don’t understand though:

This is what his critics do not understand. They mistakenly think that he thinks that his tariffs will reduce America’s trade deficit on their own. He knows they will not. Their utility comes from their capacity to shock foreign central bankers into reducing domestic interest rates. Consequently, the euro, the yen and the renminbi will soften relative to the dollar. This will cancel out the price hikes of goods imported into the US, and leave the prices American consumers pay unaffected. The tariffed countries will be in effect paying for Trump’s tariffs.

So foreign currencies will also soften relative to the dollar? How can all currencies devalue at the same time? Is he trying to create world wide recession ?

If someone could ELI5 for us, that’d be great.

Another thing I’d like to mention, I respect Yanis a lot but Trump has never given us any indication he indeed thinks and understands economics on this level. Maybe he treats us all as dumbasses and dumbs it down for us but the truth is, he has never spoken in terms that would indicate he understands economy at this level. So he’s either getting muppetered by others or Yanis is giving him too much credit.

Make a bot that listens to those and posts them here.

Remember kids, only nazis support nazis.

So every lemmy instance is separate?

For instance, I’m on lemmy.world now, reading nba community. If those mods go nuclear and someone creates another nba community elsewhere, will I see those posts on lemmy.world?

edit: i get it now … it’s a different server with different community, but they can be “linked” and you can subscribe to communities from different servers from your own server and you can also comment on different servers too from your own little world

i have more questions though … how do all these decentralized servers find each other and share information between instances? is it blockchain based? or is there a central server somewhere orchestrating it all ?
