Need a knife? in c/[email protected]

This is missing a few very well known brands like Zwilling J. A. Henckels, Wüsthof and WMF.

Git, invented in 2005. Programmers on 2004: in c/[email protected]

Game developers often use Perforce instead of Git. Maybe it was that?

Can I see a user's total upvotes and downvotes? in c/[email protected]

I consider the fact that karma farming isn't a thing on Lemmy a massive improvement over Reddit.

EU OS in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Windows is one size fits all as well. What is the benefit of having a custom distro for every EU country? I think that would only increase friction between the member states systems and make learning from each other more difficult. Having one deployment target instead of 27 would make software procurement easier as well.

Any good options for Strava? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I like Komoot but it is targeted more at people who like to explore and use it as a navigation app. There are no top lists to compare your times for a specific hill climb for example.

Oh look, the thing that always happens with closed source applications happened again.

What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? March 11 in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I just finished Blood Meridian and now started The Cheese and the Worms by Carlo Ginzburg. It's about the beliefs of a medieval Italian miller who was burned at the stake by the inquisition.

Debit Mastercard is pretty much the only game in town around here.

Is Canada joining the EU? Brussels hails ‘like-minded partners’ amid trade war with US in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I think full membership is very unlikely, but maybe Canada can join the EU Customs Union or even the Schengen Area at some point in the future.

European table top RPGs? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I like the Swedish Horror RPG Kult: Divinity Lost.

The World of Darkness RPGs are strictly speaking also European since they are owned by Paradox Interactive.

This video discusses how you getting mad at Andrew Tate, Jake Paul and other such characters is playing right into their hand. There are some controversial takes in there but overall I liked the message.

noyb WIN: Dutch authority fines Netflix €4.75 Million (noyb.eu)

The Dutch data protection authority (DPA) has issued a decision and is imposing a fine of €4.75 million against Netflix because it failed to adequately inform customers about what it does with their data. Netflix has already objected to the fine, but hasn’t yet appealed the decision as a whole.

It was merged after they where rightfully ridiculed by the community.

The awful response to the backlash by matwojo really takes the cake:

I've learned today that you are sensitive to ensuring human readability over any concerns in regard to AI consumption

BeReal: The app that won’t take no for an answer (noyb.eu)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

2 comments fedilink

Today, noyb has filed a complaint against the social media platform BeReal over the latest “dark pattern” to get consent. When people open the app, they are confronted with a pop-up asking them to say “yes” or “no” to the use of their personal data for advertising purposes. [...] if users click “accept”, they will never see the consent banner again. If they dare to click “reject”, however, the banner will appear every day – until the end of your days.

If you don't know them noyb is a NGO to enforce data protection laws in the EU they are pretty cool.

Incredible, the last two months absolutely crushed on the first day of December and all it took was a single desktop notification. This is just the paypal donations as well. You can take a look at the data for yourself here.
