I don't have an issue with year based OS numbering, I lost track of what OS # we were on years back (and don't get me started on the names). But really should be current year, not car year.

How hot is it in Florida? It's so hot that leaving my house causes my Pixel 9 Pro to start lagging.

26??? It's fucking 2025. This is more confusing than the current system!

I'd rather that Apple just end the annual updates. https://mastodon.social/@markgurman/114586924807295547

I'm moving from LibreWolf back to vanilla Firefox. I've had too many issues with LibreWolf that just don't occur with Firefox.

There should be laws against services that require you to email customer support in order to delete your account.

The latest LG Gram Pro line looks like they'd actually make incredible Linux machines except for the fact that they all have numpads and therefore off-center touchpads.

It looks like @wallabag doesn't really support imports from Raindrop, which is what I'd been using until now. Bit of a bummer there.

🍰 Seven years ago today, the #GDPR came into effect ⚖️ But the past years have shown that passing a law is not enough – we need to enforce it too.

We made it our mission to ensure that the fundamental right to #privacy is respected by the private sector.

@noybeu @thibaultmol If you want automatic reminders when you forget to add an alt text, I personally use @PleaseCaptionBot. You just have to follow it and it will send a reply on uncaptioned media, that you can delete by simply liking it.

@noybeu I completely agree with this opinion. Like many other laws, this law has turned into a method of enriching the state budget, while the victims of privacy violations receive an infinitely small percentage of the fines paid by companies. I believe that a fixed minimum fine should be introduced for each violation—for example, 100 euros for a data leak of names and surnames and passport information, 200 euros for names, surnames, passport information, and photographs, and so on. ⏩

@noybeu Additionally, it is necessary to establish a separate magistrate court that would deal exclusively with cases related to privacy violations

FWIW, there's this GDPR enforcement tracker too: https://www.enforcementtracker.com/

@noybeu Wouldn't it be better to just outlaw targeted advertising?
