- Comment on The inside story of Elon Musk’s mass firings of Tesla Supercharger staff 8 hours ago:
Musk, the employees said, was not pleased with Tinucci’s presentation and wanted more layoffs. When she balked, saying deeper cuts would undermine charging-business fundamentals, he responded by firing her and her entire 500-member team.
The dude’s a petulant child. No wonder conservatives fawn over him.

Which is why I said to contact the German DPA

Sure! This page has some general info: gdpr.eu/cookies/
The directive itself is kind of involved because it goes pretty deep into what its aim is and eg. what sort of information can be considers an identifier, and it’s actually quite well argued and worth a read if that sort of thing is your, er, thing: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX… (you need to scoll aaalll the way down to be able to show the body text). I had to deal with this stuff professionally when I was a CTO for a company with some stricter than average privacy requirements due to the field, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much sense the ePrivacy and GDPR directives actually make
- Comment on The Duration Time on this Cookie... 1 week ago:
The EU ePrivacy directive and to a lesser extent the GDPR generally require that cookies have a limited lifetime depending on their function, to eg. prevent companies just attaching a stable identifier to every random passerby essentially forever.

Ah, a fun little joke I can do with the nitroglycerin I definitely don’t have because that would probably be illegal

Same, this was literally amazing. Here’s a LiveScience piece I found that’s a bit more in depth. It had a link to the article, and turns out it’s open access yay

- Comment on The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise 4 weeks ago:
Somebody asking “why is everyone praising it?” isn’t looking for “help”

Growing some bittercups?

I don’t think that’s anthropomorphizing, just an awareness that animals are being literally killed for the research and being respectful of it

Ew, don’t reich-wing tears taste bitter?
- Comment on The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise 4 weeks ago:
Right-wing dickheads definitely are screeching about the show in general, though
- Comment on The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise 4 weeks ago:
Should be pretty obvious that I’ve liked it, but here’s yet another shocker: nobody’s under any obligation to justify why they like something, even if you don’t.
- Comment on The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise 4 weeks ago:
why is everyone praising it?
I know this may come as a shock, but people can have different opinions on things.

It’s wild that it apparently took up quite a chunk of an FV APC’s interior space:
Interesting that the program had to be loaded every time it was switched on, so it didn’t have any permanent storage.

Hey I still get impressed by smartphones and I’ve had one for almost 20 years now. I also remember when the emscripten LLVM-to-asm.js compiler came out which was one thing that allowed people to compile pretty surprising things for browsers, and I definitely still get impressed by the fact that we can emulate old systems in our web browsers which were absolutely not intended for that.

Ha, that’s interesting. You’ve been a part of the history of computing in some sense.

- Comment on Use TikTok to combat misinformation, MPs tell government 4 weeks ago:
The problem with this plan is that misinformation is much easier to produce and spreads faster because it doesn’t have to have even a passing resemblance to reality. You’re not going to be able to counter people spewing emotionally charged bullshit.
Well, that’s one of the problems anyhow…
