This is a provision of the article 6 of the GDPR, which describes very broadly that you have to justify your legitimate interest with a fair reason to process user data. It is mostly there to allow for IT security, fraud prevention, but also marketing.

Unfortunately, the way the regulation is written is quite imprecise and subject to interpretation. You can read this page, it will give you an insight on the possible interpretations:

My understanding is that you have the choice between the following modes :

• Consent = you allow for personalized data collection and ads integration can make use of any tracking information saved in your browser and on the servers of the third party provides
• Legitimate interest = you allow for data collection without personalization, but the provider might still be context aware and provide for example ads based on broad information like your country, language etc
• Nothing = you refuse any processing and connection to a third party server

They’re also in Germany now, as mandated in every EU country, but I don’t have to deal with them because there’s also a heavy culture of reusable glass bottles (Mehrweg Flaschen) distributed in standard reusable crates. Everything has a deposit so you always bring them back when refilling.

I don’t mind them either but get yourself cheap cable pliers and cut the tether when you need to, or pour into a cup instead of drinking from the bottle.

Agreed! Unfortunately these maddening behaviors were kind of set in stone several decades ago, and it has been (correctly) decided “Don’t break the web”, these weird quirks are kept in modern interpreters/compilers.

It’s actually quite interesting to read through the logic to follow when implementing an interpreter:

On the other hand, I don’t think you should add those ever

“teledildonics” is the most glorious word i’ve ever heard :D

my reply was more a comment on Adam’s nickname ^^

Yup, can’t eat the A of an artificial intelligence

I found this, it looks like it’s not really possible because the structure of the two services are pretty different:

Maybe there’s a reason why the comments are off on that vid :D

This was painful to watch, I would have stopped and asked her to continue on foot.

I would play the piano more, read all the science fiction (Azimov, Herbert, HG Wells, Orwell, Bradbury, AC Clarke, UK Le Guin…), play Boardgames & Magic the Gathering with my friends, probably start making content for youtube or twitch, make pastry everyday, do gardening and building projects around the house…

The question is, do I have any budget to do all that, or are my basic needs covered but I can’t choose where to live, what I eat etc?

Honestly, I don’t find any satisfaction in work because I love doing so many things and would rather do one of them for money.

This is Shana, she is turning 16 in 2 months, and she is well! A bit of age-related aching, but we give them what she needs to relieve her old bones. She is very vocal and cuddly, must be at any time near us.

Yup I’m already there but it’s hard to get any traction, im posting stuff into the void, its gonna take a while to get the typical Meta users over there :/

Nothing but by now we got used to switching service whenever it gets bad

Considering they declared all annexed parts of Ukraine being officially part of Russia, the Ukrainian army have been bombing Russia for a while now anyway

As a rule of thumb, I always put action verbs at the end of method names
