  • Cable Firms to FTC: We Shouldn’t Have to Let Users Cancel Service With a Click

    Jump

  • I’m not sure how the GDPR would apply to a service subscription. While the service is running, the companies have legitimate interest to keep your data, so you can’t have it removed.

  • 'Silent majority' marches against Germany's far-right AfD

  • Sometimes things do go your way

  • Time to write a ‘Known limitations’ section.

  • German consumer protection FTW

    The Fair Consumer Contracts Act will in future introduce a mandatory 2-step termination process […]. Wherever the consumer can conclude a subscription contract against payment, the provider should also give the consumer the opportunity to terminate at the same point. […A] cancellation button should be included on such registration pages for memberships at the first stage (with the wording “Cancel contracts here”). This “first” cancellation button should then lead to a confirmation page on the second level, where the respective user is identified and the consumer can effectively send the cancellation (i.e. with the wording “Cancel now”).

  • EU bans ‘misleading’ environmental claims that rely on offsetting

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t have expected this from the EU. They keep surprising me with not being horrendously incompetent.

  • Canada's five biggest banks make misleading 'sustainable finance' claims: securities complaint

    Jump

  • All “sustainable” and “green” investments are a scam.

  • “It’s not that hard”

    Jump

  • needed to be removed or rewritten

    Literally any developer can tell you that. It doesn’t even matter what codebase we’re talking about. It always needs to be rewritten.

  • Frequent flyer?

  • Germany’s emissions hit 70-year low as it reduces reliance on coal

    Jump

  • If you’re adding the context that basically says “it’s all bogus”, why not adjust the headline accordingly? This makes it seem like Germany actually did something to protect the climate.

  • Paris is saying ‘non’ to a US-style hellscape of supersized cars – and so should the rest of Europe

    Jump

  • Tesla’s 6,800lb (3,080kg) Cybertruck probably won’t be coming to Europe at all, because at that weight, it requires a trucking licence to drive

    The maximum gross weight allowed for a “car“ driver license is 3500kg.

  • You want me to work 60 hours per week for you? Counteroffer: I work 0 hours for you.

  • You forgot to mention that you might get it twice, or thrice, or more, and in different versions.

  • The best part of working in a meat grinder startup were the Linux masters teaching you stuff like

     
        
cat /dev/random > /dev/pty23

    or

     
        
su _otheruser_
chsh -s /bin/false

  • Take that to the privacy of your own home.

  • Thanks for pointing that out.

    In the winter, only 10 percent of the body is exposed, and nearly 2 hours of sun exposure at noon is needed to produce a sufficient amount of vitamin D.

    Source

    I thought less time was required.

  • Take that to the privacy of your own home.

    Jump

  • If only humans could make their own vitamin D. Oh, wait

    The major natural source of vitamin D is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the lower layers of the epidermis of the skin, through a photochemical reaction of UVB light, from the sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation) or UVB lamps.

  • A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school.

    Jump

  • I would like to see people educated how to argue without getting personal. And how to communicate that you aren’t in a mood to argue right now, because you’re angry and wouldn’t listen.

  • Why are Europeans more effective at passing big legislation than the US?

    Jump

  • “yet”.

    I feel like we’re just one or two decades behind on … everything bad in the US.

  • Right to Repair - We beat Apple at their own game - let the unauthorized calibrations BEGIN!

    Jump

  • I can’t believe a company that’s been this shitty to its customers, openly, for literal decades is still in business.

    Thanks for reminding me to never, ever buy Apple.

  • What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?

    Jump

  • I’ll take LibreOffice Writer over MS Word anytime. All that ‘I know better than you,’ ‘You wanted to copy the space, too, right? Even though you stopped marking before it,’ can kiss my ass.
