Uh… Please enlighten me on what DBUS has to do with DNS…

Indeed!

Awesome! I actually downloaded Antenna Pod to compare, but I can’t seem to find this setting, could you point it out to me?

Completely fair, it it however worth mentioning that you can disable this data collection in settings.

This is exactly why I run Linux on all my computers, and run as much open-source software as I can, build my own home server, and set up my own home-automation. It does have a time cost, over convenience, but being able to tailor everything to my needs and wants is a wonderful feeling.

But yes, it would be wonderful if this was a more common mentality in software in general. Especially on mobile devices.

Podcast Addict is not quite as streamlined, but has many more features.

My favorite feature is the “Automatic Rewind” combined with “Incremental rewind”. It adds a rewind everytime you pause and resume an episode that increases the longer the podcast has been paused. It means that if I briefly pause, for example to respond to. Some one in real life talking to me, then it will automatically rewind 5 seconds when I start the podcast again, so I can hear the sentence I was in the middle of in full. But if I leave a podcast alone for a week, then it will rewind 1 minute so I can get fully back into the context of what I was listening to.

Mine is more like:

10 minutes? Oh neat, that sounds like a nice little snack, maybe a new topic to discover?

Half an hour? Oooh, this could get interesting, this could be a pretty good introduction to the topic.

An hour? Nice, someone clearly did some research and isn’t skimping in details! Time to learn something.

Six hours? Holy heck, this topic must be much deeper than I though! This person clearly did some homework and has something to say! Time to get consumed.

Ah, I misunderstood then. I keep hearing Americans praise Jesus, only to turn around and do everything Jesus told people not to do…

But yeah it totally makes sense when you only consider these people who only use the Bible as a tool.

Isn’t Jesus from the new testament?

The GDPR does not in any way disallow Facebook from running ads, regardless of the users consent. But if the user doesn’t consent, Facebook can’t run targeted ads on the user.

You’re absolutely correct… However it will be very interesting to see how this doesn’t violate the GDPR… recital 42 says:

“Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.”

Link with more details: https://gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/

Withdrawing consent in this case causes the detriment of having to either pay or lose access to the service… So this clearly isn’t “freely given” consent.

If that’s the case, you simply installed a heat pump with too little capacity…

Heatpumps come in all sizes… I just looked up one that outputs 50 kW worth of heat, and if that isn’t enough you can integrate up to 16 of them to output a total of 800 kW of heat.

That being said, if your house is badly insulated and drafty, you should fix that first, it will immediately cut your heating bill, no matter which heat source you use.

I read that the ash is actually quite bad for fertilising plants… And it might even hinder the plants growth… I don’t have the source handy, unfortunately…

So if you want to be environmental, your best bet is probably to be composted (only legal en very few places) or buried in a cardboard coffin.

It’s rather important to understand the performance characteristics for people to know what to expect if they want to switch to Linux.

If games ran at half the FPS on Linux as they would have on Windows, then pretty much no one would be gaming on linux.

If you got 90% performance on Linux, only Linux enthusiasts would take the performance hit.

At 100% performance the choice is completely free, people that got fed up with windows could just switch.

When Linux outperforms Windows, this puts us in very interesting territory, as this might even entice a bunch of people to give Linux a try to see whether the switch is worth the performance. I’m personally quite interested in seeing whether this could be the tipping point for Linux on desktop and laptop to really start taking off.

Sure, there’s also the scratch image, which is entirely empty… So if your app is just a single statically linked binary, your entire container contents can be a single binary.

The busybox image is also more barebones than alpine, but still has a couple of basic tools.

Containers can be entirely without anything. Some containers only contain the binary that gets executed. But many containers do contain pretty much a full distribution, but I have yet to see a container with a password hash in its /etc/shadow file…

So while the container has a root account, it doesn’t have any login at all, no password, no ssh key, nothing.

I’m perfectly satisfied with the theory that bender simply is 430.04% or more in total.

Yeah, you’re right, it seems many of these sites are getting a free pass, and reaping she benefits… Eventhough it’s obviously not allowed by the GDPR.

There has already been multiple rulings under the GDPR where pages made it too hard to reject processing of personal data.

Google was forced to change their consent banner to make it easier to decline.

GDPR explicitly says that it must be as easy to decline as it is to accept. Paying €14 per month is not as easy as not paying €14 per month.

Consent is also not “freely given” if paying is the only way to avoid consenting.

It would be wonderful with something more granular than “NSFW”…

I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".

Examples:

• Content Warning: nudity - might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn’t porn, but there’s exposed genitals, butts or breasts.
• Content Warning: porn - you can probably guess…
• Content Warning: gore - images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.
• Content Warning: death - images with people dying, but without gore.
• Content Warning: blood - images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)
• Content Warning: violence - people fighting, but without turning bloody.

These could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.

EDIT: added violence by request
