They’re upset about EU’s privacy laws?

Good. EU is clearly doing something right.

Sonicare is very good, but I think we can say, that it’s not entirely european. It seems at least China is in the boat too.

At least in Germany, it’s an acceptable substitute for amazon (so far).

Sorry, edited it to my comment.

Edit2: Maybe it’s not mandatory for now. But it looks suspicious to me.

DNA aswell. I was pretty shocked.

i. Biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris;

That’s what I thought. So basically I’m still using 1% Amazon…:(

Left Amazon a while ago, which is a big win.

But for special items, I kept ebay. It’s funny though, that some deliveries from ebay came with an Amazon packaging…

With Wero I hope, I can ditch Paypal soon.

Well done! Rather donate some money to your instance, instead of paying with your data.

But I hope some skilled people take good care of it. Maybe on Codeberg this time.

I will keep my node running for now.

Yeah, that’s right. I guess they’re like “They’ll get court order anyway, so why should we even try to stop 'em”…

Edit: more likely they’re bootlickers of Lord Donald “The Orange” Trump and they probably hope to be in his favor.

Every US based company is pretty much legally obliged to hand over everything, even if they collect data outside of US.

This is nothing new. New is, that this data is now getting abused at large scale.

Yes, thats what I want to see. Can’t wait to kick Paypal out…

Deleted my account a month ago. If I need to read something really important, I do it via libredirect.

Only the fediverse deserves my full attention.

Sooner or later, I see myself forcing my important contacts to use linux. But indirectly, like, if they want to keep messaging me, they need to switch to a trustworthy OS. Of course I’ll have to verify beforehand if they actually use it.

It’s so sad to see people complaining about this new form of social media. “My friends and family are too stupid to use it, so I’m not going to use it as well.”

It seems to be much easier to complain instead of changing the own behaviour and look at it from another perspective.

Edit: words

No one will judge. But we’re actually interested in the opposite direction.

If it’s not going to be used for that, it could still be used as a good paypal alternative.

Let’s say the torrent started with a working DNS and the issue occured some hours later. Maybe the client wants to check for IP-updates then, but won’t find any, because DNS doesn’t work anymore. It will still keep the IP-adresses resolved at the beginning, right? Because then it would make sense, that I saw some working torrents, even though the issue already appeared.

Yeah, did that. Couldn’t DNS-resolve the website because of the issue, but going via direct IP of the “check-website” (found via who.is) made me at least check my IP, which turned out to be the VPN-IP. Torrent-IP-Checking won’t work, because torrents seem to need at least DNS-resolving at the beginning of download.

Yeah, it may be good. Unfortunately unpredictable things can happen…
