I follow a guy called Daniel McCarthy on LinkedIn who writes a lot on CLV and that seems to be his take. Even if theoretically you get way more than you pay with subscriptions, the vast majority of people are not power users.

Neat, I’ve created a couple OKF based knowledge bases, this looks like a nice way to work with them.

Is this following the Open Knowledge Format proposed by Google earlier this month or just a name collision?

who knows what's going to happens with yet another leadership change though.

Use any of the other password managers that don't have the poor security history that LP do.

Another UK example, you effectively have very limited rights until you’ve worked for a company for 2 years. Before then they can fire you for any reason they care to.

There's also just so much overwhelmingly bad advice out there that sometimes, stating the obvious real thing is worth doing.

Giving a markdown version of a page seems like an interesting choice instead of just embedding a schema marked up one

Likewise, unique name, is mostly wring about me, thinks I’m a French politician and hallucinates that I’m an actor (my sister is).

The ILM documentary on Disney+ talks about the techniques on that movie, super interesting documentary in general.

Anthropic following the well trodden path of trying to present their product as an entrepreneur’s dream.

Similar to Shopify and all the make money online dropshipping slop they produce.

Yeah, the google maps address thing just overwrites my post code, and some senders in the US don’t appear to pay attention to that.

Performative work. People doing things because other people do or because “that’s the way it’s done”, even when that approach is clearly fucking wrong.

Google Maps have an address API some companies use when filling out addresses for shipments.

Despite my building existing for over 10 years, putting in “flat number, building name” into that system will be rewritten to “house number, building name road” which is an address on a he other side of town (and London ain’t exactly small).

I’ve had multiple orders go missing as a result.

And a good sprinter can make some toast!

> as long as the business model of the largest email vendors rely on us not having it

The model literally can't function if emails are encrypted. They have to be unencrypted for all the ML to run for the inbox to actually be useable.

They performed famously well at FTX.

> Why is it that all of the enforcement effort been so unevenly directed specifically at non-European companies?

Do you have any evidence of that?

> You are replying to a comment complaining about the annoyance for users that the law has created. When will that be fixed?

The law isn’t about fixing an annoyance to users. If you’re annoyed by bad UX, tell your boss to cut that shit out because they’re probably part of the problem too.

What I struggle to understand is you’d rather have your privacy right absolutely derailed just so you have a couple things less to click. Wild.

> People dislike it because they dislike its practical effects, and frankly the EU should take responsibility for that and try to fix it.

What’s to fix?

A business needs a legitimate reason to process personal data, people need to be sufficiently informed about how their data will be processed. These are not impossible obstacles. Anyone who claims otherwise is acting in bad faith because they know that people would not agree to what the business wants to do with their data.

NOYB have raised a complaint on the second one for a publisher in the Nordics.

AFAIK, those are not legally compliant.

What loopholes?

I read it in full years ago and found it quite clear. Which parts did you find to be vague?

> Instead of letting the best product win by consumer choice, they're forcing every messaging product to become mediocre.

Do you really believe products win because they’re the best? I’d strongly argue that monopolistic power and loss-leading VC investment is what drives success.

> Most EU initiatives have damaged everyday UX on the web and in tech.

Are you really trying to suggest that GDPR and PECR are bad pieces of legislation because businesses have decided that they’d prefer to give you a bad UX?

A lot of performance issues are down to MDM software.

That won’t help a PM hit their bonus

> The UK did this already and ML is out of control there: criminals just don't care.

From 18th May:

“A new £30m High Street organised crime unit has been announced by the government after the BBC's year-long investigative reporting into illegal mini-marts, vape shops and barbers.”

Of course, remains to be seen what, if any, impact this ends up having.

> It is odd that they cite customer demand just after people leave Google for DuckDuckGo due to AI enshittification.

You’ll probably find this is extremely limited to whatever circle you find yourself in
