Most ISP don't care about it. But there are certain enterprises that know almost nothing about email, they employ "specialized tools" that scan and classify incoming email (read Symantec whatever) and make evereyone's lives harder.

Storage is indeed cheap. Buying it through a service provider not so much.

It almost felt like a cartel. At least for us, the consumers on the desktop side.

I guess I could say that when I was born computers started happening. My, I am so disruptive.

As a user of AirBnB accross Europe I did not make anyone's life worse. This is quite an offense. Are there bad people? Sure. But punish them directly. We already have laws for anti-social acts.

I think there already are laws against these kind of actions. Punish directly the ones that are wrong. The whole planet should not have to suffer because someone made a scandal at 3AM.

That was the whole room for me and my brother when we were growing up. Put there a bed and a closet.

> GDPR the other hand is entirely opt-in.

As an European I don't feel like it's opt-in.

Last I've heard Google is still tracking me left and right.

They probably have enough tracking info they could spot you just by you blinking. But they don't care.

Give or take: it's x10 today.

Learn to make money. There will be a time when you are sick of your co-workers and your boss. Or you just want to spend time with your wife and kids. And you will need money to say "fuck it! I'll take a vacation for the next two years."

I also think a glitch in the launch day counts as 100 glitches on any other day.

GDPR should kick in long before medical data is on the table.

There are small and middle corporations that don't have people brave enough to choose AMD. I know, I worked at two of them. In there, nobody has the time to think about AMD and to swallow and explain eventual issues that might arise.

And frankly I've never seen AMD trying to reach those people.

Go ahead and install Wine x86 on a Gentoo x64. Only then you will understand what it means to support 32 bit apps.

Missing out what?

GDPR as applied is a joke. At one of the places I work they keep talking about "we can't backup this data anymore because it has personal info".

Before non-Linux people jump to conclusions from your reply: Intel GPUs work just as good (if not better) as in Windows. They are the best solution for a non-gaming laptop.

Bad publicity is still publicity, right?

At least in my region (Eastern Europe) the question is: why is it that the smaller companies can't pay a living wage?

It's hard to understand your message, but... ads in VSCode? Is that a thing now?

Well, I meant waste on Amazon side. But I guess all that money is paid by the consumer of those products.

Examples?

For 3000 visitors/month Amazon pays $100? That seems quite a waste.

You cannot hire by not discriminating. It's by default a task that discriminates.

It always seemed "funny" how come executives with more wealth than some cities get to become sexual aggressors.

I live in Eastern Europe so it's a bit like a third world country compared to Germany or Sweden. But let me tell you, it's not like you describe it at all. First of all, you don't get antibiotics just because you think you need antibiotics. And then, there's the private sector which has normal prices. And they treat you like a VIP.

Let's not forget that this law is for people with money. Most common people will not have enough resources to compel anyone the size of Google.

I always thought of Gnome as a Redhat product.
