but ... how could you possibly verify the age of an email address?
See it with Firefox sometimes on my desktop, though
As implemented, GDPR is a massive waste of time, energy, and money (unless, of course, you are an audit and compliance firm - it has, I suspect, been GREAT for you!)
Do we - as individuals, regional societies, and society at large need better data protection?
Absolutely, YES!
Is GDPR a step in a better direction than no rules?
... maybe?
But when it drives masses of people away from your economy, it is certainly not good for those who have remained in your economy
And that is whether or not they think Covid was planned, leaked, or totally random
Relatively high false-positive rates[0] with the PCR test for Covid, imo, factor into that
That, and not wanting to get stuck in some kind of lockdowns again (the negative benefits of which are still being discussed and debated) ... especially for something which, odds are, you have practically no chance of being exposed to ... and most people are going to say, "why test?"

While the tech was looking at it at my local Apple Store, getting ready to replace the screen under AppleCare, two more cracks appeared
They had it fixed and back to me in a couple days
Even given pay band and benefit differences between the UK and the US ... geez!
If I am doing a project for me, I do not care if others get value out of it :)
Only seen it for ESXi hosts in the enterprise space (and even there ... there was still a [small] local storage for each host)
The About page I have had up there for ... not even sure how many years now covers it quite simply
If you do not want to believe my blog posts are written by me, there is nothing I can do to stop you
Heartily DISagree with others
...And wonder why so many good ones were left out!
heck! I have a couple different accounts on it for different purposes :)
Simple - replacement births are simply not happening
Human life span is approaching its [medically-enhanced] limit
And women, quite frankly, are - in gestalt - not having enough babies to keep population rates growing ad infinitum
There are exceptions to the rule ... but - globally - birth rates are below replacement level.
Birth rates are a tailing indicator, but they are still there.
What "overpopulation"?
Humanity has creted-over, and will be dramatically smaller (globally) in population in the next ~50 years.
China, for example, is projected to drop by ~50% before 2060.
Population shrinkage could be a huge socio-economic problem worldwide, if measures are not taken soon to address it! Countries that employ pyramid schemes to handle older generations' care (a la the US' Social Security) are going to have som major rethinking to do if they plan to keep programs running that were built on the presumption of steady population growth!
Cannot stand the experience on their sites, so I do not go there
- Network?
- CPU?
- RAM?
- Storage IO?
- Specific app(s) on the system?
- Something else?
What OS is it running?
- To "overwhelm" Windows is not always the same as to how to "overwhelm" Linux
- To "overwhelm" via virtualization (or containers) is rarely the same as with a whole device with a single dedicated OS
There are multiple options, so knowing which one it uses could be helpful :)
And it is not "due to ai consumption" - it is due to fewer people being willing to self-sponsor their efforts, and instead relying on aggregation platforms (all of which are for-pay or ad-supported (or both)) to 'get the message out'
If by "information" you mean "something that might be real" ... I might agree with you
If by "information" you mean "something real that you should pay attention to" ... I MUST disagree
