Big fail. That has grenadine in it, which is non-alcoholic.

So, how do you make a TS? I’m guessing it starts with breaking an egg.

And quartz, of course.

“Instance” is programmer lingo. Roughly, it’s when you have the same piece of code running multiple times with different values (as part of the same system). More narrowly, “instance” is used in the context of classes. All lemmy instances run the lemmy code but with different users, admins, and so on. The expression makes perfect sense, but it is not used in a formal way.

A lemmy instance runs a web server. Wikipedia says that when you host a web page under a dedicated domain name, you have a website.

Heavy stuff. I’m sure much of it will become real, maybe even some of the very stupid stuff.

Hard to believe that Europe can benefit from America’s mistakes. I don’t see Europe on the way to make the necessary changes. We’ll see how the GDPR reform goes.

Instead of being silly, why don’t you just correct your disinformation and be done with it? Why these games?

so you think that an automated account like, say “no-reply@amazon.com”, is somehow personal data?

No. I don’t know why you would believe that.

Only few search engines index the Web at scale. Third parties who want to develop downstream applications based on web search fully depend on the terms and conditions of the few vendors. The public availability of the large-scale Common Crawl does not alleviate the situation, as it is often cheaper to crawl and index only a smaller collection focused on a downstream application scenario than to build and maintain an index for a general collection the size of the Common Crawl. Our goal is to improve this situation by developing the Open Web Index.

The Open Web Index is a publicly funded basic infrastructure from which downstream applications will be able to select and compile custom indexes in a simple and transparent way. Our goal is to establish the Open Web Index along with associated data products as a new open web information intermediary.

This paper seems to give a good, quick overview.

It looks to be the usual EU tech project. Doing more to achieve less in a desperate, hopeless attempt to make up for the stupidity and greed of European elites.

So, what you are telling me, is that you are an IT professional working in Europe, and in your considered opinion, emails don’t fall under GDPR if you don’t provide your phone number or something. And that totally doesn’t sound like a joke. Is that about right?

Yeah… That Springsteen guy…

Why does he keep shouting that he was born in the USA? That’s what people shout when ICE nabs them off the street.

And what about that brother of his in Khe San? Where has that guy gone to? Someone ought to get to the bottom of that.

I still don’t get where all this disinformation comes from. What do you mean by “the GDPR website”? Are you under the impression that the linked website is somehow official? Even so, the information seems solid and shouldn’t give you these ideas.

A user is typically a natural person. A username identifies that person. Any information that is directly or indirectly linked to that username is thus personal data of that person. The GDPR explicitly gives “online identifier” as an example of an identifier. I did link to the official repository, which hosts translation in all European languages. Each translation can be reached with 1 click. It cannot be a language issue. I do not understand what the problem could be.

The personal data in the OP (consent options) are linked to a person via a cookie stored in their browser. I do not understand how one could make sense of the case without understanding what personal data is.

There also appears to be some confusion between GDPR and copyright. I do not know where these strange ideas come from.

Changing the subject. I take that as a sign that you understand how absurd your pontifications about the GDPR were. That’s great. I was able to help you. You’re welcome. However, it’s problematic that you chose to leave up incorrect info.

Now, you are not being truthful about what I wrote, so I do not think that it’s a good use of my time to lay out the issues here. If, at some point in the future, you are genuinely interested and able to behave like a responsible adult, we can talk about this.

Da ist nichts, was man einem Erwachsenen, der einen IT-Job hat, erklären müsste. Die Behauptung, dass personenbezogene Daten nach DSGVO und PII im US-Recht dasselbe sein, ist so fundamental unsinnig, dass ich sie nur als Witz verstehen kann. Klar, normalerweise würde ich das erklären, aber wenn einer so rumtextet von wegen Profi, dann muss das ein Witz sein.

In case there’s really anyone lurking here. Maybe you could explain to them what you think happens when one agrees to be tracked for ads. That ought to be funny. Do they send a drone swarm with 4K-cameras to your location? What’s a TC-string? Something that goes up your butt?

Ok. So you are trolling. Haha. The vote manipulation isn’t cool, though.

I’m in the EU and PII definitely IS “a thing” here,

Then let me be more clear: It is not a thing in EU law.

With due respect, the level of intellectual functioning, in this case reading comprehension, you display is incompatible with being an IT professional in any country. If you are not trolling, then you should consult a physician.

slight mistranslation: apparently, the proper english term is “personally identifiable information” or “PII”.

PII is a concept from US law. It is not a thing in the EU.

Ohne Spannung kann man eine Eingabe in mAh nicht in Energie umwandeln.

Und welche Spannung nimmt man da an? Vermutlich 3.7V?

HLI. Hätte auch 5V USB Spannung gedacht. Aber macht nichts. Dann irrt man sich auf der sicheren Seite.
