Sadly too many asshats ignore the stickers. I could now sue the shitty "free" newspaper ad delivery device, but that's somehow more work and money than I'm willing to invest.

Yes to both (English/German).

Try it for a few days. You get into it real quick and it has a lot of useful features.

The keyboard itself is great, I just feel like the auto correction keeps doing everything in it's power to fuck up what I typed, more so than before I switched.

I don't see any reason not to take that Action.

The reason is that the government is now subsidizing poverty wages and encouraging those business models instead of letting them crash and burn for a lack of willing wage slaves like they should.

I'm convinced they'll never figure out a practical solution to take technical drawings out to construction sites digitally (battery life, limited screen size, dirt, hazardous atmospheres, the unwillingness of my boss to pay for expensive specialized hardware ....). Other than that I'm with you.

"You appreciate good food."

Nope. You cannot.

Of course they are. You can pay or consent to tracking.

You called bullshit on it being common on the continent, I provided examples from the continent.

At least one German outlet has been shown to still track you after paying. Just a bit less. So they use a rubber with a few holes poked in.

the user can simply choose not to read the article, so there's an option where they don't get fucked.

We are rapidly nearing a point where you can't read online news from any major (ergo "widely considered somewhat credible") source without one of those schemes. So I'd argue that the alternative is to just not get access to online news, and that may be considered too much pressure to still consider consent as voluntary.

Sadly, newspapers are not considered "platforms". A platform is a site that publishes user generated content, so lemmy or facebook. And not all platforms are large platforms too.

So while this is a good first step, it doesn't cover all online services.

www.spiegel.de

www.faz.net

www.sueddeutsche.de

www.heise.de

www.golem.de

www.derstandard.at

www.repubblica.it/

It's not a grey area, it's clearly illegal (consent has to be given voluntarily. If you can't use the site without paying, that's not voluntary). Agencies so far just decided to look the other way and play dumb. There are lawsuits ongoing.

German news outlets all do it. The data protection agencies have sadly so far ruled it's ok (there are still ongoing lawsuits afaik).

"The Winds of Winter" because that'd mean he fucking finished it.

"I didn't ask how big the room was, I said I cast fireball!"

It takes way more effort from the user and leads to more people dropping out.

Then make it 0 to 3 or 0 to 1 for all I care. You missed the point, which is: If I want or don't want feature A doesn't influence if I want or don't want feature B, and linking the two distorts the results of the poll.

in the end, the result is the same in Aggregate.

Not if you include the human factor of the decision maker, who can twist "wanted less" into "still wanted a bit" as a justification if they want a certain feature for different reasons than user benefit (like, say, a "privacy friendly" but indeed not at all privacy friendly mechanism to give data to add networks). That doesn't fly with "0 points".

The person evaluating the poll will take away "person likes option 1 most" not "person absolutely wants none of these in their browser, ever". That's the issue. You should not phrase questions in a way that assumes parts of the answer, at least not if you want useful results.

A better way would have been to let us rate features 0 to 10 and just accept if people thought their feature ideas are all shit.
