  • There has already been multiple rulings under the GDPR where pages made it too hard to reject processing of personal data.

    Google was forced to change their consent banner to make it easier to decline.

    GDPR explicitly says that it must be as easy to decline as it is to accept. Paying €14 per month is not as easy as not paying €14 per month.

    Consent is also not "freely given" if paying is the only way to avoid consenting.

  • It would be wonderful with something more granular than "NSFW"...

    I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".

    Examples:

    • Content Warning: nudity - might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn't porn, but there's exposed genitals, butts or breasts.
    • Content Warning: porn - you can probably guess...
    • Content Warning: gore - images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.
    • Content Warning: death - images with people dying, but without gore.
    • Content Warning: blood - images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)
    • Content Warning: violence - people fighting, but without turning bloody.

    These could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.

    EDIT: added violence by request

  • Yes, a renaissance artwork that contains naked women, actual hardcore porn, and a Russian soldier being blown to pieces in Ukraine, should not occupy the same "NSFW" tag...

    Of course there's going to be grey area stuff, but 3 buckets like this is much much better than a single "everything people might not want to see" bucket.

  • This is pretty cool, but I'm wondering why... Sure there's lots of systems that make use of A/B partitions, which is a pretty good move, but with BTRFS you could have it all in one partition with an A/B subvolume, and they would even be able to share extents that are common between the two (meaning drastically reduced disk space requirements), while still maintaining the ability to boot into either...

    Depending on how much changes you might even keep many more than just two subvolumes. On my machine I run BTRFS with snapper, which takes periodic snapshots, as well as before and after every time I install or uninstall a package, with the ability to boot into any of the snapshots if a change somehow botches my system.

  • The new Unity pricing is not necessarily cheaper than Unreal. It depends on the price model for the game in question.

    Many free-to-play games see massive amounts of installs, but very little average revenue per game. See of those devs did the math for their games, and found out that their average revenue per player was around 18 cents. So if Unity charges 20 cents per install, the dev would outright have to pay Unity 2 cents more than the player even gave them in revenue.

    Some other devs calculated that the install fees would come out to 106% or the total revenue that their game had made.

    Unreal's price model is generally 5% of revenue, so that would be significantly cheaper.

    But it depends a lot on the actual price model for the game. Some games will pay rather little in install fees, while others will pay excessive amounts.

  • You very well might be. Your car might be "dumb" to the user, but still have a culular modem that transmits information to the manufacturer.

    The manufacturer has already paid the subscription upfront, and can get very very low deals from the culular networks due to the low amount of data transmitted.

  • Connect includes a setting called "Blocked Instances includes comments", which will filter all comments from all users from any of your blocked instances.

    I don't think Sync has this option... and I don't know whether it filters them or not.

  • Yeah... The world is a pretty bleak place...

    It's rather horrifying to grasp how much of a buy-and-throw-away society the wealthier parts of the world have become.

    Perfectly good printers gets ink refills so expensively that it makes sense to throw away the whole printer, including the perfectly good stepper motors and and they get locked down in software to the point where they are practically broken. Making people just throw away the whole printer and buy a new one...

    Bike batteries that are still perfectly good with maybe one dead lithium cell gets throw away in bulk because no one bothers to disassemble and see which cells are still good.

    I recently bought an serger sewing machine second hand. Perfectly good machine, powerful motor, all the gears and levers are all in sturdy metal. But the knife and the overlooper was missing. Buying just a new replacement knife and overlooper (3 small pieces of metal that are less than 1cm by 3 cm, and only a couple of millimeters thick) costs more than buying the whole machine (including those parts) brand new.

    It's atrocious that we don't repair our stuff better, or at the very least give it to countries that would actually care enough to either repair it or strip it down for parts.
