True and ofc, but GDPR iirc isn´t completely new, it is built ont op of other privacy laws from different countries.

A lot of websites can be static HTML + CSS.

Yeah they can, I can understand you might want to use something like php to not need to edit the footers and headers every page if you ever change them, but still.

I also like how some websites like Amazon.com refuse to add a payment platform which is more than a credit card checkout. Especially because their EU sites do have payment platforms with more options to pay. So then you have an over complicated site already with a lot of bloat and some amount of your consumers can't even pay.

Apparently it is slower, but to me it just looks and feels better than the screen on my OLED Switch

Would you think the same in another country? In Canada? Or in The Netherlands?

It depends on what dongle and for what it is used, for something like headphones or earbuds I just leave my dongle on the cable, the same for in my car. I used a Redmi Note 13 Pro for a while which has an audio jack, but it was TERRIBLE so bad that I bought extra dongles before I switched back to using an iPhone.

I also already dispise looking for an Android phone, since I have terrible experience with Samsung Phones and Google products and don't want either of those. Having to look for a GOOD audio jack on one is not worth the hassle for me, if it is for you then more kudo's to you.

Ill just use an old school iPod or a USB-c cable

Grouping Europe (or America) together as one can be corrupt in some situations, but I don't believe it is accurate to mention the entire of Europe when talking about colonisation. There is a big part of the continent of Europe that never had anything to do with colonisation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colonies

You are right that Europeans and American's are very similar in some areas, for one that might have to do with the fore mentioned colonisation of America. Heck America has been doing a digital take over of the world, which Europeans are just (or a couple years ago) realising it is in our best interest ot create our own alternatives.

But there are tons of differences as well, for one, that America is a country and Europe is a continent. Which isn't even all united. The EU only has 27 states and a couple that want to be, while Europe has 51 countries. That is not that important when talking about culture, to be fair. You can see a lot of cultural differences when looking into company culture, work ethics, how people pay, sharing meals/receipts or things like sports, but also on the sense of the military and how nationalistic people are. All of the above are also different between different European countries, some might have similar things regarding sports or things that are centrally arranged like payment methods/platforms, but others are vastly different between countries. The Fresh are generally a very nationalistic people, while the Dutch are more or less the opposite.

Edit: where are you from?

To me a thicker phone doesn't help, but if it does for you then okey, that should exist.

Statement, arguments, points of views. Whatever you want to call it, it was in his program.

But just disregard it, him being an opposition player is a good enough reason why he failed

Yeah I guess, I didn't know that the name was public information. It doesn't really make sense to me why that is needed. Imo the badge number should be enough to file a formal complaint somewhere and get somebody to act according to that complaint.

The extreme right hasn't been able to do much in NL besides postponing getting anything done. Like I said it is slow af to get anything done in NL due to our structure, but at least the extreme right (or extreme left for the matter) will have less option to pass any actual laws.

Yes, we have issues with housing, the tax system and maybe even schooling. The housing thing is mostly because of bureaucracy and because of environment reasons, we haven't been able to comply with the EU regulations surround the environmental values. The tax system just fucks over a lot of people, either because the system is to complex for people or because it is just badly written. And the whole school thing is partially resolved and partially an issue because people didn't read that the loan was only 0% interest for the next few years and because people didn't know what their options are. Again it is a complex system and some people don't really understand it, but don't seek help either or they don't get the correct help.

There have been talks about making it easier to get the bureaucracy done for building more houses, which hopefully passes. The entire tax system will not be redone anytime soon, so people can still have issues with that, but we will wait and see for that.

Compared to most nations, yes the Dutch government is crap at the time of writing, but that is partially because we do not have a government. The previous Schoof government was also a shit show, but that's because WIlders can just play opposition and besides his extreme right statements he mostly has left leaning once so he contradicts himself half the time. He is also a one man party which doesn't help. The BBB is just a one statement party and the NSC just fell apart almost instantly, at least Omtzigt tried I gues. He was like the only person that we could vote for last time that understood how the issues with our tax system are making everything worse.

Doesn't seem to have one.

But to be honest, most headphone jacks on these slim phones suck and even a cheap USB-c to audio jack dongle is better than the average phone headphone jack.

The devices from Fiio show that it is still possibile to create a good quality Android device with a good headphone jack, but we might need thicker phones. I just use dongles or audio players

The TLDR about Anglo-Saxon vs Rheinland's is different cultures in companies and the Anglo-Saxon (mistranslated in my previous comment) mindset is more along the lines of profit and shareholder value optimalisation (you see this a lot in the English-speaking countries) and the Rheinland's model has more focus for other things like the other stakeholders like the employees. (You see this more in NL and DE, among others). The Rheinland's model isn't the greatest, it is slower because there is more to consider than profit maximisation. And pretty sure it is also worse for startups for similar reasons.

The US is also really consuming focussed, they really want you to consume aka buy as much as possible. That's why big box stores exist, and that is generally how they seem to act.

The modern NL had a good monetary head start due to our past, but in general our system is pretty decent. It will take a while to get something done and the government will fall pretty often, but everybody can get into it, at least in some levels if they get enough votes. In local politics, this isn't the hardest thing to do if you want it and believe you can make a difference. We have a lot of issues (uneven taxes, people missing out on social security due to faults of others, discrimination, etc.). But I do truly believe that our government, the rule of law and the executive power is at least pretty decent.

Edit: I don't believe the US is a good democracy in electoral votes and the mainly 2 party system. Then again the US is just to big and more comparable to the EU than to one country.

In my opinion you should look at the law objectively, a group of people who aren't fully educated on the law and aren't trained in being objective will not form an objective opinion.

Juries would be fine to give advice to the judge on how the public sees it, but they shouldn't have a real impact on the outcome of the situation. That should be a question of executing the law.

We have no trial by jury in The Netherlands and the international court of law doesn't have a jury either. The just have 15 judges to decide the outcome.

If you file a complaint with an instance like the NBA in this instance it will not go directly to the person who you complained about. They should stop the harassment.

In the case of accountants, the rules and regulations already make us write down a lot of our work and why we made certain decisions. If something is not written down, it is going to be hard to defend.

Yes in a restaurant it is different, but generally harassment is pretty rare, at least with the restaurants I have or had as clients. None really saw it as an issue. You just ban them, kick them out, call the cops if it really becomes bad or just deal with the couple bad reviews.

Depends, if you have a security camera on your own yard it is legal, but if it films the sidewalk it is illegal.

Bitching about things like unlawful camera use is exactly how things like the GDPR get enforced. A lot of people don't even know that it isn't allowed.

Heck the police will still use your camera if it is filming the road. They cannot use it as evidence, but it can help them in their investigation. FIlming cars is fine, but it is hard to fil the cars without filiming the people walking or cycling. There is also a balance that needs to be struck between privacy and being able to find/monitor actual criminals. This article from the authority of personal data goes into the Police and their camara use

I believe you that it is legal and maybe it should be in the US.

I am just saying that it would be a weird thing if the US ever added more privacy laws since this kinda contradicts this. I believe that the badge number should be enough for some other party to punish cops when needed. But I do not live in the US so my point of view is already a bit different on this entire situation

Making picture in public of others is alreasy not allowed under GDPR, but only if somebody complains you will get into issues most of the time.

We need to stop the bullshit excuses people like you are using to allow for the recording or eveeything it really needs to stop. You are already no allowed to have a camera watching the public streeth

Not that often, since it is a very formal matter to sue a registered accountant over here. It costs like 50 euro to complain or something and the accountant can lose his title from it.
