  • I just got a BMW iX a few months ago and love it, so I'm very excited for Neue Klasse. I've got a three year lease. I'd love to get another, smaller EV.

  • This article is from July 2023... Is there any new news or is this just reposting an old article?

  • Do you have stamp duty in the UK? We have both rates (yearly) and stamp duty (once off during purchase) in Australia, and property taxes in the USA are roughly the same as rates and stamp duty combined into one.

  • At least on Facebook you practically always choose friends to add, groups to join, pages to follow, etc. A surprisingly large number of Reddit users just stick to the default subreddits.

  • They already updated it to make the language clearer. This is the new version:

    You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.

    And they removed the passage that states they will never sell your data

    That's because the definition of "sell data" varies by jurisdiction, so they can't make that claim (nor can any company that uses ads). In particular, it's very strict in California's CCPA, and includes third parties using data for analytical purposes even if no payment is made.

  • Firefox don't store everything you type though.

  • This isn't surprising at all. Centralized services are expensive to run at a large scale.

  • Honestly, people are overreacting to the ToS changes. Mozilla haven't actually changed what they're doing; they're just removing text they legally can't include since the definition of "selling data" varies by jurisdiction. It doesn't always mean literally selling user data. California is very strict about it for example.

  • It's way easier to do with Lemmy compared to Reddit. Because of its federated design, it's trivial to subscribe to a stream of all activity in a community (posts, comments, upvotes, downvotes, moderation actions, etc) and do things when particular actions happen. Unlike Reddit, on Lemmy you can get a list of who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment.

  • And ideally your search engine of choice would be z-library or libgen

  • This is what happens when someone who really focuses on UX designs your interface. Little details that not everyone notices, but the few that do really appreciate it.

  • Chromium is open source, so Google can't cut them off.

  • I've never had issues with networking or drivers with my Brother printer. I don't have any Apple devices, but on Windows and Linux I just use the drivers that come with the OS.

  • They do have Black Friday sales that make it a bit cheaper.

  • They also set up a system so that non-EU retail sellers can collect VAT directly on payment

    That's what Australia does too. Since the sellers already had their systems set up to handle it for Australia, it was probably easy for them to extend it to be used for the EU too.

  • For a better user experience, try Weyd + Premiumize.

  • I agree, and don't think there should be any tariffs.

    Having said that, a US store that has to pay sales tax is never going to win over a foreign store that doesn't have to pay sales tax. Even after shipping, the exact same product will likely be cheaper to buy from the European store.

    If you buy something from Europe under the de minimis exception, there's no tax applied at all. European countries/companies usually don't tax buyers from outside the EU, and the US doesn't tax it either.

    Applying the same tax for both US and international purchases makes sense IMO. This is what Australia does: The sales tax rate is 10% across the whole country, and foreign stores that sell to Australians have to collect 10% tax and send it to the Australian government. Collecting taxes at the point of payment, even for foreign stores, avoids customers having to pay taxes separately when the package arrives in the country.

  • Maybe that's to make it seem more "real"? I'm not sure.
