In France you have to register to vote as well. It takes about a minute and you can do it online or at the town hall

I agree, he's a Linux user.

Imagine being this dependent on destroying the planet that thinking maybe to shouldn't fly plane = nobody loves you lmao

It's ok man one day, when the acid rains destroy the last of your local forest, you'll be able to tell your kids that you made a lot of money.

Assuming you find a partner that tolerates you, that is.

I don't need to fly a plane to find people who like me :)

My Nas is a standard truenas scale installation with standard SMB shares that all my windows computers pick up instantly without any or extremely limited fiddling.

I'm not some nooblet that doesn't know shit, tyvm. I've been using computers for decades.

I don't expect a one to one translation between using windows and Linux, but I do expect basic functionalities to be, well, functional out if the box.

I've been regularly trying whatever Linux distro is supposed to be good on and off every other year, and there was always something that made me go 'that should be working right out the box' and then spend too much time fixing it.

So not just from 1995.

Sounds like a typical Linux user ;)

A friend came to my place with his Linux laptop, to grab some privateered games off of my Nas.

Couldn't connect to anything on the network.

He was like 'yo let me try these command lines'

When he was done fiddling around his computer wouldn't boot.

Ah yes, such accountability. 5 whole ass fines (for an evil company like Google that probably deserves 10x more) of which they made the money back in less than 3 days lmao

I can't believe someone who seems as smart as you seem to be can look at that and be like "yes, this is meaningful" lmao. GDPR had absolutely no impact whatsoever. It's the most pointless piece of legislation ever passed by the EU and the competition is pretty stiff in that category. They fucking regulated the shape of fucking bananas and cucumbers. They ban companies from saying drinking water hydrates you.

Look, feel free to believe the EU gives half a fuck, in reality it's just the same bunch of neoliberal vampires who need to get publicly executed for their crimes against the people.

I went back and added all the fines google got handed

137 millions

Estimates put Google as earning 50 millions per day on ad revenues alone lmao.

GDPR is truly a devastating blow for these companies, I can't possibly understand how they are able to cope with this incredible financial pressure.

The fact they got fined 5 times should tell you just how many fucks they give about it.

Edit: lmao the second fine they got was a bank breaking 7 millions

I have never in my life got any useful information out of Quora.

In fact, it's so bad that when I mistakenly click on a Quora link, and I have some time to kill, I read the page to have a solid laugh at all the stupid answers in there that gets promoted.

Same smelly shit.

You when the 57th ad in a row plays on tv.

Y'all behave like they put a gun up to your head and force you to watch them ads lmao.

It's mental how the simple thought of maybe do something else than watch the ads is met with such hostility lmao.

You know what doesn't have ads (yet, anyway)? Mother fucking books.

You know what you can take on a plane with you? A mother fucking book.

Read a book.

Budget cuts left, right and center mostly.

Education, healthcare, transportation, everything goes down the shitter in the name of tax cuts and profits for the mega rich.

Medicine is more expensive than ever and many drugs get removed from the reimbursement list every year.

Increased retirement age even though numbers and stats show there is no need to.

Just the average liberalism bullshit similar to every other country.

Lol they fined google a whole 50 million.

And I'm sure all of these things are heavily enforced and companies face hefty fines when they don't follow these regulations lmao

Yes sorry, I meant privatization, brain fart moment.

I don't think universal charging or gdpr are meaningful in my everyday life. Do you want to know how I dealt with Apple's bullshit premium prices on their slightly different shaped plug?

I didn't buy Apple products. And even with universal charging, I still won't. I literally do not care about this universal charging thing. USB has been a de facto standard in my life long before the EU decided to randomly care about it.

The only effect of gdpr is having to click on a trillion check marks every time you visit a website if you care about your privacy, or just give up and click the 'accept all' button, and even if you turn them all off, there's still a trillion trackers because of 'necessary' ones.

These two 'achievements' are the most meaningless things ever.

The thing that actually impacts my life, for example, is the EU's constant fight against biodiversity, by preventing the sales of any seed that isn't pre-approved in a list designed by some corrupt official paid by Monsanto and friends.

The EU can get fucked.

I didn't say RN would do better. I said they would be the same.

When someone fucks my ass, it doesn't matter if they pretend not to or if they're open about it, I still have an assful of dick
