@f0x you might find this interesting: gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requireme

These websites also typically violate particulate consent (Look up "Consent must be specific" in the link above) and the ability to easily change your mind ("Consent can be revoked").

The GDPR is a eass of legal language as you'd expect but where the idea of 'consent' applies.. it actually makes sense.

Consenting to A doesn't consent to B and C. I can change my mind. I can say 'No'.

patterns in lgtbq-phobia/racism in countries 

Something I see a lot in the Netherlands is ridiculing 'SJW' things by saying something racist/misogynistic/etc and ending with a "but you're not allowed to say that anymore". Or ridiculing by just combining as many of the gender/identity markers as possible

I wonder if people from other areas have similar or different 'patterns'

Pleasantly surprised with the mobile phone Animal Crossing game, there's some 'speed this up' microtransactions but other than that it's very nice.

school, bullying, gender policing 

@mxsiege This isn’t quite what I took away from my time in an all-boys school, but it’s in the same area. I’d emphasise anxiety over biology myself - there was a lot of gender policing (mostly as homophobia) driven by fear of being the next victim.

Just realised the nice part about getting hourly wage is that I don't care if something breaks. Because more time solving it = more money

Boss gets a dollar I get a dime that's why I scroll the TL on company time

I've decided to restore my 5" racing/freestyle quad and I can't wait to fly something with more power and a proper camera, now that I'm a better pilot

Cis woman on Masto: Man, I hate getting cat called on the street.

Socialist father [DM]: I am so, so sorry that happened to you. Men suck, I should know, lol! If you need to vent about it or whatever, I'm here! Hope your day is going well. :)

oh and the TS100 is an amazing soldering iron, but running it of my sole thinkpad charger has the downsides of not being able to charge my laptop lol

I did a bunch of for a scouting project and here's some things:

1. Keep your workspace wel ventilated, solderfumes will give you a headache short term and probably worse long term

2. Cut your wires beforehand, it's soo much faster to cut and strip everything first then solder it all than switching between cutting and soldering for every wire

I'm considering writing a funding application to a few of the organizations that help with stuff that helps the internet, for my Matrix client project.
Problem is I can't write for shit, are there any guides for such things?

Fascism, Google 

It's zero overstatement to say that Google is enabling fascism by neglecting to clean up the review-bombing of Tusky.

If it wants to profit from crowdsourcing the hard work of evaluating apps, it gets to share in the blame for the fallout from that.
