But wait, isn't Google already indexing the Fediverse? Public posts are available through http without auth... so I find it hard to understand the opposition from the admins described in this article. What am I missing?

One way would be to publish on Medium but link to https://scribe.rip/

"These notifications are incredibly annoying but have become necessary to do business online to comply with data protection regulations like GDPR."

No, they are not necessary. Website owners can choose to use privacy-friendly tools for analytics and then a cookie modal is not necessary

> Don't like it? Put your arm up and hail a cab or call the dispatch office to request a ride, that's what we had to do not even 20 years ago.

I usually do this and call taxis by phone whenever I can, but in Riga this was exceptionally difficult due to language constraints

I guess one thing could be to force businesses of certain scale (or ideally, of any scale) to not offer services exclusive to a particular digital ecosystem, unless that's the only way to provide that service.

My local restaurant uses an app to do loyalty stamps... I really wish tey would come back to the traditional paper-based ones

> But Bolt is not a monopoly. There are many taxi services in Riga.

My experience is that if you don't speak Latvian, Bolt is basically the only choice to order a ride in Riga. Oh trust me, how I've tried. I never use those ride hailing services unless there's no other option left.

> No thanks I will not boycott Bolt because you chose to violate some ToS and hack their product and somehow become outraged.

Well, I'm not inviting people to boycott Bolt because I "hacked their product". I'm inviting to boycott Bolt because they are using dark patterns to take control away from users.

But in the context of Bolt, I believe they aren't displaying ads in their app?

My suspicion is that it's harder to monitor network traffic in an app than it is on the Web, and they want to push as much trackers as possible

Author here. I just don't want to make patching it easier for Bolt

But why then would it only affect Google's services?

It's not running DHCP. All my machines in the local network have static IPs and DHCP is disabled. I used to use DHCP on the router. The issue persists independently of DHCP

Don't focus on how much you eat, just what you eat. Eliminate alcohol, sugar, fruit juices from your diet, without exceptions. Sleep well. Don't eat for pleasure, eat to not die

As a GDPR auditor, this website just does a very superficial job, and doesn't go anywhere close to deep enough.

It could at least check if third-party cookies are being set without consent, which is a major GDPR red flag

Aren't the cards cryptographically signed as the EU ones?

...but what does it have to do with AI?

I think that this approach kind of dissolves the power of the word "consent"

> plainly and unambiguously expresses LACK OF CONSENT by a user

in GDPR terms, consent can never be assumed. In order to be valid, the consent has to be a result of a conscious, explicit action from the user. Things that are opt-out cannot use "consent" as a legitimizing premise

Yeah, I didn't mention self-hostability is a must.

SourceHut is terryfying to junior members

What I really like about Phabricator as a review tool:

* keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the changes

* ability to add a comment to multiple lines of code

* ability to suggest changes inline

* comments are saved as I type them, so an accidental tab close saves my work

* comments are submitted in batches when I choose to, not one-by-one after saving each one. Its's sooo useful, because it often happens that I ask a question about some piece of code and upon further reading I find the answer, so I can delete the question before submitting all the comments and the author won't be bothered by it

If anyone knows of a feview tool with similiar set of features, please please let me know :)

When it comes to task management in Phab, I like how the tasks can be arranged in a dependency tree. We have our "todo" view set up so it only shows tasks without dependencies and sorted by prioroty, so the work on the project self-organizes

I really like that it went in the PWA direction. I wish more apps did that and ditched the whole Android/iOS duopoly
