Thank you for the breakdown, this was my understanding having done some basic GDPR training. I'm aware of the regulator. I've nicely asked questions for now, to see what the answers are.

I don't disagree.

I've asked questions to see what grounds they believe they are using.

It's England. Edited post.

I would like to not put up with it, hence asking questions to see if they actually understand what they are doing...

It is also during period inspection, so they have asked to attend and it has been agreed.

It's quite insane to me to, hence the curiosity.

This is my personal understanding, that it is to prove to the landlord that they did the inspection.

However, isn't that their problem, not mine? Are they really using people's data to prove their business obligations?

The people that won those elections are poor performers, bad strategists and often abdicate their responsibilities as leaders. If they were born poorer or lower class, they would not be where they are now.

They win elections with media support, even when taking opposite stances day to day because the people that own and run those media companies... Went to school with them.

It's like a big club, and most of us ain't in it.

But if you are in it, you can be stupid, lazy, incompetent or even outright evil and still succeed, aka, fail upwards.

I live in a small non wealthy town in the UK, it's five miles across and everything is accessible without cars.

My neighbor has five to seven cars on their driveway. To let others out they start them all and play musical cars. Two of them drive to jobs less than two miles away. They use them for practically every trip over 200 metres. Their extended family visit every weekend, in separate cars and all live within five miles.

My other neighbors have three cars for two people, including a pickup truck. Again, they drive literally everywhere. Even walking distance.

Many of the young people here drive terrible modded cars up and down all day for no actual purpose than vanity.

If you tried to have to have a conversation with these people about their car use, they would claim it's their right and that they "pay for it". Yet what they pay is < 10% of the damage they cause.

Obviously, if you are remote, or have a disability or need to carry a heavy load you should probably use a car.

But many people think it's literally their God given right to drive a dangerous metal box, badly, burning irreplaceable oil, spraying pollution, noise pollution and brake dust literally straight into your home.

Every single car journal under 10 miles should be excessively taxed, with extreme taxes for trips under three miles. You should literally be forced to think twice, then twice again.

All of these people are literally saying: "Fuck other people's health, their sanity, their happiness, their time, their environment, the environment as a whole. Me drive metal box"

The entitlement of drivers is literally staggering.

That he demonstrated that those agencies were actually doing the things people said they would do, while being defended by people who used arguments quite like gp comment.

I used the word "Snowden" not to refer to him, but to the event. Why? Because I didn't want to type the three letter keyword into my comment. Which is an example of the chilling effect these activities cause.

You're right in one sense. In another, isn't this exactly what people said about intelligence agencies ("they could but they don't") and then... Snowden.

This is my favourite part of the theory. The people who were 20/30/40 years old in the 1970/80s are now 60/70/80.

It's a bit difficult to commit violent crime at that age.

Yet it's easy to sit on the internet posting and believing in outright insanity and extremism.

It will take until 2040+ for many of these people to leave the political system.

If I wanted to use mitmproxy to mitm and observe traffic during automated testing, what mode/settings should I be using on Windows?

The setup is: A client (dev machine or pipeline) running tests that communicate to a Windows VM that hosts the app under test. The client RPCs to call automation APIs on the host/server.

However I couldn't get both communicating and using mitmproxy to observe traffic to work at the same time.

Rules should definitely be applied equally, yet even still it's somewhat obvious that in the western world certain sides engage in misinformation more than others and that very same side is more susceptible to it.

"Five year olds can handle this": That is the exact problem, they can't. They are sometimes less capable than that.

So if you have these skills or interests, what should you do with them?

How do you direct SMS to the online interface?

I've never thought of EastEnders from that perspective. I don't disagree.

In theory, it could be used as a method of creating awareness and discussion of important life topics in a real life like familiar setting. And you can sort of see how they try to do that... but the need to have some new dramatic event every six weeks overshadows it.

I did this recently too. You might want to review the language changes from C++11 and C++17.

You could try writing a raytracer, or physics sim, or small tools that would have been difficult/annoying previously (like dealing with JSON). You could revisit writing win32 apps. The WebView2 lib (which is Edge) is self contained-ish and interesting to learn with (lots of async).

To add $25MM to anti-corruption budgets? Sure, governments are to varying degrees, quite corrupt, but isn't that in part due to the people with leverage and power (aka money)?

Example: Rich people > Shit newspapers > Misinformed populace > Shit political choices > Shit government > Corruption > Rich people now have more money.
