Am I the only one annoyed the article is an article about a future article? Like I didn’t get anything out of their experience into linux because it’s just a pre-article and the user transition experience is what we’re interested in.

This guy would probably conclude that a US company operating in the EU would also need to apply GDPR to US users. He is so confidently wrong

The more unique it is, the more easy to find you. That’s why anti-fingerprinting is a problem because removing tracking makes you more unique compared to millions of devices with the same data tracked.

Can you confirm you are physically in the EU? If you are not, they do not care because as you pointed out, “it protects data subjects in the EU”. If you are not in the EU, then your location DOES matter. If you are in an EU territory (or territory where international agreements deem it applicable) even as a non-EU citizen, then that would suck. It doesn’t sound like lottery to me- be physically in a territory where the law applies and get gdpr. Expecting laws to apply outside their jurisdiction is crazy

Yet this same article in paragraph 2 literally says it only covers EU citizens.

“This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union”

Why are you surprised when they point this out?

It’s basically having website cookies completely isolated in the same profile. You can also create containers for each website automatically so they can’t talk to each other. If you like having multiple emails from the same provider open, you can do that without logging out or making a new Firefox profile, so it’s like having all your settings and add-ons with the website flexibility of another profile.

Firefox multi account containers and temporary containers

You can fine tune your process but the most basic is a funnel (I.e. V60, chemex, kalita) with a paper filter on top with grounds on it that you just pour hot water on top and wait for it to filter down. Coffee machines do all this but they generally produce worse coffee outside of shops because no one cleans them as often as they should

You can do the same with a manual coffee brewer though- just use less coffee and water

Honestly I’d compare to using Google in your everyday life and say Amazon is the business version of that

Honestly that was how I felt as well. I remember being hyped the play bl2 and then getting bored doing meaningless quests over and over. Like am I supposed to feel anything for these people asking me to retrieve parts over and over? At least do some sort of quest where they can shoot people. I thought the combat system was better but I wasn’t compelled to play through it

I’d argue James bond as a franchise is basically a hypermasculine fantasy and the gadgets are pretty much a tech fantasy within it. Breaking laws of physics is completely unrealistic, but the point I was making was that you don’t need to do any of these things- you could write a story about how you went to the gym and broke a treadmill (even though you didn’t) and it would be fiction. The bar to fiction is not that high.

What you’re saying is sound and I agree the plot not being real is fiction; the only problem is you said fiction required unrealistic elements and most people see “unrealistic” as basically fantasy

I’m referring to this review from NLM looking at 49 papers to investigate the effects of gaming on women. It is possible to have multiple articles that contradict each other

Me arguing something can be harmful for society doesn’t mean I’m arguing it has to be abolished in its entirety. I’m not sure why you think everything has to be black and white since obviously there’s room for artistic use- remember you are the only one who thought that, or perhaps it just wasn’t obvious for you. And can you explain how unrealistic body standards is not bad for society? It isn’t far fetched seeing young people compare to beauty standards they are bombarded with. It doesn’t only happen in video games but in tons of visual media.

It is possible to have a realistic story in fiction. For example, Mad Men is a tv series that’s pretty grounded in history but the characters and everything that happens to them are the product of the writers and their research. It’s not a documentary, it’s fiction, but quite realistic.

Have you ever read historical fiction? Stories like jane eyre are not real but they’re sensible. A story can be fiction and realistic. You can write a short story based on stuff you’ve researched and seen and it’s still fiction.

Who said that was a requirement? It’s still a fact that it causes harm

I’m not sure why this is being downvoted because setting unrealistic body standards is absolutely terrible for society

Fiction can easily be realistic- You’re thinking of fantasy which is unrealistic. Fiction means it’s not a true story, not that it can’t be realistic
