The only question here is: why do European police chiefs want to help Russia and China intercept our communications?

You're right, I completely misinterpreted the comment. The thing is that "voice" is a very specific term within IRC, and I got confused :D

If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually "talk", I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it's a possibility.

I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I've used it very sparsely.)

And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.

IRC still rules. No ads in my irssi.

It's not yet proven that it was the US, no? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised at all, but I still don't know that's a fact.

The situation in Malaga is going to be a shitshow pretty soon. There's basically no water there anymore. This summer, hotels will be able to fill their swimming pools, but residential buildings will be banned from doing so. There are talks of bringing water in boats from Murcia. People that got rich planting avocados and mangos saw their crops fall 85 % last year. And of course there are already water consumption restrictions, with water flows restricted at night.

But at the same time there are talks of beating all previous tourism records. This is insanity.

Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they're going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?

What has been your involvement with Reddit as a user so far? I'm trying to understand what users are getting those offers.

I was listening to a podcast the other day (could have been "Rachman review", which is typically very good) and the interviewee said that yes, there might be interest in this, but companies want to see long-term orders before committing. There's currently no capacity, so they have to build it on their side, but they don't want to do it if they think the orders are going to dry in a few months / years.

Some people have already commented how to find it.

However, on a tangential note: last I heard, they stopped adding new papers due to a trial in India, but I never found out the outcome of that. Anyone has news about this, or did I dream it?

With the new EU's interconnection laws I hope I can WhatsApp from Pidgin, or even from irssi!

But no, I don't use pidgin anymore. irssi, yes.

We can't have nice things.

The full text describes clusterfuck after clusterfuck. It's worth registering (it's free to read) even just for this one.

 

Hi,

In Spain (and probably other places in Europe) we've recently seen a deluge of cookie banners that offer you the option to reject tracking cookies for a fee. The regular GDPR forms are therefore slightly broken, as you get several options: accept, reject (which doesn't work in most cases), and buy a subscription to reject. Consent-O-Matic, for example, is having a hard time. I don't doubt it'll get corrected in time, but I want to talk about something tangential.

Cookie consent has (at least) two layers: the browser layer (where we might delete cookies, reject third party cookies, etc) and the site UI layer (where we're presented with an option when we load the page). This means we can reject third-party cookies at the browser layer and then accept whatever form at the site UI layer.

With the set up mentioned above, is there really any difference between accepting cookies and rejecting cookies? No tracking cookie are going to get installed in my computer anyway. This, combined with an ad blocker, makes the browsing experience exactly the same whether I accept or reject the cookie form. Is there anything I'm missing here?
