GDPR doesn’t require them to ask if they would just not violate our privacy. In other words, it’s perfectly legal to assume “no” if they have no means of asking.

Do you have any source on that? I planned to get one soon and that’s worrying. So far I’ve found this post after a quick search, which claims PD is supported.

It’s not about whether they actually care. It’s about whether I’m worried they might care. It’s very stressful for neurodivergent people.

With my bear hands?

We can simultaneously move along and criticize their decisions as exploitative double-dipping on their users. Criticizing them thankfully doesn’t require a subscription, or even an account.

Just wait for some corporate white knight to come here and explain how EU is stopping innovation. Love these guys, I always have a bag of popcorn at the ready.

And yet they were perfectly okay with providing the service for free while they were still busy starving off the competition. No tears for Google shall be shed here.

The USB-C (female) adapters are hard to find due to technically being non-compliant. If you’re interested about the reasons and some further context, I can recommend this article: https://hackaday.com/2022/12/27/all-about-usb-c-illegal-adapters/

In your specific case, it’s twice as hard to find such an adapter due to MiniUSB being so uncommon these days.

Now let’s see whether Mastodon users will allow Threads users to follow the Mastodon users.

It’s not free speech unless you mute people telling you you’re wrong when you speak.

Well, more power to them then! Ernest can then merge back the changes at his own pace, so everybody wins. Forks don’t need to be treated with hostility.

Sounds like the current law, except for the last point. The problem is with enforcing compliance.

I’m aware but thank you. I’ve tried it before and didn’t like it. Maybe I’ll give it another shot, though I don’t see much benefit in tying my music player to Emacs.

In this specific community? Should be quite obvious. :)

I’m an Emacs graybeard, so complex keybindings don’t scare me. My problem with ncmpcpp is twofold:

1. It relies on MPD which is always a PITA to properly configure. Pulseaudio always managed to make it not work on a fresh system. Hopefully with Pipewire it’ll be better.
2. The config format make no sense whatsoever. Especially the one with keybindings. It’s so cryptic I just stopped trying to understand it. Again, I’m an Emacs graybeard, to stress it as a point of reference.

MPD + ncmpcpp, I hate both and I’m yet to find anything better.

I wish. They are not even close.

Even back in the day when I still used Windows (and GUI almost exclusively) I browsed my filesystems like I’d use a terminal with tab-completion. I’d press the first few letters of the file/directory I was looking for and press enter, rinse and repeat. I knew my file organization by heart anyway. It’s only natural for me to drop the GUIs for such use cases.

Whether it was a successful coup is a separate matter.

Back in my day we called them avatars, youngster!
