  Getting pregnant is a brain implant ;-)

  That is basically it’s reset.css otherwise the required biases might not work ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is no EU cookie banner law⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Websites should only track if DNT is 0. Null means no consent, 1 means rejection.

  Consent has to be given, not assumed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Perfect Solution⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dutch programmer, ‘of’ is dutch for ‘or’.

  I wonder if OpenAI is smart enough for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can have anything you wan...⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would go for all languages, spoken, written, typed, signed, listened too, seen, felt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta's behavioral Ads banned in EU/EEA by EDPB⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I would also like a ban on using my personal data to train an AI model. Soon we’ll get ads based on ai prediction based on our personal data as an indirect way to still do the same things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great! I like getting tracked by 766 third parties! thanks Outlook⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, the extreme battery saver greys out all disabled apps and leaves others alone. Calling is colored, messaging… and outlook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great! I like getting tracked by 766 third parties! thanks Outlook⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Outlook sucks, the android app is marked as an essential/core app, meaning even in super battery saver it’s running in the background eating away a shitton of battery when you really don’t want it to do that.

  My devices 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube blames ad blockers for slow load times, and it has nothing to do with your browser | The delay is intentional, but targeting users who continue using ad blockers, and not tied to any browse...⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny how soon it will seem as if chrome is the most used browser while it’s actually Firefox with a user agent change

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/…/k9i62zu/ for a working fix

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube Abblock Reckoning as a service problem?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This, I don’t mind ads besides my content, I despise ads replacing the content, multiple times, with the same ad I already saw.

  I don’t mind paying for no ads, but not at those prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s ad blocking crackdown is facing a new challenge: privacy laws | Privacy advocates argue YouTube’s ad blocker restrictions violate the European Union’s online privacy laws.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, so basically blacklisting email sender’s on ip address isn’t allowed either? When is an IP address, an individual and when is it just a machine in the cloud?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millennials: It's ok to mourn the death of social media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Boost show the strikethrough, not the subscript

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Premium Price Raised in Seven Countries Following Crackdown on Ad Blockers | Technology News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the reason I block the ads and don’t buy premium is because the price is too high.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Euro data watchdog bans Meta's use of personal data for ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So their solution to selling personal data was to offer a subscription so they could show you targeted ads. That feels like paying triple; the subscription, ads and personal data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta faces permanent ban on targeted ads across Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s about the part where they can’t hide the data collection in the terms and conditions of the site. You have to have a separate clear consent step for them to collect the data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What got you into coding ? (aside from money)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, scripts to automate things. Especially the boot procedure in DOS, to allocate the memory in the right way depending on what I wanted to do.

  Had a 27mc linked to my pc to download mp3s at 800 bytes a second and it needed some specific things to function.

  Then came the internet and I started my computer science education, learned to program for real then, but not a lot about internet and web scripts. Taught myself html, CSS, flash, javascript, PHP, CGI and later Python and everything related to the hosting of those things.

  And that’s what I still do, teaching myself new web related technologies or even re-educating myself in old ones (javascript!)

  Yeah, and steamdeck might gain more customers too
