  If you get an urn with a non-screw-lid they’ll also put the ashes in a bag in the urn. Sensible precaution honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you feel like you're always being watched, can you really claim to have integrity?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like OP is referring to religious folks believing God is always watching.

  Dunno if that really invalidates your comment though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sliiightly more debatable, but you’re not supposed to emphasize one over the other iirc. Go read the GDPR, for legalese it’s surprisingly readable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing. Having a toggle for “legitimate interest” is nonsense. The GDPR lists some exceptions to when you need to ask for permission, these are “legitimate interests”. Things like remembering someones IP to keep track of bans is allowable without needing to ask for permission.

  Of course advertising agencies promptly went to work trying to bend the language of GDPR so they can claim they are a legitimate interest and therefore exempt. It won’t hold up in court.

  The GDPR is surprisingly strict, and a LOT of the cookie popups you see in the wild are not at all compliant. To give an example: having your “accept” and “reject” buttons a different font size is explicitly not allowed.

  A macro lens produces a large image. It’s a bit silly but I guess once these things get a name it’s hard to get it changed.
