    Let’s hope there’s an element of truth in this 😁 From my perspective, I won’t lose any sleep

    @phenomlab lol as if Facebook or Instagram is an essential part of the life 😄 😄 or doing anything useful…

    that bluff clearly means that Zuck is not planning to respect anyone’s privacy at all…

    @crazycells exactly. I mean, just consider the impact of them leaving Europe. All those poor people who can’t post pictures of their dinner or check into a venue…

    I use it now and again (not even logged in this year yet) to keep in touch with family but I couldn’t care less to see the back of it.

    It’s been the source of more harm than good for me personally especially my love life 🤪😆.

    well he’s gone!

    It will make us a vacation and less stupid!!

    May be against Europe, but I hope it will not bend to this kind of threat.

    @downpw Exactly. The GDPR is there for a reason, and is law. If you choose not to comply, you are either fined a maximum of €20m, or four times the annual turnover of any parent company (whichever is greater). Just because you think you are untouchable, you aren’t.

    If you don’t like the rules, don’t play the game.

    @crazycells I did see something similar to that article, yes. I never fully understood why anyone would want to give unfettered and complete access to AI without first understanding exactly what it had control of, and what it intended to do with that access. This isn’t the first “horror story” and it won’t be the last.

    @phenomlab LOL yep that is right, because there was a huge stack of them, I remember and it seemed like it took forever to go through the whole stack. Then you had to install drivers for each device. Oh the good ole days haha

    @phenomlab I think I am going to switch to this theme eventually. The one I have is ok, but the price for this theme and what you get with it is really good. The business has broken even and is actually making some money now. We will see what the future holds. I am hoping to start getting enough business so I am behind 2 to 3 months. So we will see. My Arch web server has been working great! No issues with it so far. The only thing lately was the mail server software being updated, and they broke everything. I was able to make the required changes and get it back working and it has been working amazingly so far. I am still really happy I switched to Arch Linux Server and I haven’t had to reinstall the whole operating system due to this switch.
