Yes, the GDPR covers almost everything you do with personal data. That is the point. As long as you're being respectful to data subjects the GDPR is surprisingly mild.

You're the one claiming the government is regulating tech too much, below an article about Apple making that same claim. And when pressed about specifics, you brand the entire thing as off-topic.

It is very much on topic, you just don't want to provide an argument.

What is wrong with the GDPR and the ePrivacy directive? The only problem I see is that they don't go far enough (online tracking, for example)

Countries must also "face the reality that we have in the eastern flank of Europe, which is this neo-imperialism of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, vis-a-vis countries such as Ukraine, but not create this false, or fake trade-off between aid and defense expenditure," Sanchez said.

How does this "echo Russian narratives"? Or is anyone who questions unlimited spending automatically a Russian spy?

You are afraid because politicians told you to be afraid. They don't want you to notice that you're getting robbed at home to benefit the weapons industry.

The reality is that Russia is weaker than everyone expected and they can't even take on Ukraine. The idea that they would simultaneously start a war with NATO is simply laughable. Even without the US, NATO already spends significantly more on defense than Russia's full-blown war economy. On top of that, NATO has nuclear weapons.

Cutting healthcare spending will cost lives. Not your hypothetical lives, but real people who die from curable illnesses while waiting for care. Those deaths are guaranteed.

If you tell this to your doctor they will indeed look at you weird.

"Just concentrate"

Wow, why didn't I think of that?

Awareness training is often a red herring to blame systemic failures on individual employees. No matter how much training you give, people are still going to click those phishing links. That's because phishing emails are often indistinguishable from real emails and clicking links is a regular part of their job.

It is much more effective to use technical controls. Prevent phishing emails from ever landing in the inbox. Give employees the proper tools and disable footguns. Have a procedure for when an employee inevitably does get phished.

 

The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.

Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I'm sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.
