Through factory committees.

If you honestly believe that the workers in a factory under Stalin could decide how much of a good they wanted to produce, or decide if they wanted to increase automation, or even decide if they were allowed to go to the toilet, then you really don't understand how the USSR worked. The Soviets (factory committees) at best held some sway during the early days of the revolution, before Lenin seized power. By the time S…

It is still socialism, even if it doesn't work as theoreticized. Flat-earthers are still flat-earthers even though their theory doesn't hold up to reality.

Not quite - only everything US-based, since they fall under the purview of the cloud act, which is incompatible with the GDPR (on purpose.. this is an entirely self-inflicted wound by the US).

> Not quite - only everything US-based No anything with laws similar to the "cloud act", which is the norm rather then the exception, is illegal. It's quite rare for a country to allow companies inside it to say no to there government.

It's not about companies inside it, but companies outside the country. And is it actually the norm? Since clearly even the US didn't have the Cloud Act until 2018. Was the US such a rare case until that recently?

I'm the author, good to see this on HN, raising awareness on the topic I don't know who made the translation and when it was made, but the original article in french ( https://pixeldetracking.com/fr/google-tag-manager-server-sid... ) contains more information on recent GTM "improvements"): mainly on how you can easily change JS library names and detailed instructions on how to host your container in other clouds or s…

Hello pixeldetracking, Excellent article! Bravo. About the translation, yes, it is me! ;)

You think the GDPR is a good idea? Wow, mate, that's quite the detachment from reality. In reality , GDPR is pure nonsense. It's a serious burden for anyone putting up a site. Any site. They all have cookies. All of them. It is so bad, there are now services taking care of this, because it's so much of a bullshit that people need to rely on others to get it right. You'll probably spin this as a net win, right? Becaus…

It seems you're not fully clear on what GDPR is. You could check this page for more info: https://gdpr.eu/what-is-gdpr/ Just as a very brief note: it's not really about cookies, it's more about how companies should store data about people and what kind of rights people have concerning that data.

AND NOBODY FUCKING CARES! THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT!

ALL IT IS

IS AN ANNOYING WINDOW

WHICH HAS TO BE CLICKED AWAY!

That's what I mean by "detached from reality." For you it's something glorified, but the vast majority of humanity do not give a flying fuck and just think it's annoying.

You think this is good!

It's not!

You're just so deep in that bubble, you don't fucking recognize that your bubble isn't actual reality!

Again, go ahead and read the link I posted. You're talking about cookie consent pop-ups, those are not what the GDPR is about at all. Putting a cookie consent pop-up on your website does not make you compliant with the GDPR.

The GDPR is about protecting personal information of EU citizens, giving them rights to demand access to data that is held about them, and giving them rights to request deletion of any personal data that is held about them.

To be super clear, I'm not saying that cookie consent pop-ups are good - I also think they're not really serving any real purpose. But this fact has very little to do with the GDPR!

Care to clarify your question?

What specifically leads you to believe ThalesX has nationalistic/right-wing reasons/attitudes other than the wording of that one phrase he used.

Nothing makes me believe that, why would I do that? That's why I ask you to clarify your question, it does not make sense from my point of view.

You said, in response to ThakesX, who was complaining about people interpreting his attitude as a nationalist one:

  Why should we stop? Where I live (NW Europe) this sentiment..
What "sentiment" are you referring to, that you don't believe you should stop interpreting as right-wing/nationalist.
