I don't know about the rest of EU, but in France for some reason it was decided that this type of choice, i.e. "pay a subscription or accept all trackers", was in the spirit of GDPR.

I think it's bullshit, but hey, it helped me choose whose services I will never use any more (really, most of those were already shit before they tried to pull that one, no big surprise here).

Should have asked for an avocado instead, you never know when you'll need a lawyer.

(I have no idea if this works in Portuguese, Russian or whatever. It does in French and almost in Spanish, there was a joke about that in Netflix Daredevil.)

Please stop carrying huge glass panels around for no reason, that's not a safe thing to do.

At first I was thinking, a bit of human supervision could not be too bad. And then I got to the part where they said 1.5 workers per vehicle. My maths may be off, but to me that sounds like 0.5 more than is necessary to drive a normal vehicle.

Theranos? Maybe, but at that point, I'd compare it to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_Turk too.

Yeah. And sites are still more than happy to show those in the popup, just to muddy the waters and make it more complicated than it needs to be. Same with "legitimate interests".

It is kind of a miss, yeah. Missing both the prehistoric axe and what happens when the pictures are superimposed. They reveal it in the article, but check the linked paper in the article for the illustration.

That's what I was going to say. Nowadays I only end up on Reddit when a search points there, and only when all other options have led nowhere.

Every time the Reddit browser experience is there to remind me why this is the last place I check.

Except, you know, we're talking people who are progressively desensitized to reality. So no, that's not comparable at all.

I am of the kind that is very wary with what should or should not be an AI's job, and you know what, in this very particular case, I think I agree.

At least as a first filter, anyway.

People that are completely desensitized to that kind of stuff would probably not be very good at moderating it really.

Also this is a terrible job and I'd be very worried if a company was paying and enabling people who find that fun. It's horrible, but trauma is the normal outcome.

Interesting. I am going to try the free version and if with the better UI it also has stuff like better archive support than default explorer, I don't mind too much buying the app to support it honestly. My desktop is usually a huge mess of flying windows.

I am seeing a "Files App" by "Yair A", it's €9 for me. Is that the program you are talking about?
