Pfff

I code in PowerPoint

What show?

I haven’t haven’t worked with those either, just saying that it COULD make sense to have chain drive there

and riding lawn tractors use belts.

The drivetrain to the driving wheels (usually rear) can still be with a chain.

Man I wish Orban and his crew went to visit Titanic

Oh, Hitler wasn’t dumb, just evil to the core. Trump is dumb as the left foot boot AND evil to the core.

Edit: I guess I was wrong

Yeah “legitimate interest” seem to be abused a lot

Copypasting here answer to similar question in superuser.com

Under GDPR there are 6 grounds based on which anybody can process personal data. Those are:

• Consent

  You explicitly agreeing to it. This needs to be opt-in, informed, specific and freely given, but also gives the greatest freedom to a company.

• Contract

  This is the basis which raj’s answer confused with legitimate interests. This is the processing that is required to fulfil a contractual obligation (note that contracts do not always need to be signed, e.g. an order from an eshop).

  need to process someone’s personal data:

  • to deliver a contractual service to them; or
  • because they have asked you to do something before entering into a contract (eg provide a quote).

• Legal obligation

• Vital interests

• Public task

• Legitimate interests

  Legitimate interests are the most flexible lawful basis for processing personal data. In the words of the UK’s ICO 1:

  It is likely to be most appropriate where you use people’s data in ways they would reasonably expect and which have a minimal privacy impact, or where there is a compelling justification for the processing.

  Source: ico.org.uk (worth reading!!!)

  The underlying text from the GDPR itself (definitions and links added are mine)

  processing is necessary for the purposes [=a specific minimal type of processing] of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller [=the company wanting to process your data] or by a third party except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject [=you] which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

  Source: GDPR Article 6(1f)

  So basically a legitimate interest claim by a company is them saying ‘we are convinced that our interest outweigh the negligible impact on the privacy of the people whose data we process’. This doesn’t give them a free pass though, as GDPR also gives the right to object

  The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point [public interest] or [legitimate interest] of Article 6(1), including profiling based on those provisions.

  Source: GDPR Article 21(1)

  Which then require the company to either concede and stop the processing or justify their claim. Companies in practise have taken this to mean they can basically just do a bunch of processing and as long as they make the objection process (=opt-out) easy enough the theory is that they will get away with it.

Notes:

1 The UK left the EU, but they still have by far the best English language resource explaining GDPR and for the time being “UK GDPR” matches “EU GDPR” one on one as far as I am aware

Oldschool Runescape

Didn’t grindr have recently some shit that they were selling the confidential user data forward?

In the same class as poophole loophole

There’s a bunch of old texts about a Jewish “prophet” called Jesus, who was gathering some followers. As far as I understand, there’s no really reason not to believe the person existed.

Then again, all the Jesus lore, there’s no reason to believe his miracles were real as those made no sense and there’s no real proof besides those same texts written after Jesse’s death

There’s a ton of evidence in internet about a pregnant Sonic

Probably not any more unsafe than Windows in general. Microsoft already steals all your data, so not sure why you’d be more scared of a script that you can inspect to know exactly what it does

Yeah it’s a bit poking fun, but you have some extreme temperature swings wherever you live :o

Just wanted to comment on this bit.

• Gloves are more important than helmet, on the couple of fall I got, gloves protected my hands, while my head didn’t hit. However, if you’re in a severe accident a helmet can make the difference so I still recommend one.

Gloves will save you from very annoying and painful scratches on your hands, but helmet can save you from becoming vegetable or dead. I don’t think there’s any competition for which is more important, helmet any day.

Still, definitely recommend both but at very least a helmet

I’ll just comment on the con list

• look like an annoying dork (esp w neon - which also hurts the quaint factor)

You don’t have to wear Lycra to bike commute. Comfy shorts, T-shirt and trainers is fine

• have to wear a helmet (^)

Get a decent helmet, it’s way less annoying when the helmet is breathing well and sits on your head properly.

• getting sweaty, potentially “unpresentable” for work

Yeah this is pretty annoying. Best advice I can give is to have your stuff sacked into a bag attached to your bike (handlebar bag, pannier, etc). Backpack prevents the airflow in your back and causes ton of sweating

• still have to find safe parking

No comment on this one, as European I’ve never found myself in a situation where parking a bike is anything but fine

• still takes a while

May take longer but is 267% (I measured) more fun than a car

• have to find new routes to places

This should be a pro

• can’t listen to music or might die

Headphones with transparency mode on are great for cycling

• little meaningful protection against severe injury

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen seen studies suggesting bike commute lowers the chance of injury on average due to the health gains. Or something, not bothering to search for it now. Also I think this might be a bit eurocentric, since the bikelanes are not that great on many other places

• can only carry so many groceries/etc

If you plan on carrying a week worth of groceries for a family of 3, then cargo bike might just be for you. Otherwise, daily shop visits for what’s needed are fine with bicycle bags or basket

• sucks in winter

Attitude issue. I love cycling in winter
