  • *For small values of 5.

  • Ich hoffe, feddit user, die gerade auf anderen Instanzen browsen, finden diesen Post.

    Der Admin von feddit.de hat in diesem Post geschrieben, was gerade los ist. Darin steht auch, dass nur das Frontend betroffen ist. Man kann also noch nach feddit posten, es brauch nur eine andere App. Für’s Web benutze ich gerade alexandrite.app

    ———

    I’ll leave this here in the hope that feddit users see this on other instances.

    First: The admin says what happened in this post (German).

    Second: The backend is working, so you can still post to feddit, but you need to use a different UI. I’m currently using the web interface Alexandrite.

  • The tweet:

    (Is the preview working for you? For me, it’s not).

    The game is called geoguessing and those who do this regularly are crazy good at it, taking into account the kind of trees you see, where the sun and shadows are, even the color of the dirt and the pavement.

    Tom Scott did something similar and was frightened too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGqEBvlmFAQ&pp=ygUSdG9tIHNjb3R0IGZvdW5kIHVz

  • Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.

  • Sounds like a win to me. If making the list gives you motivation, this might help overcome the initial inertia.

  • If you really do want to do something, but can’t get your limbs to move, try making a list. Crossing things off that helps providing motivation.

  • Die tun schon. Die tun alles rückgängig machen, wofür andere (und sie selbst, verdammte Scheiße) jahrelang gearbeitet haben.

  • Pfft. Bei mir fliegt alles – alles – bei 40° rein.

  • *has a second fucking wall built.

  • Another succinct quote: “The brain learns during the breaks.” Repeating the same thing uninterrupted in order to learn it won’t help.

  • I’m not sure which meaning of ‘should be able to be voided’ you’re using. Do you mean ‘Why do think it’s legal to void it’ or ‘Why do you think it’s legitimate to be able to void it’?

    In the first case: My employment contract does exactly this. It’s become kind of a default clause in contracts. Researching this you’ll find a lot of websites (in German) that say that the clause is ‘abdingbar’ (which I translated as ‘voidable’).

    In the second case: I didn’t say I thought it legitimate, and I don’t have a strong opinion on this.

  • I mean dude you’re defending Meta, arguably the single worst company when it comes to respecting user data and privacy

    That’s argumentum ad hominem. If the law means what you think it means, it applies whether we’re talking about EvilCorp or SaveTheWhaleChildrenBeeFluff.

    Also recall the very first thing I said on this topic:

    I’m all for GDPR and really enjoy its protections, but I don’t understand this one.

    I’m playing devil’s advocate in order to gain insight, because I have no clue how this board reaches its conclusions.

  • I can’t find the word ‘unbiased’ in the GDPR. All it asks for is consent:

    1. Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

    a) the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

    In the case of facebook, the user gives consent for the purpose of being served targeted advertising in exchange for the provided service.

    [Edit:] Found something:

    When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, […] the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract. Article 7, paragraph 4 GDPR

    So the question of whether the pay-or-consent model is legal hinges upon the question of whether payment (in any form) is “necessary for the performance of that contract“.

  • Are there any rights you think should supersede contracts? If so, how do you draw the line between rights that do and don’t?

    (I’ll answer your question in a comment side-chain, just because you asked.)

    Germans have the right to continued wage payments if they need to take care of family members (§616 BGB). However, that right can be voided in the employment contract.

    (§618 BGB) essentially states that the work environment must be reasonably safe. This cannot be voided by contract, as is codified in (§619 BGB).

    These are just instances. I do not know any general rules for the precedence of contracts over the law or vice versa.

  • Are there any rights you think should supersede contracts?

    That is beside the point I’m making. Facebook acknowledges the right to privacy by giving you the choice to pay for the service rather than giving up your data. In my view, this should be completely acceptable by the GDPR. No-one is forcing you to sign up to facebook, so you do have a completely free choice to (1) either not give up your data and not use facebook; or (2) not give up your data and pay for the service; or (3) give up your data and pay for the service that way.

  • You have the right to not own a car. But if you do, you must have insurance for it (in Germany, at least). You cannot hide behind GDPR and say “I have a right to my data. I must not be asked to give it to any insurer without my consent.” You also need to have a driver’s license with your name and photo on it. GDPR doesn’t protect you there, either.

    The bottom line is: Using a product may come with responsibilities or other concessions. You have the right to not use the product if the concessions aren’t worth it to you. You do not have the right to any product if you refuse the obligations that come with it.

    This is, of course, my own opinion based on my understanding of how the world should work.

  • If I understand you correctly, you’re making the same argument as !snooggums@midwest.social above, so I’ll copy answer to them here:

    That is a completely different issue. On the one hand, meta does collect data on people who do not have an account. This is simply illegal, since that collection is neither necessary nor consented to. The EU should finally put a stop to that.

    On the other hand we have the voluntary relationship a user enters with facebook by creating an account. This is what the article is about and what I was referring to in my comment – the “binary choice between paying for a service and consenting to their personal data being used to provide targeted advertising”
