There are more productive ways of phrasing that if you want people to take it seriously.

Or maybe it’s time to recognise that Apple’s business model is neo-mercantilism and fundamentally incompatible with both a free and fair market, and kick them out of Europe.

If you want to include CGI Latvia is going through a Flow-mania after winning the Oscars. I would be surprised if they don’t have merchandise for it already.

This map is still useful to remind everyone that Auchan is an amoral American style corporation that keeps doing doing it’s best to keep a fascist country attacking Europe well supplied.

The current UK government refused even something as simple as free movement for university students. And the changes in European policy have been almost cosmetic.

UK voted for this, and not just in the referendum. Every time Brits get the choice they picked politicians that treat Europeans as outsiders. If you are out you are out, you can’t peek back in when there’s money on the table.

Some Piri-piri sauce brands are in the same ball park of hotness as Tabasco and it’s rare for them to be much hotter.

The flavour profile is a bit different but not as much as Sriracha for example.

“Needs client app” is a funny way of saying it “supports open protocols as first class citizens”.

I’m biased, but I prefer Portuguese piri-piri sauce to Tabasco. If you want something fancier I can also recommend Crazy Bastard sauces which are made in Berlin…

Your instance has data covered by GDPR, but the data it sends to other instances is covered by the same exceptions as the data you send in a email. Without exceptions for legimitate interests it would be illegal to send an email from, say, mailbox to Gmail or Yandex Mail.

But simply transmitting it for the purposes of making the protocol work, falls under legimitate purposes, like sending an email to email server in China

No, things like your home address, your IP address, birth date, health conditions, religion, etc are PII.

Upvotes almost certainly falls into “legitimate purposes” since the data is required for moderation.

GDPR doesn’t include things you choose to make public, otherwise no social media could show your posts or username to anyone. My only doubt about Lemmy and Mastodon is about DMs where people have a reasonable expectation that they are private but they are not.

Edit: and thinking about it, even DMs probably fall into the same exception as email.

Mastodon and Lemmy don’t actually share any data actually protected by GDPR, unless the users actively make it public (like using their real name).

The game is Caravan Stories, and it’s only mentioned in the 3rd paragraph, with the rest of the article being SEO bait. I hope any reporter writing articles like this steps on a Lego with a foot, trips, and steps on a British power plug with the other the foot at least once a week.

The qobuz store has DRM free downloads.

Mercantilism and colonization with a side of serfdom and slavery. AKA the true conservative dream.

You would still need to deal with products made by Beverage Co GmbH owned by Beverage Holdings Ireland LTD owned indirectly through 50 different holdings and board members personal shares by Great American Reich Beverages Inc from Trump Creek, Florida. Ownership is not always linear.

The problem is that usually American brands have a cop-out because their products are manufactured in Europe, both for economic reasons and to adjust the product to local tastes - American Coca Cola tastes vile if you didn’t ruin your taste buds on a HFCS diet. And they do this through European subsidiaries, so any labeling scheme would need to deal with controlling interests and that’s when things become really complicated from a legal perspective.

The advantage of informal boycott schemes is that they don’t need to deal with technicalities like a formal scheme would.

Oh look, it’s broken watch is right twice a day o’clock.
