Yeah it rolls out slow, should be on 3.6.8 now! 3.6.7 was a day earlier and had a css issue

But there weren't any updates for a while before those, so if people started getting weird behaviour it wasn't an internal change. I blame twitter because their embeds are so, so bad. You're lucky if you even get sound on videos now!!

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Yeah, I used to live in his constituency (Rushcliffe) and met him a few times. He would joke that he has nothing to do with social media, in fact he would write letters with a quill if he could get away with it. For a Tory, actually a pretty nice guy in person. Still took money from fag companies though so gently caress him.

He's also VERY doddery, can't see him anywhere near a position of power, no how much the fubpees wish it.

Edit: In his 2015 election literature he also described himself as the most successful Chancellor in living memory, which is either supremely arrogant or a snide jab at Gideon (or both).

EU GDPR laws require a company to allow you to remove all info about you from their databases.
Or you could report them and they get fined.

GDPR means you can send Twitter a letter asking them to provide you with all the data they have gathered on you AND the data gathered by others while on their site - depending on how it's interpreted this could mean traffic logs with IPs, etc. Sending them a lawyered up letter would have to make some engineers miserable for several days.

The fact that this hasn't been abused yet is nothing short of a miracle - I'm surprised some online group hasn't organised to send these letters en masse and completely shut down a company's IT department for months honestly.

Because as soon as it gets weaponised you can good and guarantee that the people who weaponise it most successfully will be megacorporations using it to murder their competition with legal action, not to mention that shutting down their IT/customer service department doesn't stop them doign stuff, even assuming they don't completely ignore it.

It's not even mutually assured destruction...

I actually work for CS and process GDPR requests.
We have an automatic server, all we do is accept or deny them based on submitted ID.
And you can only have one max at a time, so can't mass spam them on one account.
I guess you could do it with thousands of accounts at once, but it wouldn't bring everything down, just that one server.

But, like, hypothetically, if you did have a couple thousand people - say if you were a small militant trade union or something - would that be an effective way of loving with the bosses?

No, probabl not, it would mostly be a good way of loving with mid-level workers and middle managers, not with capital owners.

They have a month to respond, so unlikely.

The ones that are likely to be hosed over by this are the sites that just blocked EU traffic on GDPR day because
a) They likely still have info on EU citizens (some sites now block me so I can't cancel email subscriptions that were set up while I was in the US)
b) You can still access them via VPNs, and the originating IP makes no difference under GDPR

still, realism at this point would require recognizing that the Commons has thrice demonstrated itself capable of a majority disapproving of some course on Brexit but not in favour of any other course, so the comedy option of simply failing to form a government (and hence going to the ballot box by default, and relying on the generosity of the EU negotiators to extend even beyond the final final deadline, like the most petulant naughty schoolchild) remains a plausible one
