Such a GNOME thing to say

A fate worse than death

I’m a bit confused by comments on this topic. Do sovereign countries not have the right anymore to decide their own laws and issue punishment when they’re not followed?

Some laws are bullshit and I commend everyone who decides to ignore them.

but if 4chan ignores them, that opens the door for other measures like delisting the site from search engines or blocking access to it from the UK (these two examples are taken from the article)

This has already happened to a number of sites and services, with some voluntarily blocking access from the UK. 4chan’s approach is just a bit different in the way that they are waiting to get blocked instead of doing the blocking themselves. It sucks for citizens from the UK, but they are the ones that put the people in power who created those laws.

Like, to the people saying UK can’t do laws which apply to services which are merely accessible in the UK and have no physical presence there, do you also apply this logic to the GDPR, which works the same way?

This has also been the case already. There are a number of American websites that will just straight up deny you access if you visit them from a EU country. Some even cite GDPR as the reason for being blocked. I don’t think it’s the best solution, but I accept it because I wouldn’t want to visit a site that cannot comply with it anyways.

I know people who were affected when a Windows 10 update just straight up deleted all personal files in 2020.

Nah it has already been allocated to Orban’s private residence.

Probably, but I’m just familiar with Lemmy.

There is no point in making an effort to preserve relations with the US since their clown in chief will just tear down decades of relationships anyways after reading something on Twitter.

All the words that start with n are banned

I’m sorry but that screenshot absolutely sent me. Beyond hilarious

Personally I just want front turn signals to be visible from the opposite side again

Not sure if I read that correctly, but I don’t think this has ever been the case?

On reddit yes, but on the fediverse it’s mostly the people running the servers.

This is a massive loss for the Fediverse.

No automated updates has be the biggest reason for me.

No but the emergency assistant system is required, and for that you need a cell modem.

I don’t think that it has a cell modem, either

So it’s not coming to Europe then.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced…

Pretty sure China would rather have a different neighbor. North Korea keeps getting propped up because nobody wants to deal with a nuclear capable nation collapsing and the absolutely massive refugee crisis it would cause. The Chinese govt is not too friendly with the Kim dynasty, even less so since they intensified their relations with Russia.
