Thank you. That is a good explanation.

Okay, I understand so far.

What I am struggling with is the limitations of duristriction.

So the EU finds the Australian company in breach of their rules. They send a notice of intent to pursue damages to the Australian company. And they tell the EU to kick rocks.

Surely laws made up in one country don’t apply in all. The internet makes this a muddy area, as it’s fully connected and nothing is stopping Joe in Netherlands from signing up to a service hosted in Vietnam. The Vietnam company can just ignore GDPR, ignore requests, ignore fines.

So say a local Australian software company tells you to get fkd. What can the EU regulator do?

Can’t a non EU holder of your data tell you to kick rocks?

VMWare Workstation is free now.

The governance has a secret system.

Whilst it’s a shame this implementation sucks, I wish we would get intelligent traffic light controls that worked. Sitting at a light for 90 seconds in the dead of night without a car in sight is frustrating.

I’ve used Linux for decades but not for desktop usage. I work with Linux every day.

I recently purchased a high end workstation to act as a hypervisor for multiple desktop systems. The plan was to boot into a Linux system and then from there load up one of many desktop OS and work seamlessly within a VM. This has worked well on a Windows host with VMWare Workstation and allows me as a contractor to have separation of configuration between customers.

However I found Linux desktop to have too many glitches. From failed package installs, multiple monitor problems and some special keys being sent to both VM and host. I also found the user interface of some apps to be bad, which I can look past but with the other fundamental issues it added a bad taste to the experience. I really want it to work and I do go back every now and then to try again.

I wish there were more popular Linux memes, the constant flood of anti Windows stuff is getting old. Surely there are some great (or bad) stuff about Linux that is just as meme worthy.

Hey come on. You sound far too reasonable.

Don’t you know this is the KDE community where we discuss topics about KDE hate on Windows.

This is what I use today. However spammers can easily remove the plus address to send email normally so isn’t quite so effective.

What frustrates me is so many websites strip the ‘+’ from the address, either as inline JavaScript or even worse, after submission.

Back when I used self hosted mail, I wrote an extension that requested a new alias based on the domain of the website.

Like website.net_d5g4j8@mydomain.com

If the site got compromised I would update the random characters.

I still have 800+ aliases left over from this. But after moving to hosted mail I never updated the extension.

Linux updates are much superior, but Windows updates have not taken more than 5 minutes for me for a long time.

I just hate all the reboots. Linux can update everything, even kernels now, and no downtime. Reminds me of crap home internet routers: “oh you changed the date&time? Then I gotta reboot”

Maybe we should make windowsmemes.

This community may as well be hatewindowsmemes

Like muhyb says it’s likely because EU don’t allow this.

That may be it.

I have never seen an ad. I’ve not put any effort into debloat. It’s this all just bs?

Edit: Plenty of down votes for asking a question. Great community guys.

But was copper an invention

But did you hear about SLICED bread!??

What about Shrek
