  • LinkedIn locks your GDPR rights behind a paywall

  • There were a few sites that would run scripts for you during Rexxit. The one I used would poison your data at random times over a few days to be sure of infecting backups. The last round was a deliberate violation of the TOS and offensive enough to force them to remove it immediately. Worked like a charm, as I recall.

  • Had an account there -- briefly -- 10? years ago. Deleted it as soon as I noticed my employer's personnel office activity and posting non-existent "jobs." Realized that LinkedIn is only useful as a data harvester and HR honeypot.

  • I can see good arguments on both sides. On one hand, the current mechanic hands every member state a veto on everything. On the other, if too many members get dragged into domestically unpopular adventures by a foreign majority, other countries will withdraw, either formally or by simply refusing to participate in Brussels.

    Then again, given that one of the Heritage Foundation’s (ahem) “Trump Administration’s” stated goals is to dismantle the EU, perhaps Merz’s government are simply useful idiots

  • And they’re providing cover for authoritarian urges in Europe and the US, being nominally part of the “West”

  • In my defense, it was before dawn here. I’ll do better next time :D

    FWIW, I generally agree with you about “Why bother?” With regard to Americans. We seem to have become a population dominated by zealots of one ilk or another in all the federally overrepresented states. It’s exhausting.

    Most days, I think the US would be better off if Cornwallis hadn’t surrendered.

    And yet, here you are. Feel free to stop at any time

  • Australia are headed to Chinese style authoritarianism at this rate. Why not go ahead and nationalize everything and make it outright illegal for average citizens to participate in the world? Doing it all at once will save time.

    <smh>

  • Nice ASSumption. Actually, yeah, I’d say exactly the same. Human rights are human rights. Fortunately, it isn’t up to people like you to decide who gets them
