So many sites do:

“Here are cookie, advertising, tracking policies. Here is an OK button.”

After not clicking the ok button but attempting to continue:

“You must agree to our tracking policy”

That is explicitly not allowed/illegal under GDPR.

American companies including the Washington Post really have a damn hard time wrapping their head around that an agreement means you can decline to agree to it, and GDRP says refusing to be tracked is not grounds for a site to refuse service.

Mein 2. transfeindliches Erlebnis überhaupt in dieser Stadt, die angeblich so massive Probleme mit Einwanderer*innen "aus vieeeel sexistischeren Kulturen" hat: Zwei weiße Bubis. Beim ersten Mal war's ein weißer Straßenbahner. So was.

Tired: Gender binary

Wired: Gender spectrum

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Kapitalismus oder die eingepflanzte Hybris dass Menschen die viel Geld verdienen, viel Geld _verdienen_.

Wollt ihr mal ganz revolutionär sein? Verteilt Geld um, an Menschen die prekär leben. Bedingungslos. Selbst/Gerade für Luxus.

Und ohne Kekse dafür einzufordern.

This is also interesting from the article.

"Facebook has not fully disclosed the manner in which it pre-processes photos on the iOS camera roll, meaning if a user has any Facebook app installed on their iPhone, then Facebook accesses and analyses the photos the user takes and/or stores on the iPhone, the complainant alleges."

Sounds like FB is in some way processing camera roll images to extract data (location, time, maybe even contents) even when sync is switched off

.

If I could convince Mastodon at large of only one thing, it would be this:

if you see someone complaining, DO NOT give them advice.

If someone ASKS for advice, offer it.

But 90% of the time, someone complaining is just venting. They're not telling you the whole story, and they're not receptive to being given advice, because in that mental state, your "good-natured advice" is their "HERE'S HOW YOU'RE DOING THIS WRONG".

Do not respond with advice unless it's asked for.

Sollte d Rechtsstaat…blamiert dastehen,… wäre das nicht Schuld des Gerichts. Verantwortung hierfür würden Ermittlungsbehörden&Geheimdienste tragen, d umfassende Sachverhaltsaufkl. blockiert haben, um staatl Verstrick. in d Mordserie d #NSU zu vertuschen.

Hey Mastodon, do you know of any cool psychology people who live and work in Germany and hand out hrt indications to trans people after one or two sessions? This system is actively trying to bring me down. I'm nonbinary but I still want T. Any help is greatly appreciated!

TIL: you can hide toots by regex in the web client. #Eurovision

Dear streaming services: I want an option that says "I do not want to watch this under any circumstances and would prefer to never, even once, even be reminded that it exists. Remove all mentions of it from any part of your site that I'm browsing, no matter what your algorithm says. I know my tastes and my tastes say this show should never taint my eyes with its presence."

this is hilarious. The far-right party #afd from #germany just had press conference with all journalists solidary leaving it after one journalist was prohibited to ask questions.

So they canceld their ''press-conference without press''

Achtung! Lektüre macht stinksauer!

sometimes, when people ask a question on social media that could easily be answered with a google search, maybe it's not so much that they're looking for an answer as to make a connection with other people who are also interested in the subject
