This was ONE GUY??? What a legend! I hope his family knows the giant positive impact he’s had on so many people, and is able to find some sort of comfort knowing he will be missed by so many strangers. A true tragedy.

The company said the changes are for users in the European Union, in response to evolving EU regulatory feedback

Sounds like a petulant child throwing a tantrum for being told ‘no’.

minimal set of data points including a person’s age, location, gender, and how a person engages with ads.

Sounds like they’re skirting the regulation.

allowing people to connect with the brands and products that are most relevant to them.

“Connecting with brands and products” is not even remotely close to why people use social media.

Tf are they going on about?!

I think I’ve seen this plot in the movie I Am Legend.

I don’t agree with all of this. I agree with the investigation. I agree with the ban. I don’t agree with waiting for anything. Ban it, irrespective of the investigation. It’s a cesspool, and no investigation is going to fix that.

I agree completely with your comment. Including the rage at the end lol

Ah. Sorry. I misunderstood ‘tenants’ in terms of the civiz who would rent the tiny flat, and not as the businesses who would rent the entire floor.

No. It’s not a lack of existing housing. It’s lack of available housing. Millions of homes sitting empty, owned by these firms as investment properties.

That’s kind of the definition of a slum lord, though, isn’t it?

Exactly. Not sure how slum lord flats are the solution here, when investment firms are sitting on millions of empty homes.

While true, in the USA, there are millions of “investment homes” owned by investment firms, all sitting empty, driving down supply and driving up costs. The solution to the housing market in this instance isn’t to increase the availability of 150sqft slum lord flats, but instead to significantly decrease the number of “investment homes” an entity is allowed to own [and to restrict its use (for example, it must not sit empty for more than 6 months)].

Careful, Users. TMobile is large enough to go the Boeing route, and start making people disappear. Then, Users, your Lifetime Price Lock will be literally void.

Although, it would also be void if tmo died–err… disappeared…

There’s always the possibility that they’ll improve the status quo.

I added it as an edit to the original. It didn’t work. “Could not fetch” was the error. That’s fine. I am using the rss anyway : )

So it works with Lemmy handles? Sweet! I’m trying now.

Edit: Doesn’t work. “Could not fetch”. That’s ok, I’ll use the rss for now : )

Right, but what would me my handle? My Lemmy handle?

Edit: I downloaded FeedFlow just to add the rss lol.

Not sure, but when you find out, post here. I’ll join!

I tried, but it tells me to provide a handle, which I don’t have on podcast.james.network. Maybe I misunderstood?

Security <> privacy. And this is where they slice the difference. Although, they’re not secure, either lol
