No, a million is cost of doing business. Once you get into single digit percentage fines, you’re hurting them. Or do you expect shareholders to say, “ah, that’s fine, that’s just the EU, we’re gonna hold Meta stock because we like them”?

Another thing to consider is that it’s also about how many of those fines can the company absorb. Fine them a million? They can take a thousand of those before it even starts making a dent. But how many of the 1% fines can they take? 5? 10? 20?

That’s a choice, my choice is to back away or use an anonymous window and accept the tracking if I really want to see the content.

It’s just another paywall, it just gives you the option of paying with your data. It’s your choice what’s more valuable.

But I get it, people want choices shoved down their throats, they don’t want to actually choose. That’s why paywall is fine, but paywall with free-with-tracking-option is the big bad. No one forces you to give your consent, give it or don’t, it’s up to you.

You don’t want the choice to consent, you want to be angry at someone about something.

I obviously meant ads that track you, didn’t know I have to spell it out. So to clarify, I was talking about the tracking kind of ads which need user consent. My point was that giving consent or paying is fine in my book, because you have a choice and no one is entitled to a free service. And that even if DMA decides it’s not, it doesn’t concern anyone but a few select companies.

To be fair, I’m like 80% sure it was perfectly clear in the original comment as well.

1.46 billions of iOS users as of 2023. And 100 million MacOS users.

I disagree, no one is by law obligated to provide free services for you. Either pay or have ads is fine by me.

And DMA does not care about your local newspaper site, unless they’re so big that they’re a gatekeeper. Ruling based on DMA does not affect anyone but the gatekeepers.

It’s sad that this is considered malicious at all. Seriously, either working from home is a risk for your company or it isn’t, there’s nothing in between.

I mean, I’ve travelled a bit and it is tiring. For me. It might not be for you, but really, your experience is not other people’s experience.

I wouldn’t really call chronic back pain a preconceived anxiety, but you do you.

Just accept that your lifestyle isn’t good for everyone. You found something that works well for you, congrats! Doesn’t mean you found some huge secret on how to make everyone’s life better.

Both, tbh. I’m not a workaholic, but I really like my work, so I’d get bored if I didn’t work. And I have a pretty sweet work-life balance.

Travelling I like of course, but not too often, I have a really expensive mattress to help alleviate my chronic back pain and sleeping somewhere else is not a pleasant experience. So doing it once in a while is fine, doing it regularly would suck.

And last but not least, lately I like my peace and quiet, constant travelling would not go well with that.

Well, both of you didn’t include ™ so they’re probably gonna sue your ass into the ground until you’re homeless and/or owing them millions. Such a nice company.

So any advice on how to do it? Sounds intriguing. Not that I’d want to have that lifestyle, but still curious.

Heh, indeed I wrote a proper code to calculate the day, it’s called Zeller’s congruence and feels like magic.

What algorithm did you use?

Thank you!

Just a calendar to hang on the fridge. To be fair, my main reason for doing it was to see if it’s possible. Do you have any other use cases in mind?

It doesn’t currently, don’t know if it’s possible like that. But you can input your own holidays, which is what I did for the screenshots.

Cry me a river, perhaps?

How am I supposed to answer a stupid question like that? Should I elaborate or what? They asked a stupid question, they got a stupid answer, end of story. Look through my history if you fancy so, I’m not a troll, I’m just tired of people like you. I’m all grown up, so guess I’ll have to fuck off. Not engaging with you does not sound that bad.

At least I’m not too disgusting, otherwise I might go around and start calling people names online to feel like a big boy. I’m tired of you tools supporting terrorists and somehow pretending that’s fine because Israel is bad.

Everything before the “but” doesn’t count, you know?
