Wait, that’s illegal legal

Fixed that for you

I literally just finished season 1 today. Thanks Janet

I think that if, in good faith, the person is unable to accept more CSAM due to the fact that their hard drive is full, there isn’t an issue. The intent of the law is that, it someone knows something is CSAM, they need to report it. I don’t think the government is going to come hard on Lemmy server owners unwittingly receiving CSAM through federation (though they certainly would want them to report and take down the CSAM on their servers)

Be careful with this though. I think I remember some jurisdictions require server owners not to delete CSAM and report it instead. Verify that you aren’t obligated to keep it before deleting it

Apple just claimed an exception. It’s still up to the EU to determine whether it is actually exempt or not.

Airlines are well known to price flights awkwardly in response to the market. They often price connecting flights lower than direct flights, even if that direct flight is part of the connecting itinerary. It is alleged that they use client data (generic such as time of day or specific such as device/location) to reprice their flights, but I think the limitations of the GDS¹ prevent this from happening.

What companies want to do is sell their product at the maximum price each client is willing to pay. This is already done in some ways by intentionally segmenting the market, such as by having multiple cabins on trains and planes, despite them all providing fundamentally the same service (transportation from point A to point B). More data from each client helps them target the cost of their product to each client and maximize their revenue.

I wouldn’t be surprised if user data is used more in the future to price products, especially as AI is getting more and more capable.

Docker is a container platform. Docker Engine is the container host for Linux and Docker Desktop uses a virtual machine to run Docker Engine and containers in that VM.

For example, if you use Docker Desktop on Windows, Docker Desktop will run Docker Engine in a WSL2-based VM and then run containers inside that.

Dank je voor deze artikelen. Ik ben tevreden dat ik kan deze soort berichten verstaan, maar moet ik misschien meer Nederlands praten en lezen om het te verbeteren.

Yeah but Docker Desktop uses a VM, either in WSL2 or Hyper-V. Docker Engine on Linux doesn’t use a VM and that’s what’s typically used for hosting services.

Oh that’s good to know, thanks. Then the original post makes sense. Thanks :)

I’m studying the Dutch language. I’ve heard ‘werk ze’ and I can somewhat understand the post but not enough to get what it actually means. What is ‘werk ze’ supposed to actually mean and where is it used?

I like the increase in competition, but my concern is for the 90+% of users who really don’t know what they’re doing. Can we be sure that all these alternative app stores will properly enforce security through their apps? At least the iOS app store and Google Play have some standards regarding apps that are actual malware, but could we trust every company to do this?

The “anti-consumer” approach of restricting apps that violate standards may very well be the best one for most people. I support the DMA and the right to sideload but I’m concerned about the impact it will have. Maybe we’ll go back to the early 2000s days of PC malware.

I’m glad to have moved from a country where taxes and (high) expected tips are on top of the price, to a country where tax is included in the price and tips are usually not expected. It makes a surprising difference in affordability when you can actually buy a €5 item with €5.

As soon as companies started asking for tips at self check-out, it became obvious that it’s just a way of trying to underpay their staff and shift that responsibility on the customer.
