@pluralistic

Well, we wouldn't have words like "Enshittification" now if you had joined Microsoft.

@eff

@br00t4c No you don't. You elect them to Office.

@tagesschau Ich habe meinen Account "geparkt", nutze die Packstation gar nicht mehr, da es ohne Appzwang nicht geht.
Ich bin seit der Betaphase dabei, aber sowas unterstütze ich ganz und gar nicht.

@jcast

Noone has ever done that. That's why we have that greenwashing all over the place, in all sectors of the industry.
Noone is checking and holding them accountable to their commitments.

@eff @cmcsherr @washingtonpost

Yeah, not on my watch. And certainly not on my PC or on my phone.

Also Google wants me to create an account so i can continue watching videos on Youtube, which i have done for the last 10+ years without ever been accused of being a robot. There will be world peace before that happens.

Yes, i listened to Kraftwerk, but that doesn't count, right?

@pluralistic Sir, you're a spammer! 39? Really?

But damn, i like your articles! So don't stop.

@eff I don't know where the problem is. LEAVE YOUR FCKING PHONE AT HOME OR TURN IT OFF.
That simple.
Solution for years and any circumstance where you do not want to be tracked. Simply have nothing on you which can be tracked. Oh, and have some cash on you.

Lawmakers must act now? Really? What about common sense first? Works immediately until the lawmakers have a ruling in 5-10 years for this issue.

@aral

Well, i guess you had your data exported before deactivation. Why not send a separate email for every post you made, asking them to delete the 'specific data', namely the post?

I think everybody should do that after deletion. See if they react a little more forthcoming when the inbox gets flooded. And why do they think that article 17 doesn't apply to them? The only loophole i see is that they call on article 17 p.3d, for archieving purposes. But that would be a stretch before court.

@azonenberg What made me really hickup regarding EV was not the self-driving capability but the fact that the manufacturer has complete control over the vehicle you're driving. There was a report of a car chase, police chasing a Tesla, and the police basically called Tesla and they then remotely turned off the engine, enabling the police capture the guy.
I will never drive a car which can be controlled remotely and i'm not in charge. And i will never pay for a subscription to use seat heaters.

@MissingThePt need to repost this, don't know where i got it from.
Explains everything😂
