I thought I was in linuxmemes

Thank you. That is a good explanation.

Okay, I understand so far.

What I am struggling with is the limitations of duristriction.

So the EU finds the Australian company in breach of their rules. They send a notice of intent to pursue damages to the Australian company. And they tell the EU to kick rocks.

Surely laws made up in one country don’t apply in all. The internet makes this a muddy area, as it’s fully connected and nothing is stopping Joe in Netherlands from signing up to a service hosted in Vietnam. The Vietnam company can just ignore GDPR, ignore requests, ignore fines.

Thanks. Seems the image is working now as well :)

So say a local Australian software company tells you to get fkd. What can the EU regulator do?

I get “the image cannot be displayed as it contains errors”

Can’t a non EU holder of your data tell you to kick rocks?

The guy is 87 years old. I hope he is living a happy retirement.

I think instead of asking where JK is, e should be discussing who the next iconic star is.

I’m pleasantly surprised the number of replies on Lemmy saying they used this service. It’s nice to know that there are some old people on here, like me :)

Highly likely English isn’t their first language

Looks like doomsday pizza

What if the games were part of a tournament, it’s related, and still means the same.

And TIL they made more seasons

Or a good time that ends with a bit of sucking. Hmmmm :D

Yeah I dig that. I just feel if it’s an experience made up of multiple parts, just because the last one wasn’t as good shouldn’t distract from the rest. Like if you go bowling and you win every day 4 times in a row but came 3rd on the 5th day, it was still a good time overall.

If you go into life only wanting to experience perfection (not quite the word I’m looking for, but it will do) and avoiding anything less, you would be consciously missing out on great times.

Exactly. Why ever gave a good time if it might be a little sucky at the end.

The wire from the plug to the device isn’t the same size as that in the wall. So you can have a device cable melt and light on fire without tripping the main fuse. A fuse in the plug prevents this.

Your edit is assuming they’re isn’t a fuse at the central side. Of course there is a main fuse. And it is sized based on the limits of the wires in the wall

Still not nearly as safe. Leaving it up to the home owner to replace the fuse/breaker for each circuit each time a device of a different amp requirement is used is very… naive? The manufacturer of the device shipping the item with the fuse that matches requirement is easier and safer. It may have been born from the ring mains requirement but it’s much safer because of it.

The governance has a secret system.

It didn’t contradict though. That’s the thing about whataboutism, there is no contradiction, just another subject used to distract from the conversation. You literally replied to the OP of this thread with a distraction in an attempt to lesson the severity of one group compared to the other.
