Companies operating in Europe must provide a clear way to appeal automated decisions: https://www.edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our-work/publicat...

You might not have a way to actually file a complaint against them but quite often, their legal department will just have a quick look at your case and just give you what you want without bothering to tell you anything. Worth a shot.

It'll also probably shut the mouth of those who think that they know better. This works with the driving license. Start a test with the whole family and watch the older men get a reality check.

Like they give a damn. I report accounts that explicitly sell fake credit cards, citing laws that make it illegal and 95% of the time "we checked and there is no violation here, we know that you're not happy but don't give a crap".

So the argument of security is utter bullshit and they just want to snoop.

I've also used AI to convert a really old legacy app to something more modern. It works surprisingly well.

My recommendation would be to get in touch with their DPO (Data Protection Officer) and invoke the GDPR rule that you have the right to 1. have an explanation as to why an automated decision was made about you, 2. ask for a human review. You are out of the GDPR scope but the legal contact might not bother checking and just restore your account. Getting your data is also a right under GDPR but getting your account back would be a better option. I wouldn't mention this or they'll jump on it.

I'm pretty sure that if you tell them that you're initiating a chargeback, it'll magically resolve itself.

I've been through several startups after GDPR went into effect, it's really not a problem.

Not bad.

If you are managing hospital admissions in Nepal, you have to be able to provide the date in Nepalese calendar and in the common one. And believe me, the Nepalese calendar is a complex one.

In Ethiopia, you'll have to support 13 months but they'll be close enough to common dates that people will manage mentally. But imagine that you have to handle a quarter of 4 months, one of which is 5 or 6 days long.

If someone has a good reference for a properly international picker, I'm all ears.

The advantage I see for the salinity difference is that you can make them a lot larger than the pumped water ones. But is worth it, I'm skeptical.

You probably mean a PHP that can be hosted for cheap. But then, you end up with a Wordpress nightmare, even more spam and security issues.

I had a pretty popular blog and some posts gathered hundreds of useful comments. But I was so tired of fighting spam that I threw it all away and started using Hugo too, without comments.

This is the kind of thing that might be fixed with more people attempting to use it, or it could be another pita like having to install an old wkhtmltopdf for Odoo to use.

It's sadly victim of its success and is quite often over quota to its weather API. We should make a paid version that wouldn't have this problem and bring some monetary karma to Igor

My browser states that I favour English, then French. My user profile on the website has "English" as language. Yet, when I get to the homepage, it tries to guess my language from my IP. NOOOO.
