RE: Plausible, you should have checked their compliance and terms and conditions after checking demo and using it. There are some gotchas to be aware of (lack of DPO, being one red flag). Going umami, matomo would have been cheaper and safer.

Can we finally start putting dimwit Apple execs in jail?

It is very close, but it not the same.

https://techgdpr.com/blog/difference-between-pii-and-persona...

> When organisations seek to protect their user’s data, it is necessary that they understand the data they need to safeguard. Personal data, in the context of GDPR, covers a much wider range of information than personally identifiable information (PII), commonly used in North America. In other words, while all PII is considered personal data, not all personal data is PII.

When you say PII in context of GDPR you are simply using wrong term.

PII is not GDPR term. PII is used some US-specific acts, like HIPPA.

Did you mean Personal Data?

If I can avoid retarded Shopify ads, I would seriously consider. It would be nice change from bunch of individual Patreon subscriptions.

Spotify has enough power to say that podcasters should have ad free feed for premium subscribers or get deplatfromed. Obviously I would expect Spotify to pay podcasters.

The idea of paid, premium service with ads is ridiculous.

I could easily pay for WhatsApp if it wasnt Facebook/Meta.

With it being Meta I can be sure I will pay and still have my data and privacy violated.

Omg I literally puke with Shopify ads in podcasts.

Whats the point of paid, premium service like Spotify if I keep being served those stupid, dishonest and bordeline illegally deceiving Shopify ads every 15 minutes.

Ah yes, the circle jerk of HN focuses not on technology or news but how "Europe falls behind". Mods are silent as always.

Oh buddy, step our of your bubble. There are people out there who swear by LLM being a modern day mesahiah. And no, this are not just SV VCs trying to sell their investments.

Exactly.

Use OVH, Hertzner, Scaleway, etc.

Need managed services beyond scope of the above? There will be plenty of business (smaller and larger) offer you managed solution on top of other cloud providers.

Just exclude EU user. Block if from EU access and nobody will touch you.

You want to handle our data?

Obey our rules.

Amazon lied about SCCs before. Now they just change vocabulary.

Nothing changed.

As a US subsidiary, you still fall under FISA and therefore you fail adequate protection of Personal Data.

Encryption does not protect data at runtime. Otherwise AWS is just glorified backup storage of e2ee data.

openplatypus — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 21:50:50 +0000

Smoke and mirrors. As long as they remain subsidiary of AWS in US no level of protection will be sufficient.

MS tried same with their Azure.

This BS on another level.

> Male loneliness epidemic

You are solving a non-existent problem.

There is no "male loneliness epidemic". If anything, there might be a "human loneliness epidemic". This is not a DEI angle on the problem.

Times have changed, societies have changed. But our expectations have not.

It is literally time to grow up to the new reality.

I think Professor Galloway, whom I am generally a fan of, is spreading a narrative based on selective statistics.

New comment by openplatypus in "EU startups fail because their press refuses to hype them up"

openplatypus — Wed, 21 May 2025 11:22:22 +0000

Media coverage is definitely a factor, but the post has some gleaming issues.

> Take excessive regulations for instance, which gets mentioned all the time. If they were such a hindrance to startups, why would American startups succeed in Europe - like Airbnb in our case - and European startups not? We all face the same regulations

Nope, they don't. US companies in Europe generally don't care about EU regulations. Even if we skim over privacy, AirBnB succeeded in Europe despite there being laws preventing short lets in many municipalities.
