But it's the first real attempt at protecting privacy on the internet. There is a lot that I would like to see changed. There are more aspects to the GDPR, but you clearly don't care.
People can then decide whether the service is worth the privacy invasion. Services have to more transparent on how they use your data. It was intended to add features for users, now it's used for tracking. Sure, cookies have also existed in the 90s, but their usage has changed. Good thing that the GDPR also enforces that those have to be off by default. And you had no way of knowing or even disagreeing before the GDPR was introduced. Sometimes you have to scroll for minutes. They will never click "more information" and see that many sites don't only do a little bit of tracking, but instead share your data with several third parties. They will simply click "allow all" thinking that a little bit of tracking is not that bad. There are people like you who don't care about their privacy. The only thing you see is a cookie warning. You clearly have no clue what the GDPR is about. If you don't want to comply with GDPR, simply block all european IP addresses (and lose all the revenue that european users create). The GDPR not only applies to all european services, but to all services that have european users. I'm not a lawyer, but I know for certain that any information on the internet has been exported from its country of origin and everytime it's viewed or downloaded, it's imported. The USA is not the center of the world and doesn't automatically own everything. It is completely unusable on a slow internet connection, which means I can't even get in the site to even THINK about contributing anything, let alone actually downloading the code.Wrong. That site is pretty much the dictionary definition of how a web site should not be designed, starting from the very beginning with the hCaptcha which is indisputably the world's worst CAPTCHA.

I can however offer some more useful advice-please take your code off the flaming pile of garbage that is Gitlab. Actually, it applies to noone who does not allow it to apply to them.

What, this website uses cookies? You're kidding! It's not like those have been used since the 90s or anything. So now you not only get tracked the same way you always did, you have to explicitly agree to it in order to get the nag to go away. Because of these idiots we now have a stupid popup at the bottom of every page with a cookie warning. It's ludicrous.įurthermore, these people and their ilk seem hell bent on sucking the life out of the internet. Imagine, the idea that you will be able to prevent anyone from tracking you on the internet if they really want to. The code is based in the USA, right? Ignore that ridiculous law.

Not sure how I can help in any way with the release process, given the constraints of my 1G GSM connection (also explained above), and also given that there's actually nothing stopping this release from happening, other than this GDPR nonsense. As whats-his-name on Big Bang Theory would say, "Less than useless." It's only yet another example of how the internet is going to hell in a handbasket. In reality, all it does it add an annoying popup on the screen, thus requiring the client to explicitly agree to being tracked in order to make the nag go away. those who have any dignity.)Īs explained above, GDPR does absolutely nothing to stop tracking. GDPR only applies to Europe. Does not apply to USA at all, or to Xonotic.
