Re:Notorious ‘Hijack Factory’ Shunned from Web on Thursday July 12, 2018 @12:51PM (#17516423)
Not sure they've changed that much since. I have a mail server, and while it's not blacklisted by any of the bigger ones (MS, Google and so on), my whole /24 block(!) is on the blacklist of whoever is providing spam filtering to Slackware (signed up for their mailing lists while I was still using Google as a mail provider).

Because the provider says: "If you are on a network that is known for allowing email marketing to occur, you may be out of luck as well. If you aren't doing email marketing consider a different network."[0] I haven't yet gone through and actually contacted them especially since my IP is included in their "worst" category[1]. It's also the only place I've had a problem with so far, so not worth the hassle yet.

And I find it the best part, just because I want to use a service from you doesn't give you the right to muck about with my data for other reasons than to provide that service and the GDPR makes that explicit.

Wait, weren't dialogues that force you to give consent for non core parts of the experience forbidden under the GDPR? As in, you can't force people to consent by witholding service if they don't?
That makes me wonder, is there already something akin to Project Gutenberg but for music rather than books? Would be interesting to browse.

Noticed the same, here's a link to the google cache: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http:/...

Seemed to work well enough there.

From what I remember, you need to click "Learn more" in the "Deactivate your account" text which will take you to a help page that allows the deletion of the account as well. But yes, it is very much hidden and not meant to be found.
Consent. In a proper/safe environment the prostitute has the option of declining a client. Such an environment would hopefully be easier to create if it was legalized.
They kind of are a thing, there's the LG 43UD79-B[1] which is a 43" UHD monitor. Not the biggest screen, but decently sized and it advertises a 5ms GTG response time which should be adquate for monitor like use.

For Windows, there is the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator[1], which would allow you to create such a mapping. I used it to map AltGr+s to ß on a Finnish/Swedish keyboard since I found myself writing a decent amount of German.

Not quite a Netflix category, but there's https://www.doesthedogdie.com/ tracks a few other things in addition to dog deaths.

The name and art seemed familiar, I remember playing an old Flash version[0] of this. Cool game from what I remember.

Re:Improving on Tor .onion Address Usability on Wednesday April 05, 2017 @08:42AM (#14041641)
Am I missing something obvious, or isn't this something browser bookmarks/favorites would handle? I.e. storing a more human friendly title/description/tags for complicated URL's & paths.

This doesn't help with the potential complexity of sharing or remembering (on a new device) the sites of course.
