We already have laws against that.
Yeah… who are the owners of a flat to decide what to do with it, eh?
Alternatively, inform yourself and take a conscious and thoughtful decision using the information at your disposal. Don’t let others (especially the government) push you around to take or not take the vaccine.
If those workers stand their ground the mandate can be delayed forever. It will be interesting to see what the regime does next.

Because features in software don’t exist until someone adds them.
In some countries something like this has been mandatory for a long time.

In Germany and its lapdog Austria there’s the mandatory impressum: fully doxxed whether you want it or not.

In Spain if you handle a database with personal information (like a forum or a blog where people can leave their email addresses along with comments) you also have to put all your data somewhere in the page so people can contact you to have themselves removed.

But hey we have cookie banners at least!

Apologising for something that happened decades ago when those responsible are no longer working and most of them are dead? Well that’s got to be easy.
They could also host these on their own website, but of course that doesn’t sound as flashy.

We are subject to American Puritanism because Europe has failed time and time again to create competitive social networks because of regulations and scarce access to capital. Better complain about that.

Automattic, the makers of Wordpress, have a free and very powerful cache plugin.

They were probably trying to post spam and thought your search bar was a comment input field.

The political systems of every one of those countries are freer today than they were before the British “visited”.

What flagging achieves in many cases is nothing more than turning this site into an echo chamber. One can choose to throw the baby out with the bath water, but let’s not pretend that’s the best approach. It’s a bunch of people nodding at one another all the time.

Let’s not forget TERREG, which already makes it illegal in practical terms for individuals to have an open forum or blog in Europe

> The EU just passed TERREG yesterday without a vote that requires anyone running a website with user generated content (a blog with comments, a forum etc.) and if they have significant EU user base to establish legal presence in the EU and have an officer responsible for deleting content with 1 hr SLA. That's out of reach for most of people. You cannot even block your site for EU traffic, because EU users can use VPN.

Re:How South Dakota has become a global tax haven on Sunday October 10, 2021 @12:09PM (#28819524)
Because that money has already paid tax before.
Re:How South Dakota has become a global tax haven on Sunday October 10, 2021 @12:08PM (#28819514)
A rich person already pays taxes. Also, I’m not sure about what you mean with “community labour” - a rich person also pays his employees.

This is nothing but double taxation. Ie highway robbery.

Pass it on to whomever I choose. Since it is, you know, my money.

I don’t like that the state can take part of the wealth you’ve worked for after you die. But obviously laws to steal money from everybody else are popular.

The first screenshot is in fact not a screenshot but an svg file. I don’t see how that makes the website look more fishy, though…

Why not? I tried it and it seemed a good browser. I think it’s a good option for those who hate Google.
Three will be considered enough by now. Gotta line up some pockets.
I’ve found it’s easier (and cheaper) to use a cracked Spotify app.

Btw, this is from 2019.

I tried the first 18 and not a single one is working.

All of this gives me phpnuke vibes. Would not recommend.

Why was this flagged? Is someone here trying to hide or cover something?
Who is a man and who is obese are not abstract ideas. We have very strict criteria to filter by these.
