AFAIK European law isn’t often based on common law, but Napoleonic Code / civil law. Ie. precedent is less relevant.

Also, given Meta’s been fined 2.5 billion euros in the past few years, it sounds like they’re going after the big guys first.

Yep. Very common.

A lot of people use their pc like a console or media server. Ie. use it to watch/play stuff from their bed or couch.

Sometimes I wear headphones/earbuds without the music on, just to drown at the noise.

Get ones that isolate noise well.

The trick is to touch them with the back of your hand, so that the shock causes you to clench your fist and arm, and punch yourself in the face for being a fucking moron who almost killed himself.

If you want to use whatsapp:

If someone else has an old (and/or prepay) sim which can receive texts, you can authenticate whatsapp that way. IRC you can also authenticate with a landline. Install whatsapp using the landline number, wait for SMS authentication to fail, then it should ask to call you. Say yes, and you’ll get a call with the authentication code. Et voila.

My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

Good luck with that, is all I can say. Kids are very susceptible to peer pressure, especially as they enter their teen years. It’s only when they’re in their late teens that they’ll open up again and start becoming more critical.

I sounds like you don’t actually dislike wayland, but fanboys and toxicity. TBH the linux community is full of that kind of crap.

Imagine if we were all as weird about toasters, having arguments about how toaster brand X was so much better than toaster brand Y.

But luckily people don’t give much of a shit about toasters, as long as they work.

I use it for gmail and related google apps, nothing else.

Honestly works for me. Chrome for emails and stuff. No history, full privacy mode firefox for everything else. That includes youtube and links in emails.

Google thinks all I ever do is check my emails.

I dunno. My local doctor has saved plenty of lives.

Consider him more of a success than someone who reviews overpriced phones on youtube.

Suppose how you define success depends on what you think’s important in life.

In this case, it’s a semi-successful youtuber who does phone reviews.

But I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you.
