@JBert I knew there was something with Flarum :)

@coldandtired Holy Shit, welcome back! Also, what the fuck happened to your avatar??
Cheers :) I've fixed the avatar (is this still Flarum?) thinks I uploaded a square "C" icon.
@loopback0 Nice. I thought it had moved to Brum.

The factory doesn't make it in Worcester anymore I've heard but it used to.
@antiquarian Cheers - I guess my already limited productivity is going to take a nosedive ;)

@Gąska the county after which the sauce is (sort of) named.
Why sort of?
@Arantor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
It's also interesting how even the local accent inflections vary across even the 30 miles between Worcester and Birmingham.
I grew up there. It's much worse than that. We could tell whether someone came from the top of the hill (Warndon), the middle of the hill (Tolladine), or the bottom of the hill (Brickfields) by their accent.

Poland seems to have added something similar.
I received one message in August which said something like 'There's a storm - be careful' and that was it.
It turned out there was a storm, 12 hours later and in a completely different part of the country, so I spent all afternoon digging a bunker for nothing.
And I absolutely would bet on the scummy government abusing it in the future, probably to tell me to go to church.

Does it always start on Tuesday or is it because today is Tuesday?
On the other side of the aisle, arguments FOR CC’s Code of Conduct include:
- Fostering an inclusive and safe space for women, LGBTQIA+, and People of Color, who in the absence of the CoC are excluded, harassed, and sometimes even raped by cis white males.
When I wanted to get started with Unity I 'evaluated' every book I could find in the usual places, and the ones from Packt weren't even worth it for free.
Even if the information was all correct (I only read a few pages of each) the presentation was usually appalling.

@Cursorkeys My first dives in the UK were there in February, in a semi-dry. I think I bought a drysuit the next week!
@dkf said in In other news today...:
Diving gas suppliers therefore are still best off close to where their customers are.
Exactly. But in the UK, that isn't by the sea. The most popular location for recreational diving is in Leicester, followed by Brum. And for mixed gas stuff it's Stoke.
@dkf It's more about time (each tank takes a while to fill) or availability (filling trimix, nitrox, pure O2, etc. needs special equipment and training).
@Tsaukpaetra All those issues pale into insignificance compared to
@Bulb said in In other news today...:
They don't often get into crashes, do they? Especially not when pressurised, because that is usually done in the port before diving; in transit, they are usually not pressurised.
It's pretty rare but they occasionally explode. There used to be (still is?) a story going round where a tank was dropped and the valve shot off and went through various people, boats, walls, etc.
I've never heard of them being filled at the port, though. They're filled at the shop and transported.

When some products were discounted, their "sort by price" function used the original price, not the discounted price.
The PlayStation store also does that

@Lorne-Kates said in 15 years of NCIX customer data available for sale:
Why was this sensitive data being stored at all, let alone in plaintex
Why was there 15 years of this data stored?
If only a group of countries could get together and pass general regulations trying to protect this kind of data.
@HardwareGeek That's not how it works. She volunteered all that data herself publicly.
If she doxxes her boyfriend and he's not happy about it he can take steps to have his data removed.
@Benjamin-Hall Not true. It is not personal data unless there is a person attached.
If the girlfriend has posted enough information to identify herself and connects herself to her boyfriend this can push it into GDPR territory.
@Benjamin-Hall It depends on whether she names her boyfriend in a way which can identify him or not.
@Benjamin-Hall said in Good article on what the EU *could* be doing instead of what they *are* doing to improve the internet:
So any processing of personal data that reveals philosophical beliefs is extra special private? ?
Yes, what's so difficult to understand?
Every time my school hires an American they invariably ask whether we're Liberals or Conservatives. I think three weeks was the longest one went without asking. One even asked at his job interview. Even before GDPR we had to implement rules to stop them bothering students with this shit.
Compare that to the European colleagues, where none of us know how the others vote because we talk about other things. This extends to most philosophical discussions (anti-choice, anti-gay, etc.)
We already considered it private information, but now it is clarified that no employer, company, etc. can ask for it without explaining why they need to know.
@Benjamin-Hall said in Good article on what the EU *could* be doing instead of what they *are* doing to improve the internet:
And who decides what a "very good reason" is? Is it written down somewhere?
Of course not; we're not exceptional enough to have such things
@The_Quiet_One said in Good article on what the EU *could* be doing instead of what they *are* doing to improve the internet:
Because according to GDPR there's no distinction between different types of personal information. It's all lumped into one category.
Not true. Things like sexual preference or race require a very good reason to be processed.

If paying the extortion is cheaper than serving the market, they pay the extortion. If it's not, they don't.
So what's the problem? It's just another business cost. I'm pretty sure there are just as many hurdles going the other way as well, like having to translate everything into ancient measurements.
@blakeyrat said in Good article on what the EU *could* be doing instead of what they *are* doing to improve the internet:
Because everything they do has the end goal of fining US companies as much $$$$ as possible.
Yet strangely, pretty much every US company that isn't some local news site for a town of 25 people has bent over backwards to accommodate the evil EU consumers. Are they all so gullible?
