was finally able to reach that video. Love it! Indeed the song showcases hypocrisy which is what the collage tries to expose.

That kind of clears some things up. I appreciate the explanation.

But I guess I’m still confused because each candidate (or at least some candidates) seem to be running for a specific position. So if a party gets X number of seats, I would not expect the seats to be arbitrary. One of the seats is for mayor, IIUC, which I think is position #1.

You seem to imply that the order of the list matters. So if everyone just votes for the list without selecting individuals (which is likely very common), then does that mean someone very low on list (by default) in position 40+ has a very low chance of getting elected? It seems like everyone within the list of a party is competing with each other as well.

I guess I need to research not just which party to favor, but all the individual candidates as well to know how to influence the rankings.

Hoof… behaw. They became tor hostile. I actually have an account there I can no longer reach.

It’s hard to say. I’ve been in several different cities. Radio stations often somewhat match the demographic. E.g. in the midwest and south US there are a lot of rock and country music stations for the redneck rural listeners and likely no jazz. But I would expect cities in more sophisticated regions to have jazz. This list might give a good idea:

There are some in France but perhaps only in the cloud. ATM I’m not seeing how to separate cloud-only stations from those that are also over the air.

I don’t know when (if ever) I will be able to view that. Youtube has been blocking Tor and DoS attacking Invidious lately. It’s unclear when the open free world will get access to Youtube content again.

I don’t see where that quote came from, but I found this:

Today (24 April 2024), the Federal Ombudsman is presenting its annual report to the Chamber of Representatives

So indeed your suggestion helps. If the annual report is being given to the Chamber of Representatives then that must be who oversees them. Thanks for the tip!

I guess I don’t get the reference. I recall a Bullwinkle cartoon when I was a kid. Is it related?

I’m not sure how it works but it may still conform to standards (just not conventional norms). E.g. consider eduroam which is common in EU schools. You need a special app for eduroam but it’s possibly combining various authentication standards with wi-fi standards. Before using eduroam I skimmed through all 1000+ SLOC of the bash script before deciding to trust it. I was revolted that I had to inspect all that code just to safely connect to campus wi-fi with confidence.

That said, I have no idea how wifi4eu works. It could be similar to eduroam and perhaps a FOSS app will eventually emerge. But until then, all we get is an all-rights-reserved copyrighted black box and no specs (AFAIK). So yes, it’s a shit show of exclusivity and privacy surrender nonetheless.

not sure what rtbf is but I sent you DM. Did you receive it? I think you are on Lemmy and I have yet to see DMs work from mbin to Lemmy.

I could reach out to them, but ecolo is not a part of the site I snapshotted.

I’ve been there but it didn’t occur to me to look there… thanks for the tip!

I’m not sure any local bars have them. But it’s a good idea. I’ll ask a bar anyway on the off chance that they would know.

i don’t see any limitations in the sidebar

wow… then when I posted the above thread, it responded with “This page isn’t working” and looked like an error msg that was generated by the browser itself. So I reposted. Same thing. Then I discovered that it posted despite the error. So then I deleted the dupe.

the privacy policy for kbin.earth is just empty for me, on Ungoogled Chromium. I get the page title in large bold, but then an empty box below it despite enabling some foreign 3rd party JS (jwr.one).

But I must say, something like Cloudflare should not be buried in a privacy policy. It should be something that no one misses especially if Tor is whitelisted. A lot of Tor users likely rely on CF’s “just one moment…” page to know it’s a CF page (a mitm we usually want to avoid).

The “working party 29” produced detailed guidance on the legitimate interest legal basis (wp217) which likely answers this. I’ll have to read that again. Someone in a forum said age collection would violate the data minimisation principle, but they may not have considered the point you make.

Thanks for the insights. I was looking for a client not a server. So maybe this can’t help me. A server somewhat hints that it would be bandwidth heavy. I’m looking to escape the stock JS web client. At the same time, I am on a very limited uplink. To give an idea, I browse web with images disabled because they would suck my quota dry.

good, thanks!

Photon is a strange beast. How do you install it?

It seems to only come as a docker container. That’s weird. I don’t have docker installed but docker should really be a choice… not a sole means of installation. I see no deb file or tarball. It seems that it has taken a direction that makes it non-conducive to ever becoming part of the official Debian repos.

Then it seems as well that their official site “phtn.app” is a Cloudflare site – which is a terrible sign. It shows that the devs are out of touch with digital rights, decentralisation, and privacy. That doesn’t in itself mean the app is bad but the tool is looking quite sketchy so far. Several red flags here.

(edit) I found a tarball on the releases page.

Thanks!

Apparently it’s not as reproduceable as I thought. I was just now able to render my profile before logging in.
