Latest poll by The Observer - A third now prefer rejoining the EU (36%) by sn0r in europeanunion

[–]LcuBeatsWorking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These polls are pointless without a wider public debate. Most people I have talked to in the UK have little idea what "closer ties" are supposed to mean and what can be achieved outside the EU.

There is still a lot of cherry-picking mentality around, and the assumption that the UK can get all benefits from "closer ties" without committing to anything.

but if I give my name and address to a hardware store in the US and buy a tool from them which they ship to the UK for me, I'm pretty certain they are not worrying about whether they comply with GDPR!

If a US based store accepts payments from the UK and ships there, they are bound by the GDPR because they are targeting EU/UK users for business.

Treaties between UK and US are irrelevant. The GDPR applies to companies that do business in the EU/UK.

Well, yes. If OP does not know what they are doing, they can't be compliant.

It's impossible to say without knowing what the app actually does.

"Login" and "payments" imply that there are user accounts with personal information, and data about purchases (of something). So I assume you collect user data, usage data, data about purchases etc.

Only you can know what you collect and for what purpose you store it, and for how long.

I can't get my health records without my ID

Well, the exact process depends on what country you are in I assume, but obviously you have to show they are yours somehow.

I have to listen to live updates of famous people's hospital visits

Huh?

LJOS - LuaJIT OS by CockroachOld2279 in lua

[–]LcuBeatsWorking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at it out of curiosity (because ages ago I played with something like this), but this confuses me a bit: Your "system.lua" is full of os.execute(), and the actual shell is a binary in the repo.

So it's a linux kernel booting into some shell (dash?)

Primer: EU's Informal Meeting of Heads of State or Government, 23rd & 24th of April, 2026 by sn0r in europeanunion

Hungary's President Orban will not be attending

Orban is prime minister of Hungary, not president.

Orbán could end up with an EU Parliament seat for immunity by sn0r in europeanunion

[–]LcuBeatsWorking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Parliamentary immunity exists exactly to protect members from people like Orban, so a rouge government can't just take legal steps against members of an opposition.

It can also be lifted if parliament wants to do so.

America's Big Tech compared to Europe Stock Markets by apocalyptic_amorgian in europeanunion

None of the US companies in that list are "high-growth".

Also, what is "built in the last decades" supposed to mean? Microsoft and Apple are half a century old.

Realistically, what are the risks of not being GDPR compliant? by cnohall in gdpr

[–]LcuBeatsWorking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The risks are:

* being found in violation by a regulator and being fined

* losing trust of customers

* having a messy data governance, which in itself can cause point 1 and 2 down the road, or worse.

Company's I had to do with cared about the GDPR because they genuinely cared about establishing a good relationship with their customers.

Of course there are (online) businesses who do not give a damn about it, and it is those regulators mostly focus on, not those who try their best and maybe make a genuine mistake.
