[ricola] I started a 100days project with a prequel NYE. Does that count?
[iambismark] joined the channel
#
[tantek] yes you can start a 100days project at any time!
#
[tantek] I think if your intent was to do most of it in 2023, then you say you started on day -1 🙂

Kaja It's March 1043, 2020 (UTC)

aaronpk my flickr pro account renews in 3 days and I think this is the end for me
#
aaronpk i already downloaded my whole archive into a static website
#
superkuh Like taking a suffering old person off life support. It truly died long ago...
#
superkuh Even before smugmug bought it.
#
Zegnat What does the pro account give you? (I have never paid for Flickr.)
#
aaronpk it is unclear at the moment
#
aaronpk they keep changing the limits of free accounts
#
aaronpk i think i'm going to delete all my non-public photos but leave the rest and see what happens
#
Zegnat If it is an interest in keeping the public photos available, I wonder if the thing to recommend to people is to convert their pro account subscriptions into Flickr Foundation donations

[snarfed] woowwwwwww I just got a GDPR shakedown email for snarfed.org demanding €100 because it uses Google fonts
#
[snarfed] from https://europedataprotection.com/ , will post the full text

#
sknebel That's been going around, yeah. Although the main source of those I've heard about is currently under criminal investigation because of it, so yeah ...
#
[snarfed] Hah thanks. I knew it happened, but didn't expect I'd ever get one
#
[snarfed] [tonz] had a related experience: https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2021/12/what-gdpr-ccpa-trolling-attempt-is-this/
#
[tantek] That’s what happens when they incentivize snitches.

[snarfed] I got a little spicy. https://snarfed.org/2023-01-07_gdpr-troll-shakedown-from-mustafa-sisic-of-europe-data-protection

[snarfed] it's not in the front page or feeds yet though. debating how much I want to name and shame vs avoid causing myself more trouble

[snarfed] "links to any other sites that are not on the same domain as your site" smdh
#
[tantek] submit to chillingeffects.org ?
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> That is sad.
#
Zegnat My guess is the 100 EUR is not even because they think that is something small sites would pay, but mostly just because it is a copy-paste of the Munich order.
#
Zegnat That rewis.io link they included in the email does not work for me, but this is the case on the NOYB run wiki: https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=LG_M%C3%BCnchen_-_3_O_17493/20
#
[snarfed] Sigh. Thanks Zegnat
#
[snarfed] Interesting, chillingeffects.org is now https://lumendatabase.org/
#
[snarfed] Not obvious how to submit
#
[snarfed] Google site search only found https://lumendatabase.org/blog_entries/lumen-announces-new-submission-tool , which doesn't work. I give up
#
Zegnat Oh, also, for even more context on the shake-down email, the Google Analytics case they are referring to is most likely this one: https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=DSB_(Austria)_-_2021-0.586.257_(D155.027) It is very interesting but it is not like it has killed off GA usage in the EU at all.
#
Zegnat (Of course they probably prefer to link to TechCrunch because ... it is a long article that people are not going to read? But also, why are they linking me to an American website that is likely to process my IP! Gasp!)

#
[fluffy] [snarfed] the one that you linked to seems liek it’s part of the “weird privacy people” thing that happened as a result of a badly-designed university study.
#
[fluffy] I mean, the one that [tonz] had

#
[fluffy] The attempted GDPR shakedown that’s happening to you is much more bizarre.
