this gdpr....argh.. all smoke and mirrors bs leftist incompetence, breaking the www experience, luring users into using even more more opaque 'apps' (usually simple ux making http api calls). The real question is who will be siphoning 'our' (eu) data in the near future (more), china, u.s. or full on balkanisation?
The VPN is self-hosted, so:
1) technically yes, you can install it on your laptop and deploy VPN to any Linux or OpenBSD host
2) legally, I have no idea if your government allows you to use a VPN
This! Many Shenzhen China street bbq 'hawkers?' will offer you a plate that is covered with disposable plastic bag, so they don't need to clean the plates (cost more than bag?), only throw away the bag (throwing meaning recycling by someone else). Its purely about making a living....NOW...all down to the smallest bit of margin and plastic it seems. It also seems plastic in Asia is a lot more recyclable than in Europe, where it's seen as a threat. In China you put your banana peel in the 'non recyclable' bin and your plastic in the 'recyclable' bin... This sorta hints at the human cost behind recycling this stuff it seems...beyond being someones retirement fund, can we really get rid of this plastic? What are the costs of this? Are there more energy efficient alternatives?
scanning over the article > "clean" in the headline and "green" first paragraph leaves me confused, also the two following paragraphs are titled "clean and green" and then talks about fines...followed by "a 'fine' city" (pun intended?). So in what way does punishment affects 'green' solutions? What solutions are you looking for? In what way would incentives work? 'Mentality change' is also an interesting one...Too many questions
heh three years ago all metal trash bins in Shenzhen China were changed to plastic ones, for similar reasons i suppose. It's ironic to see the change in Europe, from cheap plastic bins to fancy stainless ones in city centers, back to plastic ones.
haha these articles just tend to make you (me) resort to the same kind of complaining really. I agree, while not being most informative, I wished the author got some relief and insights. Building your own PC is so nice tho, you should start with this (?). Just use what works for you I'd say. I have difficulties with win/osx/linux/.... So I use all of them, according to my needs. This is not ideal, nor idealism, nor practical. Maybe my mode of using is best described as 'opportunistic computing'. Therefore, I will never make a hard switch, I remain in flux but contribute where I can, willingly or not ;(.
