No, a million is cost of doing business. Once you get into single digit percentage fines, you're hurting them. Or do you expect shareholders to say, "ah, that's fine, that's just the EU, we're gonna hold Meta stock because we like them"?

Another thing to consider is that it's also about how many of those fines can the company absorb. Fine them a million? They can take a thousand of those before it even starts making a dent. But how many of the 1% fines can they take? 5? 10? 20?

That's a choice, my choice is to back away or use an anonymous window and accept the tracking if I really want to see the content.

It's just another paywall, it just gives you the option of paying with your data. It's your choice what's more valuable.

But I get it, people want choices shoved down their throats, they don't want to actually choose. That's why paywall is fine, but paywall with free-with-tracking-option is the big bad. No one forces you to give your consent, give it or don't, it's up to you.

You don't want the choice to consent, you want to be angry at someone about something.

I obviously meant ads that track you, didn't know I have to spell it out. So to clarify, I was talking about the tracking kind of ads which need user consent. My point was that giving consent or paying is fine in my book, because you have a choice and no one is entitled to a free service. And that even if DMA decides it's not, it doesn't concern anyone but a few select companies.

To be fair, I'm like 80% sure it was perfectly clear in the original comment as well.

1.46 billions of iOS users as of 2023. And 100 million MacOS users.

I disagree, no one is by law obligated to provide free services for you. Either pay or have ads is fine by me.

And DMA does not care about your local newspaper site, unless they're so big that they're a gatekeeper. Ruling based on DMA does not affect anyone but the gatekeepers.

Isn't that relatively old news? I've been using them in Symfony for a few years, already.

It's sad that this is considered malicious at all. Seriously, either working from home is a risk for your company or it isn't, there's nothing in between.

I wouldn't really call chronic back pain a preconceived anxiety, but you do you.

Just accept that your lifestyle isn't good for everyone. You found something that works well for you, congrats! Doesn't mean you found some huge secret on how to make everyone's life better.

Both, tbh. I'm not a workaholic, but I really like my work, so I'd get bored if I didn't work. And I have a pretty sweet work-life balance.

Travelling I like of course, but not too often, I have a really expensive mattress to help alleviate my chronic back pain and sleeping somewhere else is not a pleasant experience. So doing it once in a while is fine, doing it regularly would suck.

And last but not least, lately I like my peace and quiet, constant travelling would not go well with that.

Well, both of you didn't include ™ so they're probably gonna sue your ass into the ground until you're homeless and/or owing them millions. Such a nice company.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 2 days ago

So any advice on how to do it? Sounds intriguing. Not that I'd want to have that lifestyle, but still curious.

Nice! What's the prompt?

So, a few days ago I've written about a then work-in-progress configurable calendar model and now we're ready to roll!

Features

  • The days are always correct - uses an algorithm to calculate the correct day for any date. So if you want to print a calendar for 2077, rest assured that the model will calculate the correct day for the 1st of January (it's Friday, btw).
  • Generate only select months - the full model measures 240x240 mm, which might be quite large for some smaller printers. You can generate only months 1-6 and then separately months 7-12 and voilá, it fits.
  • Choose how many months are on each row - what would it help cutting the calendar in half by only selecting half of the months if you couldn't fit 3 columns on your print bed? Well, just change the amount of columns, of course! Set it to 2 and the model fits again.
  • Custom holidays - every country has different holidays and here you can put them all easily!
  • No AMS or MMU? No problem! - supports printing both with AMS/MMU and without. With a simple toggle you can switch between multi material mode and a mode where each colored part has different height for manual color switching
  • Are Saturdays worth celebrating? - you decide! A simple toggle to toggle whether Saturdays have that holiday/Sunday color or not
  • Magnet or hook holes? - or both? You can configure the diameter, width, height and whatnot of either or both.
  • What the f…ont! - choose your font, choose your font size.
  • No hablo English? - just translate the calendar to your language! Title, month names and day names are all translatable.
46

So, I'm making a fully customizable calendar in OpenSCAD with the following features:

  • correct columns for every date - uses an algorithm to calculate the correct day of the week for any date, you just change the year and the calendar is correct
  • fully translatable
  • supports custom holidays
  • supports both MMU/AMS and single extruder (with the help of M600 or similar)

Planned features:

  • configurable holes for magnets or holes for hanging the calendar
  • configurable first day of the week

I can share the SCAD file, though beware it's a work in progress and I haven't test printed it yet.

I made a configurable Task planner that you can easily edit using OpenSCAD customizer (or various compatible customizers like the one on Makerworld).

I've posted this here once already some time ago, so here's what's changed:

  • tasks can now be provided as a comma-separated items
  • font can be changed in customizer (added due to a request for Korean language support)
