@jwildeboer I have to disagree with mentioning Wero. Wero uses SEPA instant credit transfer, but it’s a system from the private sector.

@jwildeboer on top of that there really are legitimate benign reasons to track user behaviour and make improvements to websites and applications, that do require some form of cookies or persistent storage on the user’s device.
It’s too easy to wave the data brokers and tracking flag, because the cynical truth is that you don’t even need cookies to do that part.
@xavez
You can do telemetry completely without tracking cookies / cookie banners. See GoatCounter.It losses some precission in the name of privacy (visits are bucketed by IP address and software identifier into rolling 8 hour intervals), but the resulting data is still very useful for answering “What are my users doing on my website?” (with click paths!), without deanonymizing any individuals.
Cookie banner sell the lie, that you somehow need to keep records on every individual for this. You don’t.

@jwildeboer Also, regulating banks a lot is right on point.
@Photo55
I sew the last pic before the rest of the post and got confused why there is a but after “regulating banks”. (You almost cannot overregulate banks, they’ll always find another dumb loophole to seep their corrupting powers through.)

Maybe I should just leave all of this "social" network stuff to those that want to destroy any positive moments and retreat. (I won't. I pity those that seem to be so filled with negativity that there is nothing positive they can ever add here. I will continue to try and hope my mental health won't suffer too much.)
@jwildeboer (2/2) Advice - I think you could use audio chat a bit more with a few here and decide who is "more real" and build on that instead of staying in text land for "social"...
Example chatroom :
https://meet.nadeko.net/chat123123 (no account / just browser needed):You can even change the end of the link to any chatroom name you like.
Happy to chat to you via this easy link - #Jitsi is basically a #Zoom alternative - 3 clicks and in!
1min to start chatting without install or big corporation ! -
(It took less than an hour for the first "Yes, but" folks to show up and accuse me of being ignorant of the EU border policies and how we drown refugees in the mediterranean. Thank you for giving me that short moment of peace. Everything I have done and do for refugees is irrelevant to you because you just want to make your point. So. Welcome to my blocklist.)
@jwildeboer Something is very telling from your 2 replies / comments to yourself.
While it's not "all your fault" or even 1 person's fault, the word "social" you added is in itself a bit of a clue to the fallacy (we're doing one-way mostly and in text format - all highly stripped of human voice / personality etc)
So while it's not great to get comments like you mention it is somewhat of a compliment to be read at least and human in this way to get such negative / weird things when popular.

@jwildeboer DONT EVER FORGET; EUROPE HAS HAD ITS LONGEST PEACETIME SINCE EVER.
The EU isnt only a people project, its a peace project.
@Dexruus @jwildeboer
if you just ignore the balkan, yes.... -
@krist @budududuroiu @jwildeboer i don't see how the statement made by budududuroiu is misleading then
@mfru @budududuroiu @jwildeboer oh, it is not misleading. I just don't really agree with it...

@mfru @budududuroiu @jwildeboer oh, it is not misleading. I just don't really agree with it...
@krist @mfru @jwildeboer that's fair

@jwildeboer Thanks for the ALT text.
Maybe we can encourage the EU Commission account over here and they can ALT text stuff for easier sharing.

@ahltorp @jwildeboer which is nice but not hugely common and probably not something to base a whole regulation around
@wiredfire @ahltorp @jwildeboer I disagree and wish you hadn't shown up here to piss on something I and most people I know consider a simple tangible benefit of EU democracy in action.
We know perfectly well the propensity of monopoly and oligarchic vendors to create unnecessarily proprietary chargers and to sell them for extortionate prices and generating future e-waste.
Half a billion EU citizens have billions of old chargers. Too many already.

@jwildeboer
May I suggest that you simply ignore them? These are usually folks who failed with about anything in their life and find solace only in badmouthing anything else. Because everything must be bad, which is the reason they failed so hard. It can't be their fault. It hast to be something else, for instance Brussels. -
