Journal Journal: It is 2025 and Slashdot doesn't support IPv6?

I've been migrating all my stuff to IPv6 because I'm retarded and felt like (another) winter project.

So I have a Debian VM that is IPv6-only for testing things out, general browsing, etc. and see that Slashdot doesn't support IPv6? One would think a tech site would have been onboard with this years ago.

I don't need an account to use youtube and I can fairly easily configure my browser and hide my Internet presence such that all tracking-tech youtube tries on me is fooled sufficient that it effectively can't do this anymore. I do need an account to use Facebook. Therefor, I can't use Facebook without being tracked.

Meanwhile, in my country Facebook was forbidden to track me without account. See ie.: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Farticl...

Differently put, Youtube and Facebook are completely different. The moment Youtube requires having an account, then I guess Youtube too will be required by EU law to abide by the same rules. I also think Youtube already has to abide by the rules even if you are logged on with a Youtube account.

Comment Privacy is a human right; it's not for sale (Score 4, Insightful) 110

Privacy is a human right. I don't see how here in the EU a US company can try to force EU inhabitants to have to pay for their human rights.

I mean it's totally OK if the US wants to enslave its OWN population by letting them pay hard dollars if they want to enjoy a human right like privacy. But here in the EU this is not really considered of this time anymore. So Meta can go sell its nonsense somewhere else.

Meta, there will be plenty of competing services and companies that do follow the EU laws to replace you. So leave. Go away. Fuck off even.

Comment What about my eyes? (Score 1) 160

Can this be tuned to the frequency of my personal eyes? I want to see the stars too.

Failing that, can the streetlights just be turned off? They aren't necessary after let's say 23:00 or even 22:00. If late night city street dwellers want to see better in the middle of the night, they can carry a flashlight with them.
