« Djadja » cause bien français ou pourquoi Aya Nakamura représente aussi la pluralité de la France
  • C'est beau ces articles qui commencent par indiquer que 73% des Français n'aiment pas ces chansons, pour ensuite expliquer qu'ils sont trop bêtes pour comprendre.

    Mais venir expliquer que les grammaire/syntaxe/vocabulaire utilisés dans ces chansons sont "le" français, c'est de mauvaise foi.

    Ca représente une partie de la langue française. On pourrait parler de dialecte s'il y avait une cohérence territoriale dans ce type de phrasé, mais pas "le" français.

    (Dans mon esprit, "le" français est celui que l'on apprend à école, et toutes les déformations que l'on utilise au quotidien en sont des sous-parties).

    Reste la question de savoir si une jeune femme noire est représentatrice de "la France". D'un pur point de vue démographique, j'en doute.

    Can you tell excel sheets which were created using a pirated version of MS Office?
  • It's rather the other way around, Word is not 1 to 1 compatible with LibreOffice Writer when it comes to document editing. Writer is far better on that aspect.

    European Commission’s use of Microsoft 365 infringes data protection law for EU institutions and bodies
  • Probable course of action is MSFT implementing a hotfix in the next 3-6 months, that will be nowhere near to address the topic.

    Another 2 years of EDPS investigation.

    Then MSFT will release another patch 3-6 months after that actually solves the issue.

    But in the meantime, they would have implemented another mechanism to spy on users.

    Rince and repeat.

    Nightmare on Lemmy Street (A Fediverse GDPR Horror Story) - Michael Altfield's Tech Blog
  • Article 3 GDPR is straightforward, gdpr will apply.

    The real question is how any kind of authority could enforce it ? Almost no chance that any law enforcement/regulator will bother a single-user instance purely on the ground of gdpr...

    Nightmare on Lemmy Street (A Fediverse GDPR Horror Story) - Michael Altfield's Tech Blog
  • I’m not so sure about the GDPR status for the Fediverse, I don’t think there’s the law is prepared for “Jerry runs this for people, just for fun”. It’s very much “official organisation” or “money grabbing business” oriented. Someone should fund an actual lawyer to look into this and lay down the real requirements.

    I'm working in the gdpr compiance field ;) Using a personnal device to monitor public space doesn't fall under the household exception, this solution even pre-dates the GDPR (https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2014-12/cp140175en.pdf).

    (the case-law is about camera fixed on a private house, but the logic easily translates in a private server grabbing public data).

    but when legal compliance comes up, everybody just sticks their fingers in their ears and pretends not to hear you.

    Just as you did ^^

    Nightmare on Lemmy Street (A Fediverse GDPR Horror Story) - Michael Altfield's Tech Blog
  • No, Lemmy servers are not exempt from GDPR compliance. The household exemption (you are not subject to gdpr for private activities) only applies for purely personnal activities. As soon as a service is offered to someone else, the exemption is no more applicable.

    That's one of the drawback about open-source projects, they are designed to fulfill a need (persistent storage & decentralised communication for Lemmy), and no one give a f*ck about legalities.

    Python Risk Identification Tool for generative AI (PyRIT)
  • Damn... I'm a Linux user that basically hates the MS way of life, but I must admit that they are taking AI seriously AND share their tools. So kudos, please continue !

    I shamelessly reused the AI assesment template at work and this RIT will be pushed to some colleagues.

    We took a dive into the Dropbox privacy policy — it’s not good
  • Just to clarify, I'm self-hosting. I'm using neither Proton nor Dropbox.

    However, I'm a privacy pro, and I read Privacy Policies on a daily basis (ok.. weekly basis).

    The US companies recently moved to disclose ALL the providers they are using (including for controller activities) where European companies still hide this information (and disclose only the providers used to deliver the service). For a very concrete example, Salesforces is mentionned by Dropbox where Proton is silent about the crm they use.

    On this specific aspect, the USA are ahead of EU.

    That's all I meant.

    If you want to read it as "give your data to the USA", feel free, but that's not what I said.

    We took a dive into the Dropbox privacy policy — it’s not good
  • Encryption will not protect your privacy in the specific case of Dropbox.

    They look into your activity, not files.

    And that's pretty much standard for any kind of commercial SaaS, just because of security concerns.

    Also, they are quite transparent about the provider they are using for internal activities (Stripe, etc.). Companies in EU will typically not disclose such information. For example, Dropbox disclose the use of AWS (for hosting the infra & code, I guess), whereas Proton does not disclose any hosting company.

    Why do so few Industrial product come with Linux support ?
  • 2 main reasons in my view:

    • windows is the de facto standard for desktop ans users management. So each corp has at least one guy used to the interface to dofirst-level debug
    • windows comes with support, not linux. So corps don't want to employe one Linux admin "just in case". That's the main reason I keep hearing from sysadmins I know

    When living in Germany...
  • 45€/month for 250 Mbits/sec in ADSL. 85€ for 1Gbps in optic fiber (250Mbps upload)

    I have the ADSL connection, and sometimes in hot summer it disconnects. Same in case of thunderstorm.

    Back in France, I had 1Gbps (up and down) optic fiber for 40€, and not a single interruption in 4 years.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • It's possible, I've been tricked last year by a similar attack (the sneakiest attack possible to target privacy people, imho).

    I praise IT Security for putting so many safeguards, sandboxes and verifications!

    Facebook and Instagram users in the European Union will be charged up to €12.99 a month for ad-free versions of the social networks as a way to comply with the bloc’s data privacy rules
  • Price is a thing, but having the option to chose is definitely good.

    Now comes the real question: do you really trust the Zuck to implement a "do not share/sell anything" policy ? 'Cause yeah, if I'm paying, I'm expecting that none of my data is being sold/processed/transmitted to another company. Paying to just remove ads is .. pointless.

    Google warns it will delete millions of Gmail accounts in December
  • It misses the most important information: why.

    The CNIL (French privacy regulator) slapped Discord in October last year because they never deleted accounts (hi GDPR).

    Since then, all tech companies are hurriedly designing a plan to mass delete inactive accounts.

  • That's the result when you ask people with no knowledge of the product to draft your legal documents. More worrying, it also mean that no one internally actually reviewed those documents.

    • allow all
    • allow nothing and uninstall
    • all strictly what is necessary (e.g. location for Uber)

    https:// www.dataprivacyframework.gov /s/us-businesses

    Following the adoption of the Data Privacy Framework, US authorities provide a list of self-certified US companies.

    This means a list of companies that are not UP the GDPR standard, and use this framework as a workaround.
