I’m not sure, but it does say that companies must delete it within 3 years of the last time they do business with you.

These are connected medical devices like insulin pumps

Illinois has a law against collecting biometric data.

There’s x86 socs. You can buy a linux tablet right now.

Just have my phone set to syncthimg between a second drive on my pc and the home folder on the pc rsync to the same drive. I need an external provider to back that up.

I always bootstrap business ideas without spending any or little money to start. Making a small thing on github that says “managed service, please contact for pricing” channel that through a virtual assistant to weed out the time wasters. If you get a lot of demand, then you scale up and flesh out complete automation.

You could always outsource and automate the basic troubleshooting aspects. Running updates accross multiple customers would be a breeze. I beleive I’ve seen one managed services company that will set up an instance and manage it for around $20/mo.

More like mv a/somedirectory/andanother/thenonemore/longfilenameislong b/another_directory/directory2/stillmore2goanddontmisspellanything

Sometimes you just want to move a file from folder to another.

I guess I wasn’t thinking about how much work it would actually be in order to enforce it. I doubt I could afford the cost. Maybe if it was coupled with a managed services type of deal and you had enough subsrcibers it could be enough to hire another staff member? It seems like adding “premium” features could alieanate the userbase unless it’s just cosmetic changes. I put my foot in my mouth bringing it up, sorry.

Indeed it is a big ask, however, It would be something I’d be willing to pay for. Many foss projects make money from paying customers as well as donations. I also mention and explain what lemmy is and encourage people to check it out in the getting started area of the site.

They did it in Dutch as an extra fu.

It’s the little heart on the top on desktop.

It would also be nice to remove the join lemmy link on the bottom as well as a few other tweaks.

More customization for site owners. I have an independent instance and there’s a lot of things on there that are confusing for people unfamiliar with the fefiverse or lemmy. It would also be nice to remove the donation beg at the top. I know Lemmy needs funding, but it makes it look like I’m asking for donations.

When the ACA gets repealed insurance comoanies can use it to preemptively deny you coverage. Then there’s the ethnic cleansing of course. There will be religious people who will use it for marriage licenses or breeding permits.

All they do is combine data from bunch of different data brokers, including a few that sell hacked data. They are likely breaking multiple laws. Someone could put the same thing together that targets law enforcement and politicians. I’m sure it already exists.

I’ve been thinking of starting an ev retrofit company for very common cars/platforms. Drop out the drivetrain/fuel system. Install all the necessary replacement bits, and addons for a/c, heat, etc. Piggyback some kind of system so traction control doesn’t have an aneurism and make the gauges work right. I would need to find a reliable source for batteries and motors.

I just boot straight into the terminal. No desktop, just the void staring at me full of possibilities.
