How Does Paris Stay Paris? By Pouring Billions Into Public Housing
  • "There also is vestigial cynicism in Paris about public housing after a series of scandals in the 1990s, when some conservative politicians were revealed to be paying cheap rents for luxury city-owned apartments. Today, the city awards public housing through a system that strips the names of applicants and prioritizes them through a points system that factors income and family circumstances."

    Purposedly misleading... Cheap-rent luxury appartments for politicians still exist, they just moved from the "public" social housing company to more discret one.

    And about the baseline of the article, the famous "mixité sociale", do you know what happens when you mix together people of various social conditions, backgrounds, and education? Troubles.

    Been there, done that, never again. This policy is slowly building a time-bomb in french major cities.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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
  • Is it possible to get phished by trying to unsubscribe from marketing emails?
  • 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.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Tried the quiz. First question: an app request access to data, what do you do?

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

    Boy, first question and you already fuck up.. Never heard about the concept of address?

  • What's a good solution for a small NAS?
  • You know that NAS can go in sleep mode, right? And wake up only when you try to activate them.

    But what is the use-case? Only make your holiday films available to a media center? Or do you plan to also use it as a storage for other devices?

    In the first case a sbc can do the trick (however can struggle if you share 4k). But I would definitely look into "real" NAS (Synology, qnas, etc.) before using a sbc.

  • Tu as essayé dans un endroit bien eclairé ? J'ai eu pas mal de soucis avec ces mécanismes de reconnaissance des papiers d'identité dès que je n'étais pas directement sous une lampe.

  • Curated list of supplies tonavoid if you care about privacy

    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.
