Yeah, I'm in Germany. It used to differ country to country, but since GDPR, you need consent, need to have/give a proper reason for the recording, need to store it in encrypted form, need to provide it to the other party if requested, need to delete it upon request, need to delete it when it has fulfilled it's purpose. Might have forgotten some requirements.

Things are probably less stringent for one private person recording another, but I'd err on the side of caution and always ask for consent. And if you want to record someone doing something illegal, probably ask a lawyer whether that'd be admissable.

Depends on your jurisdiction. For some US states, only one of the recorded parties has to consent. In my jurisdiction, both parties have to consent.

Can definitely be useful for longer/complicated calls if you can't take notes in the moment. I'm not suggesting you use it to break any laws, of course.

The stock Graphene app has call recording. Very few other options can do that.

That's an ugly-ass mansion.

I don't think the average user thinks much about the platform they're on, and about who controls it. I think they go to wherever most of their family/friends are.

Also, those platforms are firmly in the mainstream, the alternatives aren't really - you'd have to actively go search for them. People just aren't likely to do that, I don't think.

People find way to slow orphan-crushing-machine slightly. Lawmakers debate adding additional orphan chute. More at seven.

Wow, they managed to make a law so fucked up that US judges and prosecutors cooperate to work around it.

Even the fucking RN knows this isn't a good look.

If I remember correctly, the reason for all this was that his other kids really aren't on board with daddy's political opinions, and would be able to overrule their brother. We'll see how it turns out.

Well, duh. But at least there's some main stream coverage of that angle.

It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.

The war in Gazah is barbaric, but the sensible immediate alternative would have been a very targeted operation to find and rescue the hostages, not something like this.

I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.

Uh, what would I be paying for, exactly? I don't really see what Software support a mouse really needs, as long as it doesn't ship buggy. Also, I've been using my (Logitech, funnily) mouse for 6 years now, and if you ignore the few scratches it has gathered, it still works pretty much perfectly.

Also, if their solution for a longer lasting mouse really is repairability, isn't that just their way of saying "we designed our other products to be thrown away"?

I'm male, and bi. I'm about equally bad at picking up on hints from men and women, but it seems more common with men to just flat out state what they want, either immediately, or after I miss their clue, which I'd presume to be cultural.

I'm bad with social clues in general, so I dunno if it's a male-thing, or a me-thing.

I think that one was fake, posted by the OperaGX Account. Still funny, though.

On that note, I'd advise against using Opera browsers, the company that is behind them now is kinda shady.

On another note, I'd also advise against Edge, but less so. Microsoft is just normal megacorp-shady, not ran-a-loanshark-bussiness-in-africa-shady.

My ISP's a dick, but to my knowledge, unlimited has to mean unlimited around here. There where months where we had Problems with our fibre, so I did everything over a hotspot from my phone. Used 100's of GB's no one ever complained.

Get proper consumer protection laws, people.
