At least props for Stereo MC's Connected.

Perhaps a small bash script to iterate through all of the package delivery mechanisms' for updating everything?

Fixing and maintaining a linux box is good exercise. Ubuntu has been sucking, though. I've been on a straight Debian for about six months now.

You can host your own Git server.

I didn't say it was "empty words," I said it was immaterial, as in, from a legal standpoint.

What world are you living in? All but one or two televised media outlets bend over backwards with big money to run cover for the left. Are you seriously suggesting that CNN, MSNBC, and ABC disadvantage the Democrats?

I guess I just have a problem with your phrasing. You make it sound like if we worked to increase the number of sexual assaults that happen to men by women, this would be a solution to the problem.

A "playing field" is an analogy for a field of opportunities, like the job market or access to services like education.

The Nazi isn't the audience.

I think there's a difference here where there's a reasonable expectation of privacy, and where there is not. Out on the sidewalk, you don't have one. Selling someone's CC is a violation of contract law because you do have an expectation of privacy there. So, we have to be very clear, what kind of data are we talking about? "Sharon Thomas visited this site, looked at these items, spent 14.2 seconds looking at that item, then clicked on this link," I think, is not something you can expect privacy from.
However, there are some things I do think you have an expectation of privacy from, which is the collation and sale of personal information that the customer enters into the site for the purposes of business with that site, like the collation names with addresses, driver's license numbers, social security numbers (or whatever local equivalents), etc. Another thing is that, and I don't know if I'm 100% right here, but I believe that when you visit a site, even by typing an address into the address bar, the site you're visiting is told, by your browser, what site you're coming from. That doesn't make sense to me, and that's not a thing that should exist.

Nonetheless, I don't think the GDPR is a good fit for addressing any of these issues.

What "playing field" are you talking about, what is unequal, and what does this do to supposedly equalize this... playing field?

Why? I'm allowed to stand at a street corner and watch people walk by. I'm allowed to count them, and observe the direction they're going. I don't need any of their permission to do this. I'm allowed to know who they are, and I'm allowed to tell anyone I want what I saw. I'm allowed to charge money for it, and none of the people I observe are a party to this at all, so why should I need to either not do this, or tell them what I'm doing or ask for their permission to remember what I saw? How is internet tracking different?

The thing is, if someone makes observations about you, and save that in the form of data, that's not your data. It's their data. It might be about you, but people are allowed to observe and sell their observations.
