Google Maps changed its URL from "https://maps [dot] google [dot] com" to "https://google [dot] com/maps".
Looks like it's not a big deal, but when you grant the location permission in your browser you now grant it to the whole #google [dot] com domain. 🤨

@ministryprivacy we zijn nu wel erg dicht bij het 'Chinees model'
Slimme camera’s gaan gsm’ende bestuurders nu echt beboeten dankzij achterpoortje in proefproject hln.be/binnenland/slimme-cam…
Het ‘liberaal vuur’ van de laatste jaren:

- Uitrol ANPR-netwerk (coalitie federaal / lokaal: Somers, De Clercq, Quickenborne, …)
- Vingerafdrukken: coalitie federaal.
- Dataretentie (2022, Van Quickenborne).
- (…).

Every time someone claims they are using "legitimate interests" to track you... what they actually mean is that they looked at GDPR, and found a loophole (or so they think), so that they can keep violating your privacy.

NEW VIDEO!
In the the mid-80s, the Belgian city of Charleroi started building a metro line.
But with half the stations completed, and the track already in place, construction stopped.
The line never opened.
What happened? And how much is still there?

YES. I think about this literally every day as I laboriously customize the cookie consents on almost every site I visit. Thanks for summing up this issue so well @thenicatmanafov.

Why can't I drag a folder from Finder to a "Save" or "Open" dialog in MacOS Monterey any longer? Instead of switching to that folder in the dialog, now the dragged folder is moved to that location... //cc @AppleSupport

A company that is famous for selling JPEGs of Bored Apes on the internet raised $320 million this weekend by selling 55,000 parcels of virtual land in their metaverse & people paid with a currency called ApeCoin.
That legitimately would have sounded insane just a few years ago.

New Belgian data retention law would make the best-by-far (as recognized by experts) private messaging app @signalapp illegal, making Belgium 5th member in a cozy club with Iran, China, Cuba, and Uzbekistan. Please reconsider, @VincentVQ. standaard.be/cnt/dmf20220429…
