Shout-out to the cops my friend overheard pondering the identity of the prolific vandal.

> Who is this ACAB anyway?

I just saw some videos on bird site of fires in Paris. Having lived in the city for several years with a flat and a workplace in close proximity to much of the action:

1. It looks worse than it is.
2. The cops by far are the most dangerous element involved.
3. Parisians typically react with mild annoyance to the associated transit delays. Nobody cares about that burning car over there.
4. The worst damage I ever saw was a result of the world cup celebration, not a protest.

Ah, then I'm happy to have helped to tease out a bug!😅

Regular expressions are hard. I've definitely had similar bugs in my software before.

@preciselyprivate @cryptpad The original link works for me.. what happened on your end?

Step 1. Make sure you don't have any old Trello boards set to public.

Step 2. Try out CryptPad.fr/kanban/

It doesn't yet match Trello's feature set, but its end-to-end-encryption makes it unlikely to end up on the front page of Google.

We've planned a big round of improvements over the next few months, including markdown support, comments on cards, tags. and a sleeker interface.

Designing for privacy is as much about preventing accidents as stopping bad actors.

Google indexes Trello boards and uncovers passwords, API keys, bank account information, and more.

@blobyoumu Oh, speaking of breaking the law, the police are also illegal.

@dansup is dubstep british? I had no idea.

In light of this news, yes, dubstep is also illegal in the EU.

It is now officially illegal to play the beatles, rolling stones, oasis, spice girls, and other british bands throughout Europe as the UK joins Atlantis at the bottom of the ocean.

Sorry everyone, I don't make the rules.

The GDPR is broadly considered the global standard, but even it is really soft when it comes to the definition of legitimate use-cases for data processing. So-called legitimate use cases can entirely bypass consent.

The problem is that these legit cases are evaluated and argued by people that don't understand better alternatives than the status quo.

We could do a lot better.

Lots of recommendations to get a lawyer to handle complex issues...

I have to say: legal compliance is an incredibly low bar, even from the perspective of international privacy law.

Example: after watching for more than an hour I just heard the first mention of encryption.

I'm watching the Data Privacy Day 2020 live stream (staysafeonline.org/dpd20-live/) and I've spent about half of the time yelling at my screen.

There have been a few great speakers and panelists, but the demographic skews really heavily to the corporate/lawyer side of things.

If these are really the most authoritative voices they could find on the topic I can't imagine they spent a long time looking.
