Off topic but wtf is a ‘legitimate interest’ and why do I have to untick each one individually
DPO here. Under GDPR (the european data privacy regulation), there are a number of “legal basis” definitions for why a company would process your data. The strongest bases are the performance of a contract or a regulatory requirement, and at the other end of the spectrum, a company can process your data if you consent for them to do so.
There is a “middle” category of legal basis which is “legitimate interest,” which is for companies to process your data because it is their line of business to do so, or it is part of a reasonable business process to do so. Marketing is an example. So if you post on Reddit about a positive experience you have had with a manufacturer of PC component, that manufacturer might scrape your blog post, and add you to their CRM. They might know your email address from your LinkedIn, and they could associate that with your buying activity for example, to put you in a specific category of customer.
These GDPR popups give you the perception that you can opt out of “legitimate interest” processing, when the reality is that there is no such right afforded to you under GDPR. Therefore the site is either relying on your consent but dressing it up as legitimate interest, or they are just wrong and using the wrong terminology.
Five Russian oil refineries set ablaze, four airfield strikes, a Lukoil offshore rig ablaze in the Caspian Sea – all in one night – noisily contradicted Trump’s claim that “Ukraine has no cards.”
Love that summary!
Five oil rigs!
Four airfield strikes,
Three French hens,
Two turtledoves,
And a rig in the Caspian Sea!
and a partridge in a pear tree
But Vlad said they have no cards!
If Vlad is talking cards, you know he’s bluffing.
What do they need cards for? They are not deciding this over a poker table. They have drones instead.
Ukraine attacking infrastructure, while Russia attacks schools and residential buildings
Ukraine is fighting for self defense. russia is fighting for lebensraum
Absolutely
Fuck ya! Give em hell!!!
Is russia able to repair/restore its oil refineries at fast enough pace, to continue producing oil with all those drone attacks?
They can always buy more oil from India.
It’s producing much less oil than it would have been without these strikes. At the minimum, it’s costing Russia a lot of money, and defensive wars are won by making it too expensive for the invaders to keep going.
