I made the icy-nord and icy-nord-darker themes.

Very interesting doc! Its sad how this is the state of things, but something must be done. I hope with the news weve been receiving from Germany recently that this will change long term, and not just for the current government. Hopefully it will snowball and have a ripple effect on other EU countries.
Ive been looking for something like this for a while. Ill need to try it out
Ah, a man of culture
Depressing but thanks for the help :/
This is sad, but thanks for the insight
It shows the message too
If i dont consent though they cant sell my data to ad companies, right?
Very helpful reply, thanks for that…
I have little faith in my country’s data protection officer who is responsible for handling stuff like this. I had to deal with them while making a complaint about reddit not complying with the GDPR by not allowing me to remove upvotes/downvotes in a reasonable manner, and also after manually deleting all my posts and comments there were still 2 comments that show up on my reddit profile only if it is viewed “signed out” (i.e. from an incognito browser), but not while I am signed in to the account. There is no way to delete them from within my account. The reply I got from them after several months was that since there was no identifiable data in those 2 comments and since after deleting the account it would show up as u/deleted that my case was closed.
The incompetence of my government officials (more so than any other country) would be a laughing matter if I wasn’t so angry about the whole situation.
tl;dr: My country’s data protection officer and office is a joke and I have lost faith in them to be able to handle anything. I am considering going directly to the Irish DPO if that is who meta ultimately answers to.
This seems to work for now. Thanks
Where can I find a good example of a GDPR compliant email to request any and all my data that they have, to request it to be deleted, and to delete my account?
Thanks for the site! What channel are you saying to sign up for? YouTube?
Excuse you! But also I do hate myself
I started with ubuntu initially, and appreciate the fact that it wasnt entirely foreign to me coming from windows. Being a techy person, whenever something broke I obviously had to use the terminal to fix it (because all forum posts online use it for troubleshooting) but it was nice to ease into it. Once I got comfortable with that I then moved on to more non-windows like distributions, and eventually ended up where I am now - with arch and a tiling window manager - something entirely different to windows. If I had started with this Im not sure I would have stuck it out.
So my take on your take is that while you have valid points, we need to always take situations with context. Sure, I wouldn’t (and don’t) recommend super windows-like distros to the guys at my work (IT) who are more technically capable, but if my grandmother or grandfather used computers and for whatever reason we needed to make the switch to linux, I would try to make the transition as seamless and familiar as possible, so I might even have made their UI look like windows. Computers are tools at the end of the day, and every person has something different they want to get out of them.
Not sure if done on purpose or you didn’t realise at the time, but you basically just (i hope xD) rickrolled the piped devs and anyone else looking at the issues in future for solutions 🤣
Lord cat thanks you for your offering and expects more next week
Me too, and an illogically large amount of our work revolves around fixing the HP printers for our staff
Brand is HP/Samsung
Yea, I feel like we all had a feeling before even reading that part. Can’t offer any advice other than getting a different brand, as well as this link to a fun little article I read from a few posts above yours in my feed:
Evidence of life elsewhere in the universe. It would be so cool. I just hope its far enough we cant get there and fuck everything up for them (or that they cant do the same to us)
