Ironic to link to a website doing a similar thing - illegally using "legitimate interest" to justify data processing.


Here is the actual link

Techcrunch is useless.


@dang Can we update the URL?


>Can anyone make out if songs like this are specially mastered with separate vocal channels ... or if Apple is applying ML to do voice isolation

"Coupled with an ever-expanding catalog that features tens of millions of the world’s most singable songs"

"The vocal slider adjusts vocal volume, but does not fully remove vocals"

Based on the quantity and results it's ML like Spleeter (https://research.deezer.com/projects/spleeter.html).


Oh good catch on that last bit. I missed it when reading through.


I've been blocked from an Akamai fenced website because I used Firefox for Android. Not great when you have a plane ticket you need to change.


Your experience made me wonder how that blocking stands up against accessibility legal requirements in various countries.


JMAP is a replacement for IMAP. Unlike IMAP it has immutable IDs[0] but not much support[1].

I think it's sadly a bit of a chicken and egg problem, unless someone sets out to write support for servers (mostly dovecot I assume) and clients (web and desktop).

It would be worthwhile for many reasons not just the immutable IDs. I'd certainly donate to someone showing initiative working on this.


Emails should really be identified by Message-Id (which isn't guaranteed unique, but is very selective) and a hash of the body and a subset of the headers (e.g., excluding Received headers, and maybe using only Message-Id, Date, and From, maybe not even Subject).

A good email store is very searchable, and a good MUA searches email, and a good MAP gives the client temporary (ephemeral) handles for "open" emails.


>Maybe self-hosting could be made more common through selling a (cheap) appliance with self-hosted services pre-installed.

Mastondon-as-a-service exists eg https://masto.host/.

one-click-install mastodon exists too -eg https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/04/mastodon-now-available...

>The external noise emitted by passenger cars has been controlled since 1929 when the Motor Cars (Excessive Noise) regulations were introduced. New cars are now required to meet Europe-wide noise limits. These have been progressively reduced from 82 decibels (dB (A)) in 1978 to the current limit of 72 dB (A) established in 2016.



Nice link, thanks! With my searches I wasn't able to find it but this [1] looks promising. Let see how bit rot affects a 8 years old Linux release...

EDIT: mmh looks like it's now `libpst` and it's actually in the Debian/Ubuntu repos...


GDPR Article 16 gives you the right to have inaccurate personal information amended, taking in to account the purpose of the information.

A phone number used for this purpose would definitely identify a person, and so qualify as personal information.


Presumably you need to prove who you are to make changes to your record however. GDPR doesn’t give me the right or require a company to change a phone number if I call them up and tell them to change the number for some random name without proof of identity.


In the EU (and UK) you would have rights under GDPR to have your data corrected.

>Art. 16 GDPR Right to rectification

>1 The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

>2 Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.



Thanks! I saw this in a leaf comment of my original comment. Much better.
