I found parts of the Django RAPID architecture [0] to speak to me. It specifically advocates for just one app. Here's a part of the justification. > Slicing up your project into apps is something that must be done early, often at th

> We regularly see legislation that is being rammed and rushed through in spite of vocal opposition. This implies that regulation is codified. The clear pattern of EU digital regulation doomerism is generally pointing at shitty proposals

They're proposals by a minority. I'd like to see it go to see chat control go to grave permanently, but I'd also rather not that the democratic system allows for the permanent barring an impossible to define class of proposal

What examples of this do you have in recent years (post 2016)? The clearest example of lobbying (chat control) has repeatedly been struck down.

Considering the absolute deluge of politicians and celebrities allegedly promoting financial scams on norwegian Facebook my hunch is absolutely not.

Access to read 1 million posts through the X API costs $5000/month. Enterprise access to their API costs $42 000 per month. Multiple researchers are being told by X that they must pay this fee to get access[1][2][3]. X has recently bee

This clearly has the goal of muddying the water of the DSA transparency requirements. It's an opaque way of trying to mislead users into believing that X is being transparent while not being so at all. They pretend to be transparent ab

There's a clear winner of surveillance in the set of the US government, US companies, and the EU government and EU companies. Not only is the EU miles behind the US, the US is accelerating faster towards more surveillance. Historically

Really abhorrent how the current US government is spinning this into their tried and true "free speech" crusade despite it being mostly irrelevant. The DSA's core goal is transparency, shown clearly in the X ruling. > The

That's a marketing role, not a product role.

Thanks, looks interesting. I may play around with it. I think what happened was that I landed on your page. Read the landing page, which only contained code. Scrolled to the top and clicked "install in minutes" and was unexpectedl

Please add more examples or a demo page or something. The gif and picture in the github repo is the single most descriptive part of your documentation, but a gif is terrible UX and a picture doesn't show off interactivity. This should

What a horrible take. I feel compelled to say that in my experience people in northern Europe can empathize with and separate the population from a dysfunctional two-party political system captured by capital.

That would make more sense if the law was limiting speech. But it has been clearly designed to not give governments the power to remove content/services/products that are not illegal. Content which is not directly illegal is cover

Thanks to some frankly amazing American propaganda there's a surge of interest in free speech in Europe. Funnily the same regulations that aim to remove toxic products, make platforms more transparent, and hold platforms more accountab

I'm newish to Django. Been using it for about a year. I had some experience with React earlier. But I'm more of a data engineer. Django Cotton [1] scratched my itch fully. Very composable. Being able to pass HTML to components (E.

> I would argue the opposite: It actually makes European businesses worth off by continuing to make its regulatory environment so complex only massive companies like big tech or Europe's legacy players have the resources to comply.

I think the issue arises from them doing this on the supply side of the market as well. Discriminating offers to drivers in order to prioritise people willing to drive for less. Or just finding ways to pay people less through algorithmic me

None of those use cases are broadly thought of as legitimate interest and explicitly require some sort of consent in Europe. Session cookies and profiles on logged in users is where I see most companies stretching for legitimate interest. B

The extrapolation to the entire Europe from a set of extreme outliers (Germany, understandably so, the UK, less so) is grossly disingenuous.

Plausible, Fathom, Umami and the others all do cookie-less tracking too. Why don't you add an option to track through cookies? Most serious businesses have the consent for putting analytics cookies there, especially if it's a firs

I don't know about Sweden particularly but in Norway "Forbrukerkjøpsloven" [0] gives you up to a 5 year warranty on any items which are obviously meant to last for at least that long. For instance, shoes have a two years warr
