The #EU #DataProtection Officer warns the #Parliament about #datatransfer to #Google and #stripe.

Also die #Ryzen 6000 #Prozessoren vom #AMD, Codename #Rembrandt, machen einen sehr interessanten Eindruck auf mich.
Und wenn diese auch auf den #Desktop kommen, dann wäre das toll!

Those who want to curtail free expression and open public discourse never want their own freedoms to express themselves limited.
