Facebook group Meta fined €390 million |

The Facebook group Meta must pay a fine of 390 million euros for the use of personal data. The decision goes back to three complaints from 2018.
“Instead of a yes/no option for personalized ads, they simply moved the opt-in clause to the terms and conditions. This is not only unfair, but clearly illegal. We don’t know of any other company that has tried to ignore the General Data Protection Regulation in such an arrogant way,” says Max Schrems, founder of data protection NGO noyb.
In concrete terms, the Facebook group Meta, which also owns the social network Instagram and the messaging service WhatsApp, used personal data to display personalized advertisements.

Sleep Depravation and Creativity |

I've spent a lot of time writing songs over the years. The melodies and the instrumental parts usually come to me in bursts of inspiration and evolve as I'm recording the different parts, but lyrics are different in that I'll sit down and work on them for a few hours at a time. Sometimes there's writers block, and that can be a big challenge, especially when writing more poetic works.
Over the past few years, I started purposefully writing more of my lyrics on days when I'm much more sleep deprived. I've noticed that it tends to reduce my inhibitions and I tend to be less critical of what I'm writing, which allows more creative lyrics and ideas to flow. I do, of course, have to revise them later, but sometimes the initial drafting process comes together much more easily.
When do you find that you're the most creative? Have you ever tried writing through more tiredness than usual as a means of boosting creativity in your ideas?

What code editors do you use? |

Personally, VS Code remains my "daily driver" - but I did install Geany for the times that I want something Notepad++-like. Geany is nice because it's much more lightweight for editing files that aren't a part of a project (such as a quick config change, or to draft something that is about to be copy/pasted onto a server).
What code editors do you use, and why?

Favorite YouTube Channels |

Youtube is pretty much saturated with content on just about any category these days, but there are still some very creative channels that are very entertaining and sometimes educational. I'm a big fan of Mr. Beast, Linus Tech Tips, and Practical Engineering. PBS Space Time is also very interesting, alongside a number of other educational channels.
What channels do you watch most often on YouTube?

For me, I speak some Spanish (took three semesters of it in university and have a few hispanic friends that I could practice with). Not at an expert level by any means, still learning to an extent.
Do you speak more than one language? If so, which ones (and how did you learn)?
