Supabase provides a free tier Postgres. There are of course limits to the size, and they will pause your project if it is inactive for 7 days.

Fun fact: If you report the ad, it skips that ad and all remaining ones and goes straight to the video.
I found out that if you do that enough times, your account will permanently lose the ability to report ads. At least, the option is no longer present on my account.
It's interesting that this is highlighted in a British paper, as this is due to EU regulations that the UK will soon not be bound by. And the British government has already announced that they are ready to "seize the benefits of Brexit" by cutting down on such business hostile regulations as privacy [0] and human rights [1].
I would guess that this change will be rolled back in the UK as soon as it becomes legal.

hkh28 commented on 3 years of GDPR: The biggest fines so far bbc.co.uk/news/technology... · Posted by u/alexanderdmitri
It still basically does not differentiate between Epic Games and me. And I can’t handle the fines. The chilling effect this will have on people is being downplayed pretty harshly by people who are basically suggesting you should just pray that you don’t get put into massive debt because you made a mistake on a side project.
For that reason, GDPR will always draw some ire from me.
GDPR fines are set among other things according to the resources of the entity that broke the rules. As a private person making a side project, you won't be liable for millions.
The most recent examples of individuals being fined have been fines around €200 [0]

> Audio and Video can be saved for offline mode, for playback when you don’t have internet, but they cannot be downloaded and moved to a separate device.
The missing download and export function seems like an obvious and very annoying omission.
Hopefully it can be added in the future.
It is probably to make it harder for Google/Apple to remove the app, or for Youtube to justify blocking the app from working with their videos.
What is it with you people and dark modes? I can't look at light-on-dark for longer than a few seconds before my eyes start hurting, no matter whether it's in bed or during the day.
This is very different for people. I have some issues with my sight causing pages that are mostly white to be painful to look at. Over time, it triggers migraines. But I know people with the opposite issue. So as an accessibility feature, websites should offer both modes.
Lack of TouchID on newer models is one of the main reasons I've yet to upgrade from my iPhone 8.
Stayed with my iPhone 7 until iPhone 12 for the same (main) reason. Being able to have the phone unlocked on the way from my pocket was fantastic. Unlocking with Face ID takes at least two seconds extra, every time.
Touch ID is an entirely superior technology and Apple is profoundly stupid for removing it. It doesn't have to be in the screen, just put it on the back. The lengths they'll go to offset the removal of Touch ID are astounding, from IR face tracking, to degraded biometric security, and now to requiring an Apple Watch to unlock the phone with your mask on. Talk about a Rube Goldberg machine.
Completely agree. The new iPad Air even got it integrated in the sleep button, so Apple has the ability to continue offering Touch ID on all devices and keep the full screen display.
That does get complicated in the real world. You might need to retain some data for potential future refunds, for example. But perhaps the application that does refunds also does the loyalty program, and the internals of the app aren't always separate enough that you can delete/obfuscate/whatever info from just the loyalty part.
> You might need to retain some data for potential future refunds, for example.
Then that would be a legitimate interest, and you could store that information for a period of time that is reasonable for processing refund requests.
But you would be barred from using that same information for a different purpose, e.g. the loyalty program.
GDPR article 25 requires systems to be have privacy built in, so a system such as the one you describe where a separation of these concerns is impossible, would probably itself be in violation of the regulation.
