This has nothing to do with GDPR, but nice try. By default you need to provide your details for domain registration, to hide these details is optional.

Nothing wrong with that, but coupled with hiding yourself on open source project as well and coupled with host which proudly advertises:

Dedicated Servers & VPS with DMCA Ignored Hosting

No, thanks. Probably Russkis but still.

Actually the entire whois database is "privacy protected" because of GPDR (if my memory is correct)

Thankfully, because I used to get postal scams for the hundred or so domains I used to host.

You good for tinfoil bro?

Hidden project members, masked domain info and offshore hosting designed to avoid dcma. No thanks.

In countries other than the USA there are strict controls on personal information.

The UK/European countries have GPDR for example.

I don't think it's a lack of comprehension, so much as that we disagree what a "port" means.

I was correcting the user's "plan9" comment.

It's a port of a collection of plan 9 userspace to a non-9 operating system.

Perhaps you've now learnt something

Yes, it's a plan9 port; why would you expect it to change any more than is absolutely needed to get it running on the new host OS?
opless · 6 months ago
Yes, not plan9.

I despair at your (and GGP) lack of comprehension

It's plan9. It is supposed to be at once weird and somewhat fitting.

NI is not ID for working. It's a tax identifier.

The ID for working system is https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work , with its digital ID "share code" https://www.gov.uk/view-right-to-work

(what does the digital ID scheme add to this again?)

opless · 6 months ago
Yes, and to be paid via PAYE you need a NI number.

The prove right to work is a slightly newer thing thats additional

Not really. British governments have always been increasingly authoritarian.

The stated reason is to stop illegals working.

Unfortunately we have an ID for working, called a national insurance number. We literally can't get legally paid without it.

So a National ID card ... Is irrelevant. You still need this number for benefits, etc.

I've got an NI number, a driving license and a passport. Not to mention a NHS number.

I don't need another form of identification to link together everything about me so my government can leak everywhere.

Sorry, you're not trying hard enough to find bad cases of terrible professional software.

Besides, the article reads like a noob using xcode for the first time.
