RE: Plausible, you should have checked their compliance and terms and conditions after checking demo and using it. There are some gotchas to be aware of (lack of DPO, being one red flag). Going umami, matomo would have been cheaper and safer.

It is very close, but it not the same.

> When organisations seek to protect their user’s data, it is necessary that they understand the data they need to safeguard. Personal data, in the context of GDPR, covers a much wider range of information than personally identifiable information (PII), commonly used in North America. In other words, while all PII is considered personal data, not all personal data is PII.

When you say PII in context of GDPR you are simply using wrong term.

PII is not GDPR term. PII is used some US-specific acts, like HIPPA.

Did you mean Personal Data?

If I can avoid retarded Shopify ads, I would seriously consider. It would be nice change from bunch of individual Patreon subscriptions.

Spotify has enough power to say that podcasters should have ad free feed for premium subscribers or get deplatfromed. Obviously I would expect Spotify to pay podcasters.

The idea of paid, premium service with ads is ridiculous.

I could easily pay for WhatsApp if it wasnt Facebook/Meta.

With it being Meta I can be sure I will pay and still have my data and privacy violated.

Omg I literally puke with Shopify ads in podcasts.

Whats the point of paid, premium service like Spotify if I keep being served those stupid, dishonest and bordeline illegally deceiving Shopify ads every 15 minutes.

Ah yes, the circle jerk of HN focuses not on technology or news but how "Europe falls behind". Mods are silent as always.

Exactly.

Use OVH, Hertzner, Scaleway, etc.

Need managed services beyond scope of the above? There will be plenty of business (smaller and larger) offer you managed solution on top of other cloud providers.
