I think that instead of doing that, you should post it on both your other blog and dev.to. In fact, such posts aren’t uncommon. You can of course write something like “This post was originally posted on <other blog name>.” at the top and link to the original one.
Aging Java back-end guy. Ironically although I got my github thinking I'd fill it with nifty stuff I'd do in Java on my own time, I've ended up sticking a load of JavaScript on it instead!
That's a good idea. I used to use Tumblr as my main spouting-off blog & I'd just link it wherever but TBH people don't usually bother clicking links, so it doesn't drive traffic up that much, and with Tumblr being taken over by Oath & having that whole privacy thing I didn't feel I could trust Oath with my political or professional views so shut it down. Then a few months later a drama flares up concerning an organisation I have loose ties to & I'm like "Yeah! I said as much when this first came up - see my blog... post... Oh crap."
I hate this Oath dialog I get on every other site. Most regular sites just pop up a cookie "accept / reject" popup and that's it. With Oath you get the entire site blocked until you either click accept or spend 10 minutes to disable some of tbe tracking. I don't get how that is GDPR compliant.
You could potentially argue that that popup is the most GDPR compliant popup out there...
Except for when you go to manage who gets to see your data and you have to uncheck the hundreds of companies that you don't want to see it, because they've assumed your consent which is against GDPR compliance.
Yes, that is exactly what I mean! From what I understand, GDPR does not allow for companies to make it so difficult and time consuming for the users to decline tracking that they are practically forced to "agree" because they are pressed for time or don't understand the complicated options (or by making it look as if "accept" is the only option when it not).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
