> "I understand that I can withdraw my consent at anytime." I attempted to keep my consent withdrawn by not checking the "I agree to receive stuff I don't want" check-box, but the interface refused to let me re-confirm my mailing list subscription. So I closed the browser window without proceeding. It's time to move the mailing list to another provider. The entity that currently hosts this mailing list (Sourceforge, Slashdot, Dice -- pick the name-of-the-day) now have an ongoing history of disrespect. Even http://www.geeqie.org/ says on its homepage: """The project was previously hosted on SourceForge, but we moved to gitosis when SF decided to bundle malware with their downloads. The mailing list is the only infrastructure we still use from SF.""" I suggest we consider https://savannah.nongnu.org/ for a new mailing list. It aligns closely with our ethos, and meets requirements. Dare I quote Linus' law: "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow"... given enough /non-renewed/ subscriptions to the project mailing list there won't be any eyes left... -- Paul. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel
