Thank you!

I never heard that word I think (not a native speaker) and DDG only brings up some band, which I don’t think you mean here. What are the rubes?

Thank you!

That sounds interesting, do you have a source for that where I can read more by any chance?

I‘m not disagreeing with what you’re trying to convey but still: Mussolini very likely never said/wrote that, seems to have been misattributed. IF he did, the Italian word corporazioni, while technically translating to corporations, doesn’t refer to private companies, which in Italian are normally called società.

More info:

• Mussolini on the Corporate State
• Wikiquote - Benito Mussolini

My guess would be that the word „lying“ implies the intent to claim something untrue, which is hard to prove (not saying this isn’t the case here), opposed to „falsely claiming“ which includes situations where you actually believe what you’re saying even though it’s objectively false.

The GDPR is a regulation (that’s what the R stands for), not a directive. Directives must be transposed into national law by the member states, while regulations apply directly

I don’t even use windows anymore apart from my work laptop, where I can’t install stuff on my own anyway, but that still made me look up options for tiling window managers on windows rn. (Tiling windows managers amiright)
