Data protectionists sounds so extreme. It’s just some cool dudes fighting for our basic rights. Thanks cool dudes. Sorry you have to fight in the first place.
A governmental-ish site I’m required to use doesn’t push notifications as mails, so you have to login daily to check for updates. Updates may happen multiple times daily or once a month. I automated my server to access the site once a day with my credentials, screenshot the notifications, parse them with ocr, and send myself a mail.
