Trump got shot at a rally, very minor injuries, would be assassin dead

I browse Reddit only for one sub, a country-specific one that is reasonably niche. Right when the API migration happened, there seemed to be a very visible migration of Facebook/Instagram people migrating over to Reddit. Posts asking where to find Instagram/Facebook functionality came in daily, and the overall quality of both comments and posts degraded a lot, suddenly posts had a ton of comments with one word and a ton of emojis.

That’s my point, I always have a reasonable suspicion of anything I get from the Internet, but I don’t trust any site just because some underpaid functionary or corporate employee in its respective country said it’s good.

So what are trustworthy TLDs?

You must live with very closed-minded people if people make fun of you just because you pronounce a German company’s name like the German company does. That said, be happy and pronounce stuff as you like, it’s not like it really matters.

That’s about as accurate as if I was adamant that the USA was not pronounced yoo-ess-ey, but ooh-sha, like everyone around me said it for as long as I can remember.

Non-anglophone countries exist, and there are actually more of them with more people than anglophone countries, and most of these projects come from non-anglophone countries.

I guess Linux projects tend to come from around the world, instead of US boardrooms and marketing desks.

Linux is Finnish, SUSE is German, so is KDE, Ubuntu is South African, GNOME is Mexican (?).

Some vegan cheeses have more to do with cheese than American cheese

Yeah, but then the “tax optimization” done by the wealthy is grand theft.

Wouldn’t capturing in high-res, then scaling down or compressing the picture/video defeat the noise filter? Or if you threw a bit of noise on it yourself?

They also don’t call their phones… phones, or smartphones even, it’s always iPhone.

I just want to mention that I hate that Microsoft seems to think that they own the term “Personal Computer”.

Yeah, I actually suspect it’s not guns, but the US gun culture itself.

The bottom of the helmet looks stormtrooper-like enough to send a few Disney lawyers salivating

So unpopular opinion here: the diagram is a bit skewed in making a point. It’s not that private systems are inherently worse, or more expensive. I’ve lived in a country with single payer, and now I’m in a country with privatized healthcare. I’m paying much less here with a much better standard of care.

The problem as I see it in the US is that if one group in power (such as corps in the US) gets outsized power in the process, then the system will work for them instead of for the people. Even the current US healthcare system would work well if there were some common sense regulations in place.

That said, switching to single payer would also fix the current issue by removing the power of corps. I’m just saying that single payer is no silver bullet at all, and you can fuck that up as well.

I was going to write a long ass answer to this, but tbh I’m tired of you asking and me answering the same question over and over again while not providing any source for your claims.

• Lemmy holds PII. Usernames and other online identifiers are PII according to GDPR Art 4/1 and legal practice as well. Photos people upload of themselves, people claiming to be Jews or from some country in comments are all PII. You have just said “oh but they are not” without backing up your claims. If nothing else, the fact that Reddit, the site which this is a clone of, holds PII should convince you if the relatively plain words of the law don’t.

• Lemmy processes data. According to GDPR Art 4/1 data processing does not involve sales of data, just “any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction”. Again, you have not found anything to back up your claim that “it actually doesn’t and selling and processing is the same”.

• GDPR applies to nonprofits, even non-commercial entities, private individuals, government institutions as evidenced by fines. You claim an exception for “forum owners for free instances” without even trying to back it up, and are asking me to prove a negative, again without providing any evidence of your own.

So the real question is, let’s say you’re an admin of some instance that grows to some noticeable size. Would you trust your gut feeling of “I hate EU regulations, and they shouldn’t apply to me either” before some random country you probably never heard of sends you a letter that you pay them some large amount of money? Or would you implement basic delete functionalities on your website and sleep easy?

Nice moving the goalposts there. You said “not selling anything”. I think police officers or the “Association for the prevention and study of crimes, abuses and negligence in information technology and advanced communications” don’t sell stuff, they were fined nevertheless.

If I put a link to for example this case where a small social media provider got fined for nothing more than not handling data well, you could move the goalposts even further.

Or you could look at the countless cases brought against private individuals where they of course are not selling things. Austria fined a guy under GDPR for having a dashcam!

So again, you made a claim that there is an exception under GDPR for “forum owners of foss”. Let’s see evidence for that claim.

And where did you read that? If anything, public usernames are easier to correlate to form identities.
