The man is demonstrably not smart enough to pull off a joke that good deliberately

The link to the forum discussion in the article probably

There’s no way that’s satirical, there’s too much of it

I think heat typically intensifies over time: anecdotally, leftover hot food is always hotter a couple of days after it was freshly made

Everything about the Gingko tree is pretty cool

I think UIs are more typically patented if they do something unique.

I’m pretty sure we know there are some trademarked UI elements though—I’d be surprised if the start button wasn’t a Microsoft trademark at least when they launched windows 95

Rum or gin work too

Both are in the fediverse, perhaps think of them as distant galaxies

Also not a lawyer but I’ve done a lot of GDPR training since it was introduced and I believe you’re incorrect—the data subject posting it publicly or not doesn’t factor into the validity of a deletion request under the GDPR. There are a limited set of specific reasons a service owner can refuse a deletion request and they’re pretty much down to preventing abuse and facilitating compliance with other laws.

From your link

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person[15]

The “directly or indirectly” part is important here, a username is a constant identifier between a user’s posts and comments

Given comments and posts are free text input, there’s no way of knowing the entire set of a user’s content doesn’t contain PII, unless an admin wants to spend the time combing through and determining which posts definitely contain PII and which definitely don’t, they should delete it all. The data subject does not need to make specific listings of what they want deleted, the onus is on the service owner to be able to process the deletion request completely and within a timely manner.

Not an admin, but from a legal perspective, users in the EU have the right to request deletion of their data under the GDPR, which the consequences of violation are up to €10m or 2% of annual turnover (not profit), whichever is higher

Frankly, if a user asks a service owner to delete their personal data, the service owner should do it as promptly as possible.

Was gonna say, I’m sat on 2.2k comments apparently in about 15 months, which is surprising to me given I probably only comment on about half the days in any given week.

I will say compared to Reddit though, I tend to be more likely to comment here because there’re fewer people here and I want it to feel active enough for more people to continue joining (either lemmy in general, or just on smaller communities that don’t have a lot of activity yet).

Ah I’m not really familiar with using apple mobile devices for that kind of thing—I’d be surprised if apps don’t exist that can access those networks, but I guess apple likes to lock stuff down so you may need to jailbreak or something to do that

If you’re at all techie, you could look at getting a raspberry pi or something like that to do your downloads

Are you asking how to pirate albums on the internet? Because there’re literally a million ways to go about that

I’d say look into torrents, soulseek or Usenet

Telling on themselves a bit given the implication is that they’re so far behind every other country who’re definitely already doing the same

Steam deck finally got me working through my steam backlog again.

Might have played everything before I die now

A kebab (Berlin Donner ideally)

Protein and salad, minimal carbs compared to similar foods

Not strictly about life on a submarine, but Vigil by the BBC was a great fictional mini series based on the British nuclear submarines

You bang your head, pal?

The way things are going we’re all going to be dead before it gets to that point

This is a mostly automated job now, TV editing staff might give the output a once over, but that’s just going to be one small part of their editing job.

If you can type quicker than people speak, there’s still a handful of dedicated human roles in important news or political broadcasting where you absolutely can’t have a mistake in the transcription.
