I don’t know about you, but I find seeing things to be much easier when there isn’t a planet obscuring it.
A wave hit it
Really doesn’t matter to be honest. Whichever distro you choose, you’ll be able to program somehow. Pop_Os! is a good bet for graphics cards issues though, so I’d say roll with it.
Hitler was by never popularly elected. Not even by his peers. He overthrew the government after quite forcibly taking leadership in the Nazi party.
That said, I agree that good and popular are not the same.
Maybe their torso is on correctly, but it’s actually their legs that are on backwards
I have a throbbing inkling!
Asking for info: What’s you specific concern regarding this information? Is it that data is accessible in the USA, you don’t trust the company?
Never lose a game of musical chairs tho
Creep? What a strange word to use…
“The government are spying on us without our consent. The people need to know about this”
You think the “creep” in that scenario is Edward?
Might just be my experience but in the UK at least, it’s almost exclusively women who drive cars like this. Men more commonly drive vans and super large vehicles to be fair, but specifically larger than necessary, non-tradesman style cars (Land Rovers, very clean, empty pick-ups etc.)
They’re “complaining” about unique qualities of their art being used, without consent, to create new things which ultimately de-value their original art.
It’s a debate to be had, I’m not clearly in favour of either argument here, but it’s quite obvious what they’re upset with.
Don’t oversimplify though, remember you need to put lightning into it first!
It was hardly a scandal. They complied with their local laws, as would be expected. They’re very well-known to be a swiss company. Complying with swiss law shouldn’t be a surprise.
A more fair criticism would be that, after this event they changed the precise wording in their marketing (and maybe tos?) to more accurately reflect what they could offer.
They can wipe their tears with the money. Both of these giants have good cause for some damn expensive lawyers.
I completely agree that sharing it with other instances is a problem.
You can bet your behind that Big Tech and governments are harvesting ALL of it as we speak.
This is super nitpicky, but assuming it exposed even a minute amount of the data that Reddit freely ships to whoever buys it (including governments), I actually think it's far less likely to be seen. Social media companies are well-known to freely give access to anything law enforcement, governments or advertisers would like. Most if not all, have exposed APIs which allow law enforcement at least to collect almost any data at their leisure. This data is packaged up by the orgs who have the data.
Scraping Lemmy for this information would require their own solutions, and backends to handle all the data. Here in the UK, our tecnically-inept government famously broke their multi-billion COVID test-and-trace system because the excel spreadsheet they used as a database, ran out of lines...
Even assuming it's true that all of these groups have bothered to make their own solutions and bought server space to store the data themselves for a relatively tiny (certainly until very recently), the only data they get is who liked what post/comment.
That is a small snowflake compared to the iceberg that other social media organizations collect, package and sell. Facebook for example collect enough data that they earn more per user than Netflix.
Certainly, as Lemmy and ActivityPub gain more traction, this is a privacy hole which deserves some consideration, and should be immediately plugged. But I just don't think it's in the same solar system as exposing data to any social media site.
