The modlog seems also good on mobile browsers.

They only mentioned opioids, so there are a ton of other options which can add special effects to your daily life ;)

On Reddit it felt useless to comment, when I found an interesting topic the discussion was already drowning with one word comments and other useless stuff. Here on Lemmy the discussions feel more genuine. Probably it’s because the userbase is more mature, or the nature of Lemmy is not to generate money.

Yeah my browsing time has gone down compared to Reddit. But Lemmy has far less mindless content, if I’m on here I’m more engaged and actively read articles linked or write comments.

Never meant to defend oracle. I dislike them even more than IBM.

Here is the source blog post from oracle: https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/keep-linux-open-and-free-2023-07-10/

RedHat really fucked up with this move. I know RedHat employees and everyone from RedHat I met so far was proud they work there and how much open source meant to the company. I guess there will be more and more redhatters looking for new opportunities in the coming months.

I would say if you feel sick call in.

Personally I called in even with a headache or when I wasn’t in the right headspace to work properly. Take care of yourself first.

Depending on how your company handles things of course.

No, they won’t loose all content. I think the quality will just get worse and worse depending on what you view as quality. For the average social media user it probably will be good enough, or it will develop into reposts from other mainstream platforms.

Mass exodus maybe in terms of power users. The average Reddit user used the official client before the api restrictions. My guess is that many people who posted good stuff ditched Reddit.

Then message the server admins or you create a PR on the lemmy github page with the missing information. The missing legal footnotes is an issue you have to take up with them or the upstream lemmy repo on github.

I’m also no expert, just trying to learn more about the topic as it’s kind of interesting to see how other people are interpreting it.

Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.

Wouldn’t the auth cookie fall into the strictly necessary category?

There is only one cookie present when I inspect the Cookies with my browsers dev tools. Which seems to be the auth token for my account.

I agree, there is definitely work to be done regarding compliance.

But this won’t be shared or processed outside of the instance as far as I can tell.

At least use the whole sentence when quoting to avoid confusion.

Looking through the activityStreams definition it seems only Usernames are shared (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#actors), which is already personal Data according to another comment (https://lemmy.world/comment/929906)

Disclaimer: I have no law degree and everything in this post is speculative.

After reading up on GDPR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) it deals with the transfer of personal data to entities outside the EU or EEA for processing. The definition of personal data would be the main point to see if/how GDPR is applicable to lemmy instances. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_data)

Your IP address and EMail address could be classified as personal data from my point of view. But this won’t be shared or processed outside of the instance as far as I can tell. If your username and associated posts are classified as personal data I can’t say, but there seems no connection of these to your IP or Mail outside the instance. According to this TechDispatch (https://edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our-work/publications/techdispatch/2022-07-26-techdispatch-12022-federated-social-media-platforms_en) the instances still must adhere to GPDR, but as there is not much or no processing of personal data taking place this should pose no issue.

All of this is based on a bit of research, so please enlighten me if I made any mistakes.

OpenAI is currently being sued because they used everything they could fin to train their AI models. We will see how that works out.

I didn’t mean to pretend that this will be any different. My hope is, that there will be some people who will see that there is an alternative to big tech and maybe drop Threads in favour of a real fediverse instance.

Yeah there is more content on Reddit or FB/IG, but that doesn’t mean, that the content there is useful to users in the fediverse.
