EU already has this with the GDPR. Only limitation are retention periods required by law, like employee data needs to be kept for ten years in Germany for example, but for the duration whoever has the data must block it from being processed for anything but the legal requirment, as that becomes the legal basis for processing (storing in this case) and no other uses are allowed until deletion.

Only applies to EU citizens though plenty companies have implemented straightforward ways to delete an account for everyone.

This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it’s not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??

I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.

But following the announcement, he received a text from “a very good friend who is the mother of a trans child,” linking him to a Book Riot op-ed entitled, An Open Letter to John Lithgow: Please Walk Away from Harry Potter.

As for whether the criticism has soured the role for him, Lithgow replied, “Oh, heavens no.”

Oh fuck off. Shame, I really liked 3rd Rock from the Sun.

“Dopamine Nation” is a good book on this whole issue. I really wonder how much the dead internet theory might play a role in eventually breaking this cycle, or just younger generations being contrarian to older generations.

Completely mind boggling what’s going on there. The amount of work to be put in to fix all this is enormous. I truly wish everyone involved nerves of steel and the best of luck.

Good.

Thank you, appreciate it! Added the link to the body of it, too.

Sorry, here’s the link. The crosspost somehow doesn’t share the link off the original post and just pulls the thumbnail… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYW6HEVBCI

Hey, I don’t quite understand your point. It’s entirely about the process and thoughts around migrating to Linux from the point of view of someone who has never attempted it. It’s about adaptation. If it does not fit the sub, I do apologize for crossposting here and will not do so in the future.

I posted the link in the original post, seems to have gotten lost, sorry. As others have said, it’s a video essay where I talk about the experience of it.

I do apologise if that doesn’t fit this sub. I had to fight a bit through stuff because I game and stream and that was what held me back from attempting it in the first place. Here’s the link :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYW6HEVBCI

If the remastered versions add modern controls that’d be super. It’s the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.

I read Macron and was wondering how the French suddenly had that one in the bag as a country.

Wouldn’t have thought they could do it, but very happy they did. Let’s see how long it lasts.

It’s because it is ineffective and doesn’t have any consequences if they fail. Withdrawing will prompt blue states to push even harder om regulation, as well as the EU possibly waking up. I think they are afraid of the Streisand effect, nothing more.

I truly believe the world would be a much better place if there was a clear cutoff for wealth. But of course, there would still be weasles out there circumventing such measures. Greed is such an incredibly harmful thing.

Not a single redeeming thing about billionaires. Not a single one. Their “philanthropy” would be entirely unneeded, if they simply paid their fair share back to society, without which they wouldn’t have what they have in the first place.

I don’t post nearly as much as I would like, because I post some stream related stuff in my own community on lemmy and don’t know want to come off as someone who is trying to advertise all the time. I have been reported for that posting to my own community, which… ya know. I get it, nobody cares about yet another streamer dude, but it is a bit intimidating almost.

“We thought the unwashed masses would kill each other for the chance to give us all their money for something intangible and entirely devoid of value, but it appears they are even poorer than we thought they were.”

I feel like I saw something on that topic before and no organic matter would survive being hurled out of our atmosphere. It’d burn up entirley and nothing would be left. Maybe if it was like… a sphere with a cave inside?

Cool! Didn’t trust them before, now I can trust them even less.

Tonight on stream I decided my first piece of merch will be a sleeping blindfold with the eyes of my avatar on it.

Now I only need about 15.000 more followers and 1500 more subscribers on twitch to make it actually a viable thing.
