Basically what we already know. Reddit is restoring comments that have been deleted by users possibly in violation of data privacy laws.
Louis goes a little farther by sharing the story of one particular user who tried multiple ways to delete their content including manually deleting every single comment one by one. Then to answer Reddit's response that user data is "anonomized" by disassociating it with the user account when the user deletes their account, the user points out that at least one of their posts has their full name in it, and by restoring that post against the user's wishes, they've violated California's data privacy laws.
He then goes into his typical cynical rant which I personally find entertaining but I know he rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
Ah, het is angelsaksische taalverpaupering! Hihi. Nu ik er over nadenk, er is volgens mij geen gebruikelijke Nederlandse afkorting voor ‘goed om te weten:’.
Tijd om een nieuwe afkorting te maken, zou ik zeggen! Ik kan alleen WWW (wetenswaardig weetje) bedenken; wellicht een beetje verwarrend, dus als iemand iets beters weet, zal ik die zeker gebruiken om de taalverpaupering tegen te gaan.
Sinds een tijdje geabonneerd op het kanaal van Nieuwsuur. Ze maken zeer interessante (korte) reportages! Laatst ook een interessante bekeken over de ontwikkeling van de bevolking dit decennium.
There already are Linux standards, its just that there are lots of people developing their own distros. Asking people who are developing in their free time to contribute to a collective solution if they don’t want to is forcing them to do something they don’t want to do in their free time.
Linux will become big in countries that encourage their governments and companies not to use Windows, and eventually there will be a few major players for desktop beyond the big 3 for enterprise (Suse, Ubuntu, Redhat)
Astra Linux in Russia is becoming the mass adopted Linux, the longer the war goes, the more companies that won’t be able to renew Microsoft licenses, the more adoption of Linux will increase.
Deepin Linux (China UOS) gets about 500 posts on it’s forums in Chinese per day. That version of Linux will likely become the dominant desktop OS in China by ~2030 if the USA continues sanctions.
Linux Mint has incrementally been growing a user base and donations every month. 5 years ago they were getting 7,000 euros on average per month, today they get 12,000 euros on average per month.
I’m not worried about Linux Desktop anymore, it’s a permanently established common good even if the majors like Red Hat and Ubuntu fold. And just like Lemmy and Mastodon popped up, at some point in the future Microsoft will do something greedy with Windows and people will flock to a few distros and it’ll all be over then.
I have a set of 6 virtorinox steak knives from the 90s, that turned into general purpose kitchen knifes. They are now finally starting to become blunt. The black platic handles are smooth from use. 30 years on, ithink the time is approaching for them to be replaced. And that is only because I cannot sharpen the serated blades.
I think more important than which knife to get is how to properly sharpen them. It doesn’t matter which knife you purchase, it will need to be sharpened at some point.
I have a decent headphone collection, and I'd say I'd rather get some decent IEMS rather than a pair of koss. I don't like the koss sound or design. For the price of these I got the kiwi ears cadenza which are some of my favorite IEMS for cheap listening and use. I have much more expensive IEMS but the cadenzas are great still.
