Deleting my Twitter account and data - Twitter not complying with GDPR

I filed a GDPR deletion request with Twitter a couple of weeks ago. It was quite a challenge to find a way to contact Twitter (for anyone who wants to you can do so via: secure.ethicspoint.com/…/default_reporter.asp) - but I finally succeded. I did not simply wanted to deactivate my account I want all of my data to be deleted...

Instance Assistant v1.2.6 is out - Redirect user profile pages

This is a very small update, but hopefully it’s helpful! As I mentioned in the last update, I’m a little tied up with other commitments right now, so I haven’t had a chance to implement the other features on the to-do list. This one was requested the other day, and it was simple to add since I could reuse a lot of existing...

Should I worry about "legitimate interest" tracking cookies?

I know they’ve been around since the GDPR came into effect, but I’ve suddenly noticed a sharp increase in the cookie prompts on web pages which have a second “legitimate interest” page. Some of these have an “object all” button, but plenty require you to manually opt-out of sometimes hundreds of ad-trackers....

How should I get started?

Hello y’all! I’ve always been interested in computers and programming for as long as i can remember, but recently i’ve decided to try to get into some of the deeper stuff behind that, into the wonderful world of electronics. Where should I start? What courses or books or youtube series should I consume? What are some...

Posts being auto-removed or auto-hidden

Hey! So I posted today with my main account, @Stamets, to !memes but after an hour it showed no signs of activity. No upvotes, no downvotes, no nothing. So I checked the modlog just in case and there seemed to be no sign that anything was removed or that I was banned. So I made a post to this community on that same account...

a want to buy a tablet to take notes at school

Basically title, but I don’t want an iPad because of my “open source mindset” ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple’s philosophy and I don’t want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I’d like to have a tablet that doesn’t all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don’t know where to start...

how to receive alert when comments removed?

Censorship is absolutely rampant on Lemmy. I don’t post particularly controversial stuff, but I am an active commenter and I’ve noticed that mods will just wipe my comments or those of others on a whim. I think this is a huge issue and one of the biggest downsides about switching from reddit. I very rarely had comments...

Update handling after rebasing Fedora Silverblue

So I am trying out fedora silverblue and recently rebased it to uBlue to get access to hardware decoding for non-free codecs and for some QoL improvements. Before rebasing, I used to get both system updates(update to image that silverblue is based on) and flatpak updates through the gui package manager(gnome-software in this...

Does pirating movies that are only in cinemas have a different result to when they are released on disk/streaming services

Sorry for the swabbie question, but I tried to find a film (Saw X in particular) on quite a few different sites and all torrents/streams/downloads had baked in ads for online casinos and the like. Is this just a feature of piracy, or does something change when the film leaves the cinema? I’m not asking for links, so don’t...
