  • This is hilarious considering one of the main reasons IBM is clamping down on RHEL is because they are literally taking RHEL, changed the stickers to “Oracle” and calls it a day to sell their own propietary shit. Of course they are against RedHat closing down RHEL, they need it to compile Oracle Linux.

    I don’t like what RedHat is doing (or IBM, however you want to see it) but cheering for Oracle on this particular issue is just wrong




  • Yeah this Threads issue is getting into the tin foil delusional territory now. Just as you said. They literally say “well use your Instagram acccount” of you bother to read their disclaimers they literally tell you that they are literally using your Instagram account. It’s “Threads by Instagram”. When you first log in it ll import all your Instagram contacts and you cna “follow” them. And if they don’t have it yet it’ll say “you’ll follow as soon as they join threads” there is no “Shadow Threads account, because they are using the Instagram account.”.

    You can definitely be against threads and Meta. I Personally am not super thrilled about it. But there is way more than enough to hate a out meta and threads without making stuff up.





  • So not a lawyer, but I worked as IT/IS in a GDPR heavy industry in Spain. The way it was explained to me, is that we need to have all processes to delete everything of the user. There is no “do all this work and firgure shit out” If they make a request to be forgotten, we have 30 days to erase them from every system we have save some really specific exceptions. There is not “hoops” because GDPR is extremely “biased” towards the users (i don’t mean bias in a negative way). There is no reasonable way to delete all your comments in 10 plus years of posting. So you can fill out yoru form to delete your account. Then m,ake a GDPR request. and then have some random comments saved (URLs)) so you can check 1-2 months down the line. If you see the comments then you take next steps







  • Not only lemmy is not as big as reddit back in the migration days. But reddit is also not as small as digg in the migration days.

    Were assuming that these migrations follow a set pattern but in reality each iteration has been slower and harder to materialize.

    Take also into account that the UX is very different as well and not very casual friendly. Take also into account that in a span of a few hours a gigantic part of the community lost access to some of the biggest communities out of the blue because beehaw defederated world (it’s their right and choice but the UX impact still exists) . So some people might even be like “Yeah fuck this, I’ll just go back to my tried and true subreddit interface” others will be like "Why do I bother posting content in X community if I might lose access to it later on if someone decides to defederate? "

    Lemmy is pretty awesome and I’m liking it here. But to think we’re the “silent minority” of reddit is just not true. Vast majority a of casual users are like " why do you use a 3rd party app of there’s a reddit app and it’s OK…? "
