Google cache does expire so it will forget eventually. The problem is when you go to the original on reddit, we're seeing that some of the comments still have their text intact, but with a [deleted] username now.
This is the expected behavior on Reddit when you delete your account. None of your posts go anywhere. You have to manually, before you delete your account, edit them to remove their contents. Requests for deletion under GDPR may function differently.
Several folks here have reported this noncompliance to their gov't and i expect an epic showdown where reddit gets its behind handed to it, but that's likely some years away.
The important thing is to get people to be aware of this. A lot of folks seem to delete their accounts and then, too late, be caught by surprise that nothing they wrote is deleted - and now cannot be removed.
Some folks do the right thing, but then get surprised when it turns out that redact.dev or shreddt.com or Power Delete Suite failed to delete all of their comments for various reasons.
I’m still am apprentice, and I already make more than I ever did in my first career (20 years as a chef). Journeyman rates are over $40/ hour and once you included insurance and retirement theyre around $80/ hour. Oh and were among the lower paid locals in our state.
I walked off a jobsite because they failed to provide us with safe conditions, had the safety officer on site that day, had the local union officers follow up, contractors apologized fixed the conditions and paid me for my missed time.
If you let them joke about it, they will. If you make them follow it, they will. Safety starts and ends with you brother.

The chances of someone being found are pretty slim,” he said. > >How did the ill-fated journey unfold? > >Shaddock and Bella departed La Paz in Mexico three months ago, but just weeks into the voyage they were hit by a storm, which crippled their vessel. > >The pair got the bare essentials by drinking rainwater and eating raw fish for months. > >They spent their days waiting, and hoping for rescue. > >Salvation came about two months later when a helicopter accompanying a tuna trawler spotted the drifting boat. > >When Shaddock was found, he appeared to be healthy and in good spirits - all things considered. > >“I have been through a very difficult ordeal at sea,” he told 9News. > >"I’m just needing rest and good food because I have been alone at sea a long time. > >“Otherwise I’m in very good health.” > >The 51-year-old is still on his way back to dry land, where he will be met with further medical assistance. > >His companion Bella is also looking safe and well. > >Tipton said it would have been an isolating few months and likened Shaddock’s story to a real-life Cast Away, referring to the 2000 movie tarring Tom Hanks. > >He said having Bella onboard would have helped a “tremendous amount”. > >“I think that may have well made the difference,” Tipton said. > >"You’re living very much from day-to-day and you have to have a very positive mental attitude in order to get through this kind of ordeal and not give up. > >"But also, having a plan, rationing yourself in terms of water and food, is really the secret to long survival voyages. > >“Just imagine how dark and lonely it would feel out there at night time.” > >Tipton added Shaddock will need to slowly wean himself back onto a normal diet. > >“It has to be a slow return to normal and he will probably need to be kept an eye on for several months.”
It's amazing that they have had years of people complaining about mods and it's always been "if you don't like the moderation policy of a community, you can find one that better suits your tastes" but when it impacts them suddenly there is a need for a policy change and democracy.
I very much recommend against that (though I think everyone’s downvotes are a bit much).
If privacy isn’t your thing, consider performance; Firefox’s memory usage is vastly superior to Chrome’s, and its speed improvements are just too great to ignore. If you don’t care about either of those things, how about features: picture-in-picture on Firefox works better than on Chrome, on-device translation is faster than anything Google can dish out, and the developer features are industry-leading. If none of those are a big deal for you, think about platform purpose: Chrome is unilaterally making decisions about their browser that are causing downstream effects for every user (like the recent spyware-as-a-service “Privacy Sandbox,” or the upcoming extension-crippling Manifest v3 updates) because you are not their customer. You are their product. And if none of those things move the needle, you should be aware that the aforementioned forced switch to Manifest v3 this summer will essentially break ad-blocking extensions across the board.
If you’re concerned about migration, you should know that the migration experience is currently a cake walk. It takes two clicks to migrate everything from Chrome to Firefox. In a very real way, considering all the time I used to spend waiting for Chrome’s bloated carcass to finish rendering something, or all the time I used to spend clicking “x” on all the newsletter, cookie, and login popups, it actually would’ve taken me longer not to switch.
If you’re concerned about user experience post-switch, you should know that there are currently an absolutely minuscule number of sites that render differently from Chrome to Firefox, and even fewer that refuse to work on Firefox (almost all of which can be accessed using a user-agent switcher with no problems). Feature parity is almost literally one-to-one; the only major feature I can think of that exists in Chrome but not in Firefox is tab groups, and the developers are working on those. And if you so desire, you can even do a few minor configuration tweaks to make Firefox look exactly like Chrome, too.
Now, if you’re absolutely dead-set on sticking with Chromium for some bizarre reason, you might consider an alternative fork of Chromium; Brave, ungoogled, Opera, and Vivaldi are all Chromium-based browsers which will run all the same plugins you already have without being directly under the control of Google.
Firefox has been my primary browser on my Pixel 2, Pixel 6, and Pixel 7 for nearly five years now. It consistently performs at least as well as Chrome. Yes, it used to have horrible performance, but that hasn’t been true in a very long time.
I could try to time it for you, but loading times for both were practically instantaneous. My timing of either would be skewed by the speed of my thumbs.
Now, sure, there are some sites that load faster on Chrome, but that’s largely due to the source site, not the browser: AMP sites, for instance, are cached on a Google server and served more quickly to Chrome than to Firefox. That’s not Firefox being slow, it’s Firefox playing by the rules.
And that’s good. Technically speaking someone could hoover up every website on the internet, precache every article, and serve it to you from their servers instead of from the actual source servers; but that would be absolutely terrible from the perspective of the open web. That someone could decide they don’t like your site, or the way you represented something, or whatever, and just change your articles or delete them. Suddenly your site runs slower than everyone else’s and users don’t know why, so they stop using your site.
And I’m writing this comment on Chrome on the same device. Performance is equally great, though inputting the 2fa code was a pain on Chrome because it tried to “help” with the password entry.
Spending 5 minutes on Google shows that the number of construction workers is at all time highs.
It’s just that a hot economy requires even more labour.
My 2 cents, the economy could use a rebalancing by raising wages and reducing profits a bit.
If salaries of construction workers get raised from $40K to $50K, then the number of openings will go down and the remaining workers can focus on the more important work while getting a better wage.
PSA: Buy a $30 thin client from eBay. Install Ubuntu (or your distro of choice), then install and set up pi hole, then use premade ad lists to block amp links (and whatever else you want).
Because a pihole doesn’t stop people from sharing AMP links, it only prevents you from viewing them. So it’s probably not a good answer to give when someone recommends that other people not use AMP links.
Don’t get me wrong, a pihole is good to have for anyone who has the competency to set one up. They’re not the answer to stopping people from sharing AMP links, is all.
I deleted all of my comments using PDS. I just did a Google search for my username on Reddit and it had one result. I went to the post (I remember the OP) but my comment doesn't appear on the post. So is this a caching issue?
For anyone who sees this as an (understandably) confusing thing for someone to post, it’s a meta joke on /c/lemmyshitpost at the moment. Just trying to get ahead of any more reports.
