TWeaK,

Screw community names, I want instance agnostic URLs for posts and comments.

Right now lemmy.ml/comment/123456 and lemmy.ml/comment/123456 are two different comments, and there is no simple way to find one comment on another instance (so you can interact with it from your logged in account). What we should have is lemmy.ml/comment/123456@lemmy.world to point to a comment made on another instance, then you can just change the instance name after the @ to find the comment (or post) on any other instance.

TWeaK,

How about letting redditors vote that CEOs shouldn't get a golden parachute?

How about shareholders sacking a paedophile CEO for gross misconduct with no golden parachute?

One can only dream.

TWeaK,

Hijacking the top comment to say: PowerDeleteSuite doesn't get everything. It can only see what's in your reddit profile under New, Top, Hot & Controversial - there will be numerous posts that are too old with only 1 or a few karma that aren't displayed in these lists. In particular, if you go through your top posts of all time, you might find some replies to these posts that you made that the script did not see.

The GDPR archive gives a full list of all the comments. What we need is a FOSS script that can use these csv files to get everything. Apparently Shreddit can take the csv files, however you have to pay $15 to use this feature.

TWeaK,

You should bear in mind, PowerDeleteSuite doesn't get everything. It can only see what's in your reddit profile under New, Top, Hot & Controversial - there will be numerous posts that are too old with only 1 or a few karma that aren't displayed in these lists. In particular, if you go through your top posts of all time, you might find some replies to these posts that you made that the script did not see.

TWeaK,

GDPR gives you the right to correct information if it's wrong. Given that the information is typically an opinion of the user, that should give the user the right to remove the information.

TWeaK,

You're not wrong. lemmy.ml only points to one machine at one IP address.

Granted, the fediverse means that posts here are copied elsewhere, but it's only the initial posts, not the user accounts or edits.

TWeaK,

I did read it, however the article never really called him out on it.

I get that journalists shouldn't express opinions, and this article does manage that at least. However they should at least clearly display contradictions and hypocrisy, such that no reader can walk away without recognising it. This article doesn't quite meet that bar - someone hooked on this paedophile's lies could walk away after reading all his quotes and still think he's fair minded.

TWeaK,

I don't think Occam's razor would reach that conclusion when you look at all the different services that are in decline. There's no one person tying them all together. At least, no one that is publicly known.

Peter Thiel comes close for Twitter - he financed Trump, along with a few sinister businesses, and he tried (and failed) to make a Twitter competitor. Thus it makes sense that he'd tap in his old business partner Elon Musk to remove Twitter from the equation (make no mistake, Twitter isn't dying because of Musk's mismanagement, it's dying because of a leveraged buyout saddling it with $13bn of debt). However that doesn't really cover any other service, such as reddit, Discord, or whatever else.

Regardless, we, the people, are being dispersed and our ability to organise suppressed.

TWeaK,

Maybe, however there's every chance he could be out before then. At which point the golden parachute will activate. Meanwhile, reddit will throw all the shade on him yet change nothing in the course of action.

However he very well could maintain shares in the company after leaving, which of course means he would benefit from the IPO.

TWeaK,

I think the real reason the discussions on reddit have been in decline is because

  • reddit promotes controversy and ragebait, as this has been proven to "increase user engagement".
  • more recently reddit has been wielding the ban hammer hard and perma banning people over things they would previously let slide.
TWeaK,

I can only imagine you wheeled out your wheeley chair to stand on it and take this picture.

TWeaK,

Usually tickling his feet makes him release.

TWeaK,

I think they were using the open sign ups to join and then harass people, a lot of which were in other instances, in particular beehaw.org. Now beehaw has defederated from sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world.

TWeaK,

Make an account in another instance, there are lots of them.

TWeaK,

Wait did sh.itjust.works do anything? I thought the story was that beehaw.org cut them and lemmy.world off, but only for people browsing on beehaw.

TWeaK,

Not all instances do that. Many instances accept you right away.

At the bottom of any webpage (rather than the app) there is an Instances link that lists pretty much all of them. Click a few that catch your eye.

TWeaK,

Yeah that's what I thought. The comment I replied to seemed to suggest that sh.itjust.works had cut themselves off from others, but no.

I guess the "we're only 4 people" was actually referring to beehaw's mod team, or something.

TWeaK,

undefined> I want to be where all the smart, fun people are

Hence why you're on lemmy.ml! :)

TWeaK,

I think lots of instances, basically any of the ones that haven't been defederated. You could also apply directly to beehaw.

lemmy.ml is still in with them, that's probably the biggest. Kbin also works I think. Basically just pick one out of the list of instances at the bottom of any webpage.

TWeaK,

Guacamelee??

Super Sopapillas ftw!!

TWeaK,

Canada here, not very common until you get close to Canada day or Armistice day.

It's very common if you're travelling Europe and are American.

TWeaK,

You won't see edits though.

Edit: and others won't see yours. This is invisible unless you're on lemmy.ml

TWeaK,

The longer you've had a license, the cheaper your insurance is.

TWeaK,

/ban!

EU suggests breaking up Google’s ad business in preliminary antitrust ruling (www.theverge.com)

The European Commission has made a formal antitrust complaint against Google and its ad business. In a preliminary opinion, the regulator says Google has abused its dominant position in the digital advertising market. It says that forcing Google to sell off parts of its business may be the only remedy, if the company is found...

TWeaK,

Even delivering on it might not be enough, if you just end up with separate businesses all owned by Alphabet Co.
