Californians will be able to delete all personal online data with first-in-US law (www.theguardian.com)

The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information. If data...

Which is why no one mentioned or implied anything even remotely related to intellectual property. Not sure why it's being brought up, but now we can get back on topic: people's data being stolen, and then taking one small step towards rectifying that.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately (arstechnica.com)

John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.

Maybe the solution for CEOs that take the golden parachute is a literal golden parachute.

Candidates? Maybe. But anti-vax horseshit 100% started on the left. Organic-food-buying yoga-mat-havers peddled that crap in liberal hotspots when trump was just a Home Alone meme. Let's not knowingly ingest the baseless idea that having the decency and sense to be non-conservative makes you in line with science, even if it generally increases the chances.

I'm not trying to say that you were saying that, just to be clear. It's just a fact that doesn't get enough air.

I like owning a home because I finally got some equality.

They had a reputation as a good company before the pandemic, and they let it go to the crapper during. Now they're sprinting in the other direction. Bunch of reality-denying dipshits.

Can someone give me, and anybody reading this who wants to know but wouldn't bother to ask, a basic-as-possible idea of what the hell dataview does and why I would care? Or point me to something that does?

I read what you wrote and yes I'm tired but my eyes sort of glazed over. What's the "why it's cool" for people who aren't devs and only know Obsidian basics?

Lab-grown meat. Lab-grown meat is the answer.

I really enjoy the use of the word "learn" here. I can see somebody sitting, stressed, in front of a can of beans, just not knowing what to do

Isn't Montana pretty chill lately? My memory was they passed some pretty sensible stuff in the last few months.

From many dental visits, pared down:

Brush light, floss hard. Some minor bleeding from flossing, weirdly, is actually ok. Just go easy on that spot until it's not sore anymore, then ease into going hard again. These two things are mostly what will make getting poked with all that metal shit not bother you so much.

You only need to floss at night. You aren't putting food in your mouth while you sleep.

Electric toothbrushes are legit improvements, not gimmicks. Get one if you can.

This is good to know. This needs to be the thing that happens when you click the actual picture. We shouldn't need to know this as a medium-advanced protip.

Though I know they're still working their butts off just to keep the thing floating right now. Lots going on for a small team. One thing at a time!

What was that tool that let you delete all your account posts and comments again?

I don't think we should strive to have as big a userbase as reddit.

Many of us have seen it happening in the last 4-5 years. reddit subs, and reddit in general has become a bit s***. Of course there are still good subs, especially the truly niche ones can often have a small helpful crowd. But with 100s of thousands of users, some sub drown in hate and negativity....

Not buying it. The main subreddits got crappy when they got flooded with people, but part of having a million billion users is that some of them go off and make the niche subs that are great. A lot of quality is a function of quantity. If I can dodge mud-slinging titans ala r/movies and r/videos with a single "block magazine" click, but get 40 active niche magazines, 3 of which I care about, in exchange for it, that makes the site better.

With regards to the shortcomings of federation and buy-in friction for new users, that op-ed republished by arstechnica isn't wrong.

I don't know what to do about it. I don't have the bandwidth or knowledge to fix the problem. But I would support those who can lower the friction for new users and assist with the growth of non-billionaire-owned platforms.

Yeah, the fediverse won't take off until some dedicated folks make some tools or apps to make it actually usable. Until then, it's a bunch of programmers typing "it's not that bad" into their TI-83s hooked up wirelessly to their 1990's Linux PC via Raspberry Pi.

The "imaginary network" was a kickass bunch of subreddits of fantasy and sci-fi art. A few of them were low quality, but lots of them had some pretty astonishingly high-quality, imaginative stuff. Castles, starfleets, landscapes, wizards, warriors, cyberpunk night streets, dragons, weapons, you name it. It was an online concept art museum. It was always one of the cooler parts of reddit and it would be killer to have it over on kbin or lemmy or wherever the hell things move to in the fediverse.

This is good to know, I had heard that this was the app to watch, but also that is was only on ios. I'll keep an eye on this!
