If a lemmy.ml user types ‘bitch’ in a comment it will actually get replaced with ‘removed’. They just won’t notice it until they check their own comments. That might be the reason why you see ‘removed’ even though your instance doesn’t have an active slur filter.
The Pirate Bay also doesn’t host content, just links to torrents. Why has it been taken down then several times already?
When you directly link pirated content it becomes a liability. Doesn’t matter if the actual content is on your own server or hosted with a third party.
I personally like to keep it on. Most of my messaging is with family and friends and it’s good to know if someone read or hasn’t read my message.
Especially if things are time critical. Picking someone up? Asking if they need anything from the supermarket? If I see that they read the message I know that they are going to reply in a moment. If they didn’t even read the message I won’t have to wait around / can guess that they are currently in the car or wherever.
Sometimes you also have a spotty connection, so the received + read receipt can tell you if they actually got your message.
In general if someone sends me a message and I read it… I’m going to fucking reply to it (if I’m not super busy, and even then I might send a quick message back). I seriously don’t get people who just leave things on read and then forget about it.
But the NAS is in your house… which basically means if it gets flooded/burns down all your data is gone too.
I already have my data on my PC, a second backup inside the same house isn’t worth that much. But instead of relying on a cloud service I just rent a virtual server (for various things) and use Seafile to keep my data in sync.
PC breaks? House burns down? My data is on my own server in a datacenter. My server gets cancelled? My data is on my PCs.
So even with your NAS you are 100% reliant on a cloud backup still, so why did you get the NAS when you already have a copy of your data on your devices?
On the other hand you can lose your email address at any time if you don’t own the domain. So if Google decides they don’t like something you wrote your @gmail.com address could be gone tomorrow. And with it all your accounts you set up (as you need email usually to login or do changes).
The whole e-mail ecosystem sucks :-/
My self-hosted mail server works fine for now, but that could change at any moment.
Having 4 active accounts is anything but leaving the platform. Hell, I thought they had a single account they are giving up (like most companies).
What bullshit.
That’s really weird. But I can explain one value there:
You set it to 650 GB (1000 bytes), fdisk might show you GiB (1024 bytes) though. Which would be 634.8 GiB.
It’s the same as you buying a 1 TB disk and you only get a 977 GB partition out of it.
No clue about your other apps though, sorry.
You can believe what you want, but I literally did this a month ago. Editing my comments, then submitting a GDPR request and getting a large package of my data. Showing every up and downvote for example (which was over a million entries, ouch) and every comment and post I ever made in the last 11 years.
Deleting your comment does not delete the database entry. It’s up to discussion if that conforms to GDPR, because theoretically you could have personal data in your comment… but for now they don’t delete them. So obviously your GDPR request will contain deleted comments, as they are still right where you left them (and you agreed to the terms and conditions of Reddit which technically make any content you post on their platform their content legal wise).
If you edited your comment and then deleted it and the GDPR request showed the original comment… then that’s a different matter. As far as I tried out they don’t keep the comment from before the edit around. Though if you do it too fast, instant edit and delete maybe something gets messed up and the edit doesn’t stick. But this hasn’t happened to me yet (except I edit more than one comment in 3 seconds, then it gets rate limited).
Reddit admitted they only keep the last version of your comments around, so if you edit them with random crap it’s as close to deletion as you can get.
That’s not true. I edited (nearly) all my comments. Then did a GDPR request. All the comments I touched were overwritten in there.
I didn’t catch all of them though, it’s damn tough to get every single one. If you just go through your profile page by page they don’t show all. If you select “Top” comments you find more. If you select “Controversial” you find even more and so on. So I only managed to overwrite maybe 95% or something, but it’s good enough.
Oh and they also have caching and spam protection. So you have to slowly overwrite comments, about one comment every 3 seconds or you get rate limited. And directly after overwriting the comment it might still show up in the old version till their caching servers catch up. So maybe you thought you overwrote your comments, but in reality the requests failed in the background because you went too fast.
It’s a language model, it can’t even do math reliably. Yes, it produces code that works sometimes, but it also hallucinates functions that don’t exist or can introduce bugs you won’t notice at first glance.
And writing a script is different than extending an existing code base. How often do you really start a greenfield project?
I wouldn’t even know how to input a code base into ChatGPT to extend, do you just throw in hundreds of files with a 100k+ lines of code?
Yep! It only gets censored in two cases:
You are on an instance that censors words like this (e.g. lemmy.ml)
The user who wrote the comment is on an instance that censors this word (which actually replaces it in the comment), everyone sees it censored then
