Yeah as someone who had to deal with GDPR in a professional capacity, it’s probably better to just assume that content written by users contains PII since you really have no way of telling whether it does or doesn’t.
Naturally you can just ignore that and leave the content as-is, but then you run the risk of some data protection authority ruining your day.
I do get where you’re coming from even though I don’t agree. As you said, we’re looking at this post in isolation; I don’t think a random rant about a huge platform update that hasn’t gone terrifically well is indicative of Beehaw admins not being constructive about it in general. It’s still a < v1.0 service after all and there are some huge problems with eg. federation and whatnot that are causing admins and users of all instances nontrivial amounts of hassle.
It’s a bumpy ride and there’s going to be annoyances aplenty, but I do trust that in the end everyone is handling things OK even though annoyances sometimes flare up
I mean you’re not wrong about it not being all that constructive, but I really don’t see much harm in admins venting frustration. They’re regular humans too and it’s understandable they get frustrated with things, it’s probably a bit of a turbulent time for them.
But hey, things are much snappier at least, which is definitely a plus. Still getting some “worker bee” pages but not nearly as often as on 0.17.4. All in all a very good update, even though the font sizing may be a bit small for some peoples’ tastes
Didn’t mean to come off as hostile. I just don’t think it’s quite that bad of a sign to see admins criticizing Lemmy on Lemmy instead of only “on official channels”, like admins aren’t allowed to criticize the platform where us plebs can see it
Oh no, criticism! How will Lemmy ever survive!
Wait until you find out that at least one of the main authors is a literal tankie
Aw, thank you ❤️
Oh that sounds nice. How long of a hike are you going for?
Turns out I might have either lupus (“it’s never lupus”, until it is) and/or Sjögren’s syndrome. Got a bunch of incredibly expensive blood tests done today (yay universal healthcare. Oh wait the conservatives effectively destroyed it so I have to use private healthcare and I’m uninsurable due to pre-existing conditions) and now I’m just waiting and experiencing nontrivial amounts of dread. Life was already barely worth living what with my existing health issues that already include autoimmune conditions, so this is just icing on the cake
Ah, as a fan of martinis this is a hill I could also die on
The 90’s version of Island of Doctor Moreau is absolutely fucking terrible, and absolutely fucking fantastic. The story behind its production is also really wild and there’s a documentary about it called Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Dr. Moreau that I can recommend.
Kurt Russell’s Soldier is also one of my favorite bad movies
But it’s cold snake oil!
You’re very much in the minority, then; it’s absolutely terrible from a usability perspective.
Good that websockets are going. Lemmy sucks up battery like nobody’s business and for ultimately a negative payout
The ability to boil eggs by looking at them. Always the same consistency which is slightly too hard for your own tastes.
I’m sure that’ll go well
Yeah the amount of light you get around NY / Montreal feels pretty ideal. I love long summer nights but this is just ridiculous. My poor brain needs some darkness too
Hasn’t gotten easier for me at least 😅 The only time I’m up at 3am is summer.
Both summers and winters here remind me of the fact that I’m still an animal that has some deeply wired in reactions to sunlight.
Yup, that’s the one! Pyramiden is the mining settlement
To expand on this, the problem with huge releases is that bugs tend to pile up along with the new features, simply because more stuff has been changed. You’re much more likely to experience a painful release if you pile in months of changes, and this is doubly true for a distributed system with no rigorous testing of the system itself instead of just units
