I might consider watch Fast and Furious again if Fast 11 contained a 40 ton avocado heist. The last one i saw was probably Fast 4

But isn't the whole point to play a burned copy of the game?
This seems like scalping concert tickets to a concert that allows you to copy tickets in the printer.

they will probably just rollback all your comments, like they did already for a bunch of people. though at least that could cause them to have a problem with GDPR and similar data protection acts.

Though I think if you want to salt the earth you could instead bloat up every comment to max comment length, preferably with a funny story about data protection created in chatgpt. This might increase the server space needed for each comment. Maybe even add some disclaimers and stuff that this comment is your intellectual property and editing it without your knowledge and approval makes the site liable to a fine. This probably doesn't stick up in court, but whatever, maybe some employee will still think twice before changing back your comments.

That data is still from 2009 though, but sadly there doesn't seem to be a newer statistic. Since that time many changes were made to push for the removal of old lead piping in the EU.

Anyway the threshold for lead in drinking water in the EU is 10ug/L since 2013.
Since 2020 a regulation has been in effect with the goal to have less than 5 ug/L drinking water at the consumer until 2036 everywhere in the EU.

The US has a threshold of 15 ug/L.

though how many of these are duplicate accounts?

I myself have one kbin account and one lemmy.world account because kbin was not stable enough the first day and i did hear great things about the lemmy.world stability. I do use both though and also considering opening a feddit account

isn't it the best to use another instance than beehive, lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works in that case? you will still have access to all other communities. Been thinking of creating another account on feddit, since it is probably too local to get on beehives shitlist and other instances might be reluctant to just block out a whole country community

Have been asking this myself lately.
People always seem to get defensive about this topic, but if an instance gets challenged on a GDPR investigation it could have a huge fine associated to it.
It is good to have this sorted out, so instance owners don't enter a life changing financial risk.

Currently we probably are too small and fly under the radar, but this could become a big problem as the fediverse scales.

Issues I wonder about:

  1. How safe is the Fediverse? Is there a way for a federated instance to misuse the user data? Or can such activity be detected and cause a defedaration.
  2. How easily can all user data be deleted if a request comes in to remove all personal data? Wouldn't that request have to be extended to all instances your instance is currently federated with?
  3. Instances probably wouldn't be able to handle a bad actor (for example Meta, or spez) that decides to start a mass request attack.
  4. Corporations have lawyers that deal with this stuff, I don't feel like most instance owners have the same kind of protection here.

Having a news article finally promote a fediverse instance is a win in my book.

Only issue is that lemmy and kbin should have still been mentioned as a whole, especially since registering to beehaw seems to take some time.

Another non federated alternative that seems to have some traction with reddit refugees is squabbles. Sad that it didn't get mentioned since it also reached ~17k users. This could end up a good alternative for people that find the fediverse too complicated. Though i myself prefer kbin so far.

Red wine and coke is sth i have seen croatians and Portuguese drink

Both kbin and lemmy don't have 2FA yet. What is protecting me from getting my account hacked? Is 2FA on the roadmap?

While owning the games is great, the site could be improved if they crosscheck and mention all of those games if they are in the XBox gamepass available on PC.

Most of the time you will be able to finish those games in a month and have a cheaper deal that way.

Out of this list, the following games are on the gamepass:

  • Forza Horizon 5
  • A Plague Tale: Requiem
  • Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition
  • Grounded
  • The Outer Worlds $19.79 on Steam
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
  • Pillars of Eternity - Hero Edition
  • Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
  • Deep Rock Galactic (No Crossplay though)
  • House Flipper
  • Road 96
  • Fallout New Vegas Ultimate
  • Injustice 2 Standard Edition
  • Frostpunk
  • Generation Zero
  • Moonlighter $2.99 on Steam
  • No Man's Sky $29.99 on GOG
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition
  • Middle-earth: Shadow of War™ Definitive Edition
  • Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition

Additional similar Titles:
Crusader Kings III
Mortal Kombat 11

Some of the EA Play and Ubisoft connect games might also be available to play, they do have a partnership with Gamepass. These are just harder to look up in the client

So every kbin user could have 4 Lemmy accounts ;)

Also IANAL:
To my knowledge, it is a bit of a complicated topic. But in general the definition of personal information in the GDPR is by design kept really broad.
https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/key-concepts/personal-data/
https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rules-business-and-organisations/dealing-citizens/do-we-always-have-delete-personal-data-if-person-asks\_en

I think the moment your account is still active, all your comments can be identified as personal data by your username and falls under GDPR for sure. If your account is deleted/banned it is anonymized so it could only fall under GDPR if the comment contains identifyable information. But anonymization must be irreversible, so I think reddit is not allowed to have any data linking your comments to each other after you deleted your account.

Now what if you edit your comments/delete them and delete your account afterwards (which schould anonymize it).
If they restore your former contents, doesn't that mean that they still have an identifier for your data linking the deleted GDPR protected data?
I don't think EU looks too kindly on stuff like that, they can be pretty strict for consumer data protection and using data like this seems pretty against the original intention of the GDPR.
The Reddit TOS can also say all kind of stuff, but it won't stick if it breaks a higher law instance.

Spez is a person with no foresight and a bad CEO, i think reddit is about to fuck around and find out what happens if you ignore the GDPR.
I don't think there has been a case like this before, where a social media so blatantly misuses consumer data. This might become a pretty big thing and hopefully clarify the rights of the users in the future.

Honestly, the activity on reddit still seems lower than before the Blackout if you look here, especially for a weekend

Outer Wilds for sure. This game is special, but it's difficult to replay with prior knowledge.

Portal 2 is another game i would like to experience for the first time again

Not just the UI.

i think it is really nice that you can use a time filter of 3h, 6h,12h 1d in kbin.
This makes finding new content so much easier without having the raw state of new

it's still in the top 10 daily players games on steam and still higher than CoD and BG3.

Ofc the player numbers is going down, but i think it is an easy casual game to come back to when playing with friends.

I bet the next steam next fest will have tons of copycat demos for this type of game too.

Could be interesting if this contains some data showing how reddit stores data and shines more info on reddit restoring deleted comments, since that could become a GDPR issue.

what i really hope this data will not contain:
User Login credentials. Though if it did, the hackers would probably already have taken control of some admin accounts.

I mean the shortened down article does not give that info. The ars technica article does give a detailed description though. The CDC Report only give little info on what vampire facials are. Since the shortened article description from OP does already link to the CDC report, the only point to still read the ars technica article is to find out how exactly vampire facials are done

In short:
since 2013 EU has 10 ug/L limit. since 2020 a goal was set for 5 ug/L to be achieved until 2036.

EPA current limit is 15 ug/L. Yes, they have set a 0 goal, but with apparently no timeline, so until than there will still be many areas with 15 ug/L. Bidens proposal would probably set this 0 goal into a 10 year timeframe, making it much better than the EU goal.

did your old comments and posts also get deleted?

Every once in a while in cities, there’s a protest. And I think that’s what we’re seeing exactly right now. We, even in disagreement, we appreciate that users can care enough to protest on Reddit, can protest on Reddit, and then our platform is really resilient enough to survive these things.

Oh yeah and if the authorities just ignore the protests out of greed than your city experiences braindrain. But like the politicians he doesn't care about future problems as long as he can secure his bag of greed

too bad we can't add this when editing old comments. Though i wonder if a comment has a bigger size if we use the whole 10000 characters

England and Wales are no more EU though, they don't have to follow EU regulations.

But yeah many EU countries still have some areas with lead pipes, even Germany, France and so on. It seems to be hard to track

Not really parkour like dying light is, but in outlast trials you will kinda try to outrun lots of different killers and monsters. Can probably be compared a bit with dead by daylight

I don't plan on going back since I just can't condone how Reddit management handled the whole issue, but there is one thing I wonder why it is not a possible solution for 3rd party apps:

Wouldn't it be possible to ask the userbase to just get the API key themselves?
If every user of a 3rd party app has their own API key, they won't have to pay anything won't they, since it will be hard to reach the free tier limit.
And even if a user does reach the limit he can get a couple thousands API calls for just a small number of cents.

Reddit will be still getting the same number of API calls, but it won't be the responsibility of the 3rdparty dev but on each user if the limit is reached

I also have a steamdeck, but that is a hard ask.

Without Windows you will have to stream it probably:

  • if you have a normal PC but you just prefer using the steamdeck anywhere at home, you could stream your PC with Sunlight&Moonlight (kinda like steamlink but people say it works better)
  • GeforceNow might also work
  • If you own an Xbox you can also stream from there instead of using xcloud. This should also be no issue for quick resume.

Other Options requiring Windows:

  • I believe you can install Windows to a microSD so you can just use the SD card if you want to boot to windows instead.
  • Other option would be to get an Asus ROG Ally

only tried with premixed falafels so far, but i usually just put them for like 20 Minutes at 180°C in the oven. just gotta flip them after ~10 Min.

I don't think you can really mess them up too much, it's probably also fine if you use lower heat or keep them shorter/longer in there. you can also just taste them from time to time to see if they are good.

You can add oil if you want, i bake them without though

i think the average user just scrolls it on the loo

isn't the point of breaking the door window under water to let water in, so you can open the car door once the pressure difference is equilibrated?

This is what it looks like

A lot of the games you tried are on gamepass, including hitman world of assassination.
There are some others aswell, like Aragami 2, sniper elite and plague tale.Might be worth just trying gamepass for 10€ for a month or to see if you can buy a trial key for cheap somewhere, to test the games.

Another game I can recommend but it is a bit different genre is Outlast:Trials. It is a stealth game but if you fail you have to escape and hide. Though this game is pretty explicit with nudity, violence and gore

I had issues replying from my lemmy.world account to kbin comments the other day (endless spinning). Not sure if it was an issue with kbin or lemmy.world. but lemmy.world is also still on 1.7.4

As reddit is turning 18 the next few weeks, I kinda see Spez as an abusive Stepfather, who sells his children into a prostitution ring(IPO).

He doesn't care about the site, once the IPO is over he will just take his moneybags and leave

I did have trouble today replying between kbin and lemmy.world and vice versa. Not sure if it also applies to other instances

The battery life is incredible for me (~72h max) and don't think I ever experienced any lag.

I think it is probably only a small number of people that have the battery issues and posted online since the ones with working phones won't post about that. Could be a software issue (Network reconnecting? Battery not properly calibrated?). Anyway this should be fixable by RMA on the off chance that it does happen to you.

I am really happy with my Asus Zenphone 9. The best feature is the long battery life. If i wanted i could use the phone for ~72h, though I usually charge it to 80% and charge the phone every 2 days instead.

The Battery Life was my main buying point, the aux and smaller size were important though too.
It also has an actual gimble for camera stabilisation in the lense instead of the typical stabilization through a sensor, though i guess it is more of a gimmick. I myself don't take that many action shots where this could be useful, so I can't really give any info if it is better than the usual way of stabilization.
Since it is an Asus phone I think it also is pretty powerful and power efficient for mobile gaming if that interests you (I don't care about that).

End of this Month they will also reveal the Zenphone 10, so maybe this might also be a possible phone to check out. I bought mine also directly release last year since I was looking for a new phone around that time. It was bundled with a chromebook that I was able to resell so it was a nice deal in comparison to other comparable phones.

So are you only missing the 1h? On Kbin you can do 3h/6h/12h/24h.

On a lemmy instance i would understand the comment since there you can only filter it per day currently (but maybe this was changed in the new update rolling out currently?)
