I’m a fan of the very light, widget-only AF Weather. All it does is a chart showing temp & precipitation for the next 24hrs. I like it more than “hourly” forecasts in other apps, but it is pretty niche.

This one, I presume?

Off topic, sorry, but I’m curious: Did a bоt copy your comment? Or is this some sort of Federation-related-weirdness?

This gif has always bothered me somehow. I think the transition is too ‘good’ and it makes it feel uncanny… Something like that. I’m sure the quality doesn’t help.

Anyway, what’s happening in 3 days?

Is Toolbox related to RES?

I know RES is mostly u/honestbleeps, I don’t actually know who all is behind Toolbox.

I assumed OP would be willing to say it it was “just” that. This being the Internet and all, people admit to way weirder stuff all the time.

When I was a Boy Scout, we often had kids who would refuse to go. It was a whole thing that we had to check on. (Along with asking everyone how yellow their pee was.)

I remember one guy was in tears on the hike out, and it turned out that he had faked out the scoutmaster by taking a walk with the TP and shovel, but not actually gone. Poor kid was barely able to walk, but kept insisting he couldn’t void either.

I only learned later how serious it can get if prolonged.

My best Reddit experiences were where Reddit facilitated meeting people “IRL”. I found my first D&D group on Reddit, made 3 great penpal friends, scored a couple dates, …, and one romantic relationship.

I really don’t know my worst… A couple times I let people get under my skin, but I eventually got good at blocking people.

Your meaning would’ve been clear in almost any other context, but in this case I could just imagine someone saying “it’s not a serious justification, just chillax bro, we just like it”. Or something equally asinine.

Does that make it better or worse to keep using it?

Neat history, I guess? Still seems to be an abhorrent label to self identity with.

Statistically, I’d assume that the numbers 0 through ~10 appear more often in the scripts.

47 was a running gag, like what Psych had with pineapplea. (Other fruit like apples may appear more often, but just incidentally… If it was intentional they would go with pineapple.)

I like that 47 is 42 adjusted for inflation.

Yeah it would probably be illegal to use the data for anything in the event of a GDPR removal.

They do technically still have it in their backups, most likely. It should be covered in Reddit’s ToS.

According to France’s GDPR supervisory authority, CNIL, organisations don’t have to delete backups when complying with the right to erasure.

Nonetheless, they must clearly explain to the data subject that backups will be kept for a specified length of time (outlined in your retention policy).

If you decide to go down this route, you should bear in mind that other supervisory authorities might be stricter and that you must be able to demonstrate that it’s impractical to delete backup data.

Yes, it’s obviously technically possible to recover from a backup whether or not you edit. If anything, alienth was probably sharing that they can see deleted comments with no extra work required at all.

My point was that “editing before deleting” is done by these shredding tools because of the comment I quoted. It does nothing to prevent third parties from keeping their own copy, and is at worst an inconvenience to Reddit, Inc.

Therefore I’m not sure there’s any real value to it for this kind of use.

Technically it’s the “edit” they ban for, not the “delete”.

The Reddit history deletion tools like to edit every comment before deleting them.

This was (is?) a privacy “best practice” based on the understanding that Reddit, Inc. can recover the text of deleted comments, but not the edit history. Just what the comment said at the time of deletion.

Quoting reddit Admin u/alienth:

We will still have access to a deleted comment. So, yes, if you’d like to ensure that something is completely removed, editing would accomplish that.

Edit: to clarify, the delete button does delete the content from public view on the site. The differentiator with the edit button is that we simply don’t store old edits. People can choose to take advantage of this by editing away the text.

In the case of deleting your comments to protest Reddit’s decision, I’m not sure editing is really helpful. It’s technically possible but very unlikely IMO that they would do something like a mass undelete just to keep your content on their site.
