Whats wrong babe?? You haven’t touched your Cornhole dogs!

Freelancer was as good as it was because Microsoft bought the studio, and Roberts was out, they then spent a while cutting it down in scope and trying to fix it.

It’s a miracle.

Good article on it.

The wrong reddit co-founder died.

Yep. For me it’s got me using Lemmy more… I hope that more communities from reddit start to move over.

In the eyes of the GDPR it doesn’t matter, if a user used their right to be forgotten, anything that could be PII or anything they generated has to be either deleted or at least anonymized.

Now since we’re talking about reddit posts here, there’s a non-zero chance that at last one if not more of the users posted something about themselves that can be used to identify them in a post. So detaching the user from the post doesn’t satisfy the laws.

So with that out of the way, we can conclude that the posts themselves most likely contain some PII.

You’d have to delete/scrub the posts, the logs, the caches, including on any CDNs.

Obviously either they aren’t scrubbing everything, which I would agree that could happen… I doubt it because of reddits size. I could understand and excuse some tiny company with a few engineers, or a new company… but not a decade plus old company worth billions.

So i think it’s mighty forgiving to say that they did it by accident. I also think it’s not ok to say that reddit did it on purpose either.

I’ve got a feeling that they half did the GDPR tasks… And thought “ehh nobody will notice” or “will make a new improvement epic for this” and never did.

I agree it reads like a ad for Airbnb.

So, I get the feeling, or at least I hope that once Airbnb shares its data, its going to prove what we kind of already know, that Airbnb is out of control.

Lets take one of those cities in the article, Amsterdam.

I live in Europe, and what i noticed each time I visited;

• 12 years ago during summer, Airbnb existed, but wasn’t as popular. Amsterdam during peak season was crowded downtown, but still walkable. The Airbnb’s listed were peoples houses/apartments
• 8 years ago during summer, Hotels were fully booked, and Airbnb is more popular but there was space, the local shops downtown are still the same, but streets are getting more crowded. The Airbnb’s listed were a mix of peoples houses/apartments, and also some that looked purpose made as pseudo-hotels.
• 4 years ago during winter, The hotels are fully booked, and the airbnb’s were packed too. The streets were impossible to walk down, some of the local shops seemed to have changed to serving very tourist focused meals. The Airbnb listings look mostly like pseudo-hotels now.

The issue isn’t hotels, it’s Airbnb’s, it’s also not the weed or sex availability, it’s the fact that theres SO many Airbnb’s. If there was regulation around how many there were, or how often/long someone could list on Airbnb that would be great. If there was a cap on how many places were available to tourists, you could have more control on how many tourists.

I know Amsterdam tried to limit Airbnb, but eventually lost due to the rich people complaining and having the law overturned.

My point with this whole long post, is It’s getting worse.

Also, one more thing, you said “gentrify city centers”, and yes in general I agree, but I think the larger issue isn’t gentrification, but more that theres a loss of local culture or local things for tourist focused stores/things/etc … you can have gentrification but also keep the local spirit. It’s harder for sure.

You’re correct, but the two groups that are anti nuclear are Boomers and The Greens parties.

Boomers are easy, they grew up with a few nuclear incidents, including reactor issues as well as the USSR stuff.

The Greens is paradoxal, youd think they were pronuclear, at least in the interrum. But they are anti nuclear because of a variety of reasons. So you see situations like in Germany recently where the Greens forced the government to get rid of nuclear reactors, and in their place, comes more Gas reactors… Greens want 100% renewable, but don’t seem to understand that they should be fighting for 0% fossil first … then when that’s obtained go for 100% renewables.

Because every time you remove a nuclear reactor, the only firm power replacement is a fossil fuel reactor.

I say this as a lifelong Greens voter, my political party have a small, and vocal group of idiots.

(In case you’re wondering, yes the anti nuclear Greens are usually boomers)

How about ratifying Sweden into NATO, then we will talk about buying your currency.
