We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.
I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

I didn’t find that in the Twitter UI and wondered why OP thought it was an AI. Thanks for sharing.
The tweet: (Is the preview working for you? For me, it’s not).
The game is called geoguessing and those who do this regularly are crazy good at it, taking into account the kind of trees you see, where the sun and shadows are, even the color of the dirt and the pavement.
Tom Scott did something similar and was frightened too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGqEBvlmFAQ&pp=ygUSdG9tIHNjb3R0IGZvdW5kIHVz
The website is quite tight-lipped regarding features. What’s a ‘smart playlist’?
I’m not sure anymore how I got into a state where that was necessary, but do keep a reference around for how to boot Linux or Windows from the Grub command line.
You vastly underestimate the tolerance of an average user who barely knows their way around a web browser and Word.
The Backdoor Company has a backdoor. Who’d’ve thunk?
sudo maintains ‘sudo state’ for 15 minutes. After that you need to enter the password again.
14 days ago I tested Ubuntu. I couldn’t access my Wifi. The network was visible, but it refused to accept the password. (Yes, I quintuple-checked that I entered it right.) When I tried Linux Mint, it worked on the first try.
Moral of the story: Drivers are hit-and-miss on Linux, too.
then your public key is stored in the server
Did you mean private key?
The fines are only proportional for big corporations. Organizations without revenue can still be fined:
Infringements of the following provisions shall, in accordance with paragraph 2, be subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher: (a) the basic principles for processing, […] pursuant to Articles […] 7 […];

In this case, the processing of data hinges upon the data subject’s consent, which is detailed in article 7.
Also, this is not an issue for the developers, but for the admins.
Imagine a car manufacturer building cars without brakes and then saying ‘This isn’t a problem for the engineers, but for the retailers’. Of course the developers can’t be sued for this. But that’s not the point! The point is that this bug or missing feature or whatever you want to call it jeopardizes the admins upon which this whole ecosystem hinges. I can’t believe that that’s in the devs’ best interests.
To be fair, this is a bug that could be the end of lemmy. As soon as one malicious actor sues even a few instance admins, other will get scared and shut down their instances. As the reporter points out, this isn’t just a shiny feature that’s missing. Instance admins lack the ability to follow data protection requirements that their users have a right to. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I agree commenting that post under every issue was a dick move.
maximising profit is not why we grant them copyright
That’s the only reason copyright exists. Because society decided that if you’re the one to put work into developing something, you should be the one reaping the profits, at least for some time.
I found it interesting how the maintainers reacted to these issues.
Would you mind if we set some of your priorities also? You’re asking us to do free labor for you, that you’re unwilling to do yourself. Do not put ultimatums and demands on people making FOSS, or I won’t hesitate to block you from these repos.

It remembers the last input and defaults there.
It never occurred to me that TVs might not do that.
I always wondered why grocery store shelves aren’t capped at some height. This is an obvious accessibility concern for many people.
This is actually funny. Imagine some automobile vendor misbehaving in some way and all other self-driving cars make a beeline for them just to ruin their crash statistics.
I’m fine with the DRM. But why does the window need to open and take several seconds to “connect to the friends network” for a singleplayer game? This doesn’t need to be a blocking process.
Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?
