Nothing out of the ordinary on commercial platforms where the user is the product, like Google, Facebook, or reddit.

Here on Lemmy (where most development is done out of charity, and servers are run by donations) it IS the outlier.

Why would it be legal to ignore the law because your product is in alpha or beta? Hell, Gmail was in “beta” for like the first 10 years of its existence.

I agree that “fuck this” might be a bit too strong for some people, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with “uninstalling”, as long as the reasoning behind it is mentioned.

Edit: I see now that you’re talking about hypotheticals, because nobody in this thread is doing that.

If its uncivilised to uninstall an app because it’s bugs are invading your privacy, then I don’t want to be civilised. If anything, I’m doing the author a favour by telling them why I’m using their competitors.

Why is it called “Revoke consent”? Consent was never asked during setup, so how can it be revoked?

Edit: oh great. It doesn’t even save your settings for objecting to “Legitimate interest”. Uninstalled.

It’s ironic, because the companies who claim to have a legitimate interest in tracking my behaviour are the ones I want to block from tracking me most of all.

Where did you have in mind?

BOT! KILL IT!

That’s why they’re talking about the next generation.

With AI you can easily generate 100 different ways to say the same thing. And it’s hard to distinguish a bot that’s parroting someone else from a person who’s repeating something they heard.

Ok.

Both support stronger safety features in chromium and criminals and bullies got equated to kicking puppies. That’s why it’s a shoddy attempt at illustrating their reasoning.

There’s some massive misunderstanding about my comment.

I called it a false equivalency because it’s comparing both the measures (“stronger safety”) and the thing is supposed to prevent (doxing and bullying) to puppy kicking.

That’s just emotional manipulation done badly. We all call it out when politicians use pedophiles to warrant Internet surveillance, and now apply it ourselves? I don’t know about you, but when I see bad reasoning, I’ll call it out. Even if it’s done by “my side”.

Kick a puppy

If you have to resort to false equivalences like these, you’re not really making the anti-WEI crowd look good.

Storage on the vm won’t be too much of an issue, as long as you make sure to use Object Storage (s3) for pict-rs from the start. For Lemmit (just a few users, but hundreds of communities and over 150k posts) I’m doing fine with just 2 GB of memory, 1 vcpu, and 2 GB of disk storage for postgres. The storage bucket is sitting at 36 GB.

You might want to scale up cpu and memory for more users as you grow, but you’d be surprise with how little resources you can get away.

How many password managers have you been trying out this week?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Lemmys tokens have no expiration, right? So they are effectively username and password combined.

I switched to 18.1 this weekend, and the cpu is basically bored now ;)

Which table/columns am I looking at here?

What the Wandermeister over here said.

Object storage generally is much cheaper than vm disk space (I got 1TB for $5/month at vultr). And the sooner you do it, the better - the migration process took 3 hours for me yesterday, transferring just over 102k files (34 GB).
