They only mentioned opioids, so there are a ton of other options which can add special effects to your daily life ;)

Never meant to defend oracle. I dislike them even more than IBM.

Here is the source blog post from oracle: https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/keep-linux-open-and-free-2023-07-10/

RedHat really fucked up with this move. I know RedHat employees and everyone from RedHat I met so far was proud they work there and how much open source meant to the company. I guess there will be more and more redhatters looking for new opportunities in the coming months.

Then message the server admins or you create a PR on the lemmy github page with the missing information. The missing legal footnotes is an issue you have to take up with them or the upstream lemmy repo on github.

I’m also no expert, just trying to learn more about the topic as it’s kind of interesting to see how other people are interpreting it.

Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.

Wouldn’t the auth cookie fall into the strictly necessary category?

https://lemmy.world/legal

There is only one cookie present when I inspect the Cookies with my browsers dev tools. Which seems to be the auth token for my account.

I agree, there is definitely work to be done regarding compliance.

But this won’t be shared or processed outside of the instance as far as I can tell.

At least use the whole sentence when quoting to avoid confusion.

Looking through the activityStreams definition it seems only Usernames are shared (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#actors), which is already personal Data according to another comment (https://lemmy.world/comment/929906)

Disclaimer: I have no law degree and everything in this post is speculative.

After reading up on GDPR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) it deals with the transfer of personal data to entities outside the EU or EEA for processing. The definition of personal data would be the main point to see if/how GDPR is applicable to lemmy instances. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_data)

Your IP address and EMail address could be classified as personal data from my point of view. But this won’t be shared or processed outside of the instance as far as I can tell. If your username and associated posts are classified as personal data I can’t say, but there seems no connection of these to your IP or Mail outside the instance. According to this TechDispatch (https://edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our-work/publications/techdispatch/2022-07-26-techdispatch-12022-federated-social-media-platforms_en) the instances still must adhere to GPDR, but as there is not much or no processing of personal data taking place this should pose no issue.

All of this is based on a bit of research, so please enlighten me if I made any mistakes.

I didn’t mean to pretend that this will be any different. My hope is, that there will be some people who will see that there is an alternative to big tech and maybe drop Threads in favour of a real fediverse instance.

Yeah there is more content on Reddit or FB/IG, but that doesn’t mean, that the content there is useful to users in the fediverse.

The reactions you are seeing are based off of Metas history. We will see how it works out.

The title of the article is pure clickbait…

The article itself is mostly padding for a non issue.

Unfortunately the attention of the masses is neatly divided between social media, news about impending economical doom and working for just enough money to survive. To me it seems that most people are already fighting for their survival in their own microcosm.

Another thing that came to mind is, that essential industries will also have to adapt. Medicine manufacturing for the world takes place mainly in India, and they are already in a crisis due to other problems.

Chip manufacturing will also become problematic in many regions, either due to weather changes or due to water shortages.

Your last comment just didn’t add anything to the discussion besides attacking. I can understand where you are coming from, but sometimes things happen and change the way you are looking at things.

Edit: After reading your edit it seems you are angry at the wrong people. At least you have chosen an appropriate username.

Dude, if you don’t have anything useful to contribute just save the energy your comment is taking up.

If you are just here to attack people without making a point go back to reddit.

We need a system to hold those in power responsible for their promises and inactions.

I don’t trust corporations, the only thing important for them is the balance sheet, they will always take the easy and cheap way. There should be a world wide tax on all companies which decreases with the companies sustainability. Hit corporations where it hurts them: money.
