Normally I’d whole heartedly agree, but to be accused of anything even close to CSAM means he is likely one of:

• guilty, and not smart enough to hide it
• innocent, and incredibly stupid (considering his position in media)
• the victim of a very dark Wile E. Cayote frame up job

Guess we’ll all find out soon enough.

Oh ffs is anybody on TV not a paedo?!

My word, some good news! Hopefully the extension happens and all my country-boy dreams can come true

I should add that it isn’t perfect, it’s early access so expect some weirdness albeit a whole lot less than you’d think.

My favourite, for example: if you’re hiding behind cover make sure it is THICK, else a body part might clip through the model making it able to be shot. Mostly happens when prone making legs and feet stick out.

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.

Okay, clearly you’re just here to to be contrary or whatever. Maybe you don’t like that people have different opinions than you. Maybe you’re a Zuck fanboy and can’t hack being on the wrong side of the fence. Maybe you’re part of some FaceBook/Meta conspiracy to brigade.

If you’re so smart and confident that you’re correct, why don’t you show me the bit where GDPR doesn’t apply? Burden of proof on the accuser and all that.

Here is a link to a search, where the first page of results is showing that when Facebook bought WhatsApp this exact same issue popped up - what was once two distinct services suddenly started sharing data, despite user dissent. We’ve seen this before, and people are pissed off just like before.

I hope you step on some Lego in a dark room. You could use that to post to your Threads account! 🤙

Actually it’s more like being upset that Facebook friends show up in WhatsApp.

The user in the link is upset because their IG profile is now visible in a different service and they did not explicitly consent to this.

And of course there is such a thing as a Threads account, you even refer to it in your second paragraph. Just because they share a common IDP doesn’t mean they aren’t a distinct service. It’s effectively single sign on without the appropriate privacy protections.

It’s cool that you’re into the whole thing, but other people aren’t and they have a right to be pissed off. GDPR and the like weren’t created for no reason.

No, it’s just that users don’t like systems where you have to opt out by default. Like you used to have to opt out of shitty marketing emails after a purchase, but then we changed that to opt in and everyone is happier.

It’s not stupid, you shouldn’t be able to discover users in one service from another unless those user have explicitly opted in. It’s not a technical issue, it’s a principals issue.

In this case, you create a Threads account and you should be able to discover everyone else who has also made a Threads account (cos that’s the point), but you shouldn’t be able to see Instagram only users unless they have explicitly said that’s ok.

This is probably all ‘explained’ in the T&C’s, buts that’s getting into a whole other thing

Woke up and chose violence today huh? ;)

Having used both, I’d say stick with Android if you prefer tinkering, hop to iOS if you just want to pick up your device and do stuff.

Neither platform has any real privacy unless you do a de-googled Android (and that should be a third category IMO). Apple claims privacy but is at least moving toward a place where that isn’t really true. Privacy is a moot point when it comes to smartphones I guess.

To answer your question: don’t move to iOS if it doesn’t support a feature/function that is non negotiable for you. The stuff that works on iOS works well, and the stuff that doesn’t just basically doesn’t exist for the most part. iOS really only puts stuff into production that it thinks are near enough perfected already and everything else isn’t released outside beta programs.

Yeah it’s annoying as hell. I blocked it.

Between stuff like this and the fairphone I’m really struggling not to pick one up to play around with

This thread has started sounding like a conversation between hobbits on their favourite places in the shire and I love it.

When I’m dead just throw me in the trash

Your argument boils down to ‘my towel is on the deck chair so tough’. The opinion of other people in this thread is largely that it would be really nice to live in a world where we don’t have to have pool attendants that go around taking towels off deck chairs when they’ve been left unattended for 30 minutes.

To be fair to you - you did get there first and claim the name and so have a lot of the say on the community’s future. What I’d say in response is that if you really want to keep the community here on this instance you’d be best off making it active and healthy as opposed to dormant. Either the community will be removed so someone else can claim the name, or someone that really wants a community with the same name will just create one on a different instance and then you’re back to square one with the name poach fears anyway.

TL;DR: Shit or get off the pot, bro :)

I know ultimately the power rests with the instance owner and they have the ability to do whatever they fancy, but as things grow I worry about the escalating admin burden placed on them without any sort of automation in place to help out. I’m making some assumptions here, but right now I think instance owners either need to be hyper vigilant for this sort of stuff, or have it pointed out to them (which comes with it’s own can of worms like being flooded with messages or people reporting mods for bad reasons).

I think ideally there will be a tool one day that instance owners can set some thresholds in that alerts them to this kind of thing so that they can take action as and when needed, rather than by report or request.

Right now I guess it’s up to @tom what happens.

I suppose this kind of thing was inevitable, which is why we have domain registrars to arbitrate on the internet.

This never even occurred to me as a thing to be worried about. What a lame thing to be doing.

Maybe when Lemmy is more developed as a platform there will be a way for instance owners to remove mods that haven’t been active in X days? Perhaps when that threshold has been reached there could be some mechanism that opens up and allows people to send a de-mod request to an instance owner.

Or do we just need an internal investigations department for community owners?

Hopefully being able to post and comment across instances!

Edit: that’s worked so now we’re cooking!
