Phoronix: Several Linux Kernel Driver Maintainers Removed Due To Their Association To Russia
  • Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it's the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

    Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

    I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. "Healthy" and "global" being the key words, I'm not saying it's a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.

  • Phoronix: Several Linux Kernel Driver Maintainers Removed Due To Their Association To Russia
  • It's a fact of life that politics permeates everything, nothing is in isolation of the political climate it exists within.

    The state of the world today is a function of the politics that got us here, a big change in world politics can have dramatic and far reaching effects.

    A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day—which is unfortunately not the case in a lot of countries currently.

  • Are color schemes used in UIs of video games and computer software subject to trademark?
  • I think UIs are more typically patented if they do something unique.

    I'm pretty sure we know there are some trademarked UI elements though—I'd be surprised if the start button wasn't a Microsoft trademark at least when they launched windows 95

  • Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer.
  • Agree on the application side, but when it comes to the test suite, I'm definitely gonna consider letting an AI get that file started and then I'll run through, make sure the assertions are all what I would expect and refactor anything that needs it.

    I've written countless tests in my career and I'm still gonna write countless more, but I'm glad I can at least spend less time on laborious repetition now and more time on the part of the job I actually enjoy which is actually solving problems.

  • [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers.
  • Also not a lawyer but I've done a lot of GDPR training since it was introduced and I believe you're incorrect—the data subject posting it publicly or not doesn't factor into the validity of a deletion request under the GDPR. There are a limited set of specific reasons a service owner can refuse a deletion request and they're pretty much down to preventing abuse and facilitating compliance with other laws.

  • [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers.
  • From your link

    Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person[15]

    The "directly or indirectly" part is important here, a username is a constant identifier between a user's posts and comments

    Given comments and posts are free text input, there's no way of knowing the entire set of a user's content doesn't contain PII, unless an admin wants to spend the time combing through and determining which posts definitely contain PII and which definitely don't, they should delete it all. The data subject does not need to make specific listings of what they want deleted, the onus is on the service owner to be able to process the deletion request completely and within a timely manner.

  • [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers.
  • Not an admin, but from a legal perspective, users in the EU have the right to request deletion of their data under the GDPR, which the consequences of violation are up to €10m or 2% of annual turnover (not profit), whichever is higher

    Frankly, if a user asks a service owner to delete their personal data, the service owner should do it as promptly as possible.

  • Sympathy for their PTSD
  • I'm actually speechless.

    I hope this guy suffers until his end.

    If you run over HUNDREDS with a BULLDOZER, you deserve permanent PTSD to prevent you from ever fucking thinking of doing anything remotely like it again

  • Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns - BBC Sport

    Uefa warns ministers that England could be excluded from Euro 2028 over "concerns" that an independent football regulator could mean "government interference".

    Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns

    > Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

    > A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

    > The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

    > But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

    toast.ooo Canvas 2024 is live! - toast.ooo

    Rocky start, but we’re here! also making this almost an hour late due to the rocky start # What’s Canvas? Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas similar to Reddit’s r/place, except it is open to (almost) the entire Fediverse! The event is going on from July 12th 4am UTC to July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 ho...

    Why aren't there adult only flights?

    Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

    Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

    It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

    Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now

    Wasps: One Year On. Getting There

    www.wasps.co.uk Club Announcements

    It has been 12 months since the administration event that saw WASPS relegated from the RFU - and that was the day that we planned our return. You will know our journey through the fit and proper process of the RFU and the difficulties we faced on funding and acceptance to enter the Championship.

    As someone who's been a wasps fan for decades, this is finally some positive news after what has felt like a very long silence!

    Now I wonder where the ground they mention is going to be

    What's everyone played this week?

    I've just started Return to the Obra Dinn, so far really liking the art style and the main game mechanics. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds as it seems to be taking a "memento" style reverse chronological approach to telling it.

    Also still playing Halls of Torment as ever since Vampire Survivors, one of these top down roguelite shoot-em-up games has been in my rotation.

    Oh and I nearly forgot, also started pizza tower, but only dipped my toe into that one so far. Really enjoy the art and platforming mechanics so far.

    Which is the best entry in the series?

    Let's kick off some slightly low effort content here:

    Which is your favourite game in the series?

    For me it will always be between Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert.

    I think the story of TD is what pulled me into the series in the first place, and RA on Westwood online is what cemented me as a fan

    Can't subscribe to a lemmit.online community

    Hey, I've been trying to subscribe to [email protected] for a couple of days now and know the drill about searching it first and waiting for it to sync, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job.

    It looks like other lemmit.online communities seem to work fine, but this one seems to stubbornly refuse to show up.

    Is there something I'm missing here?

    Simple old Lemmy community bar customisation (updated again)

    UPDATES BELOW

    So I browse on the desktop using the mlmym/old.lemmy client (e.g. http://old.lemmy.world) because old habits die hard.

    One of the many things I found myself missing from RES & Reddit was the ability to customise the community bar at the top of the page to contain some links to my favourite communities. I had a spare minute this morning to throw together a userscript for just that:

    Here's a pastebin with the script. Create a new userscript in tampermonkey (or whatever userscript plugin you use), drop the code in, change the array of communities at the top to be the ones you want prepending to the list, and you should be good.

    Make sure to add the server suffix to any communities from other instances and if you want to use this on another instance other than lemmy.world, just change the match rule in the userscript header comment.

    I didn't host on greasyfork as I'm probably not going to make any further changes, and I'd need to come up with something a bit more sophisticated than an array of communities. I'll update this post if I ever change my mind on that

    Update

    So I guess I wasn't happy with leaving it alone:

    Here it is on greasyfork https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/474756-lemmy-mlmym-community-bar-customisation

    I added localStorage and a simple config GUI to configure the list of favourites now, no reordering yet (without just removing and re-adding in a different order), but I imagine I'll end up adding that in time

    Update 2

    And another update:

    I've just updated GreasyFork with 0.3

    • Added reordering
    • Added background fade and background click to close
    • Added favourite/unfavourite button to the community sidebar

    We did it!
