Fighting Back: PoliticalHumor Breaks Down Barriers by making ALL subscribers Moderators
  • I just love how all the communities get to stick it to spez

  • Sweden adopts ‘100% fossil-free’ energy target, easing way for nuclear
  • I think that‘s great and hope my country will clear the way to build more nuclear power plants too

    Sure, the radioactive waste is not great, but renewable energy sources are too unstable to provide the baseline of power consumption

    Nuclear could provide that base power. Renewable sources in combination with pumped-storage hydroelectric facilities (or other ways to store power) would then be able to cover the fluctuations in demand

    Eventually we hopefully figure out how to generate power using fusion, but for now I don‘t think we have other good options

  • Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff
  • As far as I know that‘s because earlier in development the boost actually was the upvote, but now it‘s as you‘d expect it coming from Reddit

    But I think the reputation system just hasn‘t been adapted to this yet

    I‘ve just heard that from someone else around here, so take it with a grain of salt

  • What happens if a US site just ignores the GDPR?
  • As @hamid said: An agreement exists between the US and the EU granting any citizen the right to go to court to defend their rights to their data

    There‘s a summary as well as links to the actual agreements here

  • This feels like a forced reddit detox.
  • It‘s not intuitive, but you can find your subscriptions in the settings

    In terms of features kbin is kinda lacking, but considering that it‘s basically existed only for a few months and has been developed by a single guy it‘s pretty impressive

    I‘m sure new features will be added relatively quickly now that a lot of people are willing to help out

  • Lemmy's total users surged from 156k to 240k in a single day today! What caused the jump?
  • I‘m sure they wanted to. But maybe they realized that this would just enrage the people even more

  • How do we call kbin users?
  • I vote for Kbinauts, since we‘re kinda like astronauts exploring the fediverse

  • Romance isn't dead
  • Stealing her heart is clearly better. Doesn‘t the other guy know that they‘re far more valuable?

  • Twitter Runs Ads for Disney, Microsoft, and the NBA Next to Neo-Nazi Propaganda
  • Imagine contacting a company as a journalist for comment and getting a poop emoji as a response

    Twitter is almost as big of a shitshow as Reddit is

  • how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit?
  • Personally I don‘t use it for browsing anymore
    Sometimes I take a peak to check out the funny ways subs stick it to spez though

  • Nuking my 12yr/100k karma Reddit Account.
  • I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
    Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins

  • Orion nebula
  • I took the picture on my Canon 60D camera its kit lens (18-135mm, f3.5-5.6)
    It was attached to a SkyWatcher Staradventurer 2i

    In total I took 139 lights with an exposure time of 30s at ISO 300 and around 30 bias, flats, and dark flats each

    All images were stacked in DeepSkyStacker and then edited in Photoshop

    I adjusted the levels so that the nebula became visible, after which I adjusted the color a bit.
    I then removed the stars using StarNetv2 to be able to edit the stars and the nebula seperately.
    I cut out the nebula so I could darken the surrounding sky again, since at that point it had become quite bright and then added the stars back in

    PS: I hope this is enough about the process. If I should edit/add anything let me know!

  • Orion nebula

    Hey everyone!

    I'm really new to astrophotography. I've been interested in it for some time, but only started this winter. I know I have a lot to learn and many things to improve, but I wanted to share this since I'm pretty happy how it turned out. I probably messed up the colors a bit though

    This is my first picture

    As I said, I'm new to all this and I know it's far from perfect, but I'm always open to learn new things and improve!

    Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • Hmm yeah that's true... So really the question is who decides what "sufficiently anonymized" actually means. Or what counts as personal data and what does not. Probably only a court can answer these questions since the GDPR is not very precise in that regard

    I guess the best way to find out is to request deletion of all data including comments and posts, and if they don't comply then take them to court or file a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority

  • Just started the process of editing all of my Reddit comments
  • The website also states that „properly anonymized data“ is not affected by the GDPR.

    The only things from that list, that should be posted on a public internet forum, are race, gender and political views anyways. And it isn‘t really possible to identify a single user based on these data points

    By submitting content to Reddit you also granted them an irrevocable license to use it (according to their ToS) and Art.17, 3a of the GDPR protects data that is not identifiable from deletion

    But I guess it‘s worth a try. Maybe their DPO is a nice guy

  • Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • I think if that works it would be a great solution! Processing copyright claims is pretty time-consuming, so they‘d have to put a lot of work into it

    But the Reddit ToS states that by submitting content to their Services you

    grant [Reddit] a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content

  • Reddit may be bringing back deleted comments
  • You‘re right, you can use the GDPR to delete personal data. But again, I don‘t think posts and comment are considered personal data and that they would not have to be removed since they are essential to understanding the discussion as a whole

    The GDPR was never intended to be able to destroy information, just to protect the privacy of users. So as long as there‘s no information that could identify a user in their posts/comments (which no one should make publicly available anyways) then Reddit is under no obligation to delete the content you generated. They only have to disassociate it from your account, which they do by displaying the username as „deleted“

  • /r/pics is voting on whether to make the sub solely for sexy pics of John Oliver
  • The creative ways found by the communities to tell spez to fuck off is one of the few good things that has come from this disaster

    There‘s clearly only one way forward for r/pics!

    Searching magazines

    Is it just me or has something about the search changed? I think you used to be able to click on the search icon, then select "magazines" to search for one

    Now the only way I've found to do that is to scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "magazines" there

    Seems a bit cumbersome to me and I think it's not that intuitive either

    Edit: I think I‘ve found it!
