Sure, perhaps it’s possible that I saw an unusually high amount of apologists, but I’m saying that it happened enough times and consistently enough that it prompted me to block them before I even knew anything about them, which I think at least says something. I won’t claim to know what the majority opinion there is, but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that it’s an abnormal amount.
I dunno, I ended up blocking the instance way before I knew about their reputation (like, when I first joined Lemmy) because all of the users their kept posting the most unhinged shit.
I have definitely seen blatant apologism for China/Russia from them.
FWIW, I’m much further left than your average Democrat (I consider myself a leftist/anarchist). I personally don’t consider what I’ve seen from them to be very “left”, just authoritarian.
The manufacturer obviously also makes the app and can control the encoding.
You don’t have to take arbitrary bytes. UTF-8 encoded strings are just fine and easily handled by libraries.
At minimum you need to limit the request size to avoid DOS attacks and such. But obviously that would be a much larger limit than anyone would use for a password.
“Lemmy” (the software) doesn’t have any data. It all resides on servers owned by people other than Lemmy’s developers. They have the user data and would absolutely be subject to GDPR.
Again, no matter what Lemmy’s devs put in place, it doesn’t matter because the instance admins can do whatever they want.
GDPR is really designed to target software controlled by a single entity, but this isn’t that. The instances are responsible for their content, full stop. There’s no way of forcing an instance to delete content, and even if there were, since the admins are running it, there’s nothing stopping them from removing such a feature.
There’s also nothing stopping admins from deleting content from their servers (it’s just a database, after all).
Yes. Everyone should have autonomy over their own bodies, especially when it’s a matter of something as major as pregnancy. Pregnancy is a medical condition, and the only person that should (legally) have any input in medical decision making for pregnancy is the person that’s pregnant.
I don’t think it would be effective, I just found a certain amount of irony in the analogy.
I do think smartphones should probably be banned in schools, but that’s another topic.
Out of curiosity, does your country not have a census? I would have guessed every country does to have accurate information about their populace.
Obviously not. They’re saying that the person that gets pregnant gets to decide whether or not they want to abort. It’s not the decision of the sperm donor.
I don’t think you realize how fitting that analogy actually is. Kids so addicted to tiktok that it’s as essential to them as air. Pretty depressing.
Those are definitely all HSA things, and something I use mine for all the time. Dunno how it worked for you but I basically just have a debit card I can use that has my HSA balance on it. Functions like any other card.
Celebrities often pay for full time nannies and such. It’s pretty unlikely that they are actually taking care of the kids themselves.
