Kerala is rolling out free broadband for its poorest citizens. What’s stopping your government?
  • Greed.

    The answer is always Greed.

    What profit is my government(Greek) going to have by doing this? Nothing, so obviously it's not gonna be done.

    If everything is because of profit, then nothing works.

    Reddit is restoring deleted posts
  • I have already sent a GDPR request to Reddit and they refuse to comply.

    I asked them to delete everything they have about me, including my account and they told me that I need to login into reddit and ask it from there which:

    1. I don't have to since GDPR says that I can even do it verbally and I don't even have to write to a specific email, I can just let any employee of that company that I want this and they should honor it.
    2. They straight up don't even have the option to delete your data there, since I requested for the complete erasure of my data as that is also in my rights.

    Reddit literally refuses to comply with GDPR rules and tonight after work I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

    Fuck Reddit I hope it crashes and burns.

    This comment right here
  • This comment is incorrect as well.

    The people that cared left and what's left behind is people that wouldn't leave anyway and the strike only bothers them.

    This person is living in a bubble and can't see further than their nose.

    lemmy Vs kbin?
  • Apparently they had a falling out or something because there a similar post by the tankie including screenshots and proof that the dude that posted the above is lying.

    I don't wanna start my experience by listening to someone else to be honest so I will decide for myself what is better for me.

    And up until now lemmy has had a better experience for me than kbin social. Additionally I think kbin isn't open to signups anymore from what people are saying.

    I have been using lemmy for more than a week now and have also talked with the dev/admin both regarding communities and on GitHub for a pull request I did. The experience was good and for now I will be staying here.

    I also don't like the look of kbin and the ux for now.

    I have an account in mastodon, kbin, tildes, raddle and lemmy and out of all, lemmy seemed to work the best for me, for now.

    • New Atlantis is the biggest city Bethesda ever created. There are more cities:

    • Neon: Known as Pleasure city. Cyberpunk style.
    • There is a mythical group called Constellation. They are the last explorers of humanity and are looking for answers to long lasting humanity's questions. Your main story revolves around them I think.

    • You can commit piracy on friendly ships.

    With a sprinkle of suspiciously similar variable names here, there, and everywhere
  • As I've been using mods for Tears of the Kingdom game there were 2 versions of the DS4 UI prompts mod.

    The first one almost never worked and was slowly getting updated so another dude just remade a new one and made it better and for all layouts.

    The dude that created the first mod then started sending cringe messages to the new modder about how they look awfully similar and why did he choose to do that.

    Dude, you made a mod that changes the letter A icon to the letter O icon. What creative freedom do you think there is to make a unique mod?
