I couldn’t read any further, so thanks for more context. I would really love it if we’d share more open articles here so there is the full context to digest and discuss

I didn’t see anything in the article and the X embeds are just text to me, so here’s a video: https://youtu.be/cu9OnPo5IIE

If you like to stay in good spirits, don’t read the comments.

• this is a member only article so people are going to mention the (pay) wall
• this is about a tweet from 2020
• what does expressing overthrowing a country in 2020 have to do with c/technology?

It’s telling how you get downvoted, but someone saying the same shit about Apple in this thread gets upvoted.

I hate shitty practices like everybody else, but please keep them to the same standard.

As someone who found elementor the only thing that was working at the time - any suggestions to do better? I have no coding experience fyi

I see the problem, it looks like Amazon. Stop shopping there

Still didn’t sell any data. And they completely removed OpenAI collaboration from the platform after experimenting with it.

Discord.

I will probably get downvoted because Lemmy has a hate boner for Discord, but they don’t sell any user data.

Idk any tech support communities, but you should try booting into BIOS to see if your storage drive is detected. If not, it probably failed (read: it’s dead, fam)

You could try to see if you can reinstall the OS but if the BIOS doesn’t detect the drive, I doubt the OS setup will.

While the data loss will suck, a new drive isn’t very expensive. Plus if you’re still on a HDD, it would be a good time to replace it with an SSD.

Statistics might be hard. But there’s studies https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/homophobes-might-be-hidden-homosexuals/

Next to these studies there’s also examples of staunch anti-queer people who later got caught being queer themselves, especially politicians.

It never was. It’s freedom of speech without having to fear governmental penalties, broadly speaking. Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable “speech”.

She had served as the clerk without controversy for two decades as an elected Republican, and she flew a flag at her own home that read: “Trump 2024 — Take America Back.”

Seems it could go either way

$600 fine, wow. This guy should spend a few nights in jail instead.

It will take a while before we can shake off the redditisms, I think. But I’m with ya

You forgot the “take my upvote and” part

I will look it up but please feel free to elaborate, it sounds cool.

As https://lemmy.world/u/efstajas pointed out, it’s pretty common.

Discord doesn’t sell your data. They repeatedly state they don’t in their terms of service, and they would be in big trouble if caught lying about that.

Edit:

Discord’s privacy policy repeatedly states that they do not sell your personal information:

We don’t sell your personal information. Our business is based on subscriptions and paid products, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

We make money from paid subscriptions and the sale of digital (and sometimes physical) goods, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

We do not sell the personal data of our users or share personal data for targeted advertising purposes.

No sale or “share” of personal information: The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that sell or “share” personal information. We do not sell or share the personal information of our users as defined in the CCPA.

This is a legal document that they will get in trouble for if they were lying. They’ve already been fined hundreds of thousands of euros for GDPR violations but that curiously did not include a fine for “took people’s personal information and then sold them without consent whilst explicitly saying they didn’t do that”

Discord further has no third party advertisements which they can use to “sell” your data by allowing those advertisements to target you.

Thanks to a redditor for this write up

It’s not related to the pronoun picker bot, it’s just for analytics

You don’t give your gender to Discord when signing up. It’s also nothing to do with the pronouns that you can set with the integrated app/bot, that only counts for the server you’re in

“Like other companies, we use information to help us understand our business and improve the product. That includes certain inferences we may make about users. We include this information in users’ data requests for transparency, and users can limit the information we use by toggling the “Use data to improve Discord” off in the Privacy & Safety settings.”

So nothing really interesting. They are allowed to make a guess at my gender, I don’t care. They don’t have 3rd party ads and don’t sell my data, so it’s cool.

I know this goes against the grain here and we love to pile on walled gardens, but it’s really nothing out of the ordinary.
