@g I must have missed news

@catsalad I’ve been looking for an excuse to send this

@saramg there’s a folder named “personal” on my work laptop

by French law, that’s a stopper right there

I’m safe /s

@reallylazybear I deleted my Discord account last month

Before that, I gradually left the (too many) channels I was in, and I explained my reasons to the few where I was actually interacting with people

I was hoping to make my contribution in the exodus by doing this, and perhaps I helped move the needle

One channel owner said they were considering moving, the others thanked me but stated they would stay, mentioning they were waiting to see big patterns before doing anything drastic

It’s going to take years of big groups leading the change (and losing reach) before we see any significant pattern, same as Twitter/Mastodon

@g the Edge extension on the work laptop was working so bad, actually got corrupted a few times, the 1P support told me to replace it with the Chrome extension

@chfkch which part of the yubikey do you need? Guessing it’s the touch

@chfkch thanks for trying

@chfkch I wish I could subscribe to this post

@thatdnaguy hmmm

If we are talking regex, a star means the preceding character is optional (or it can repeat) so yeah, banana (no S) works

I deleted a few more accounts today

While I was in this process, I discovered several services that had crammed AI training content checkboxes in their settings (Pinterest is one), and they had auto enrolled me but failed to actually ask for my consent… Luckily, I wasn’t using these accounts

Of course, several have a “delete account” button that doesn’t work (TikTok is one)

Many simply don’t have any way to let me delete the account

A few had made a big show of pretending to delete my account, with several emails about deadlines, but then proceeded to do nothing at all

Surprisingly, some services don’t even have a password change page, even though I needed a password to log in

Slack is confusing as ever

@tiefling I saw a repost of that other account and my timeline advised me that that instance was moderated by my instance’s admins, and could I please click here to bypass

In case this hurts adoption rates, now you know

@Jes @Ashedryden they still do that? I thought it stopped with the demise of CRT monitors

@catsalad weird

@dangoodin not wireless would be great (edit: that’s non trivial to do)

Don’t they need to power the sensor, hook it up to the car’s mini grid?

They blocked me. Cool.

Didn’t think I was too confrontational with this one, but I do think it’s wrong to share bad articles

@watchfulcitizen sure, there are several as you might expect, with various degrees of usefulness and no way to enforce any of them

@Em0nM4stodon

@watchfulcitizen that’s easy, it’s scraping of sources that have pre approved this use, and all the big ones have this kind of agreement (often for a fee)

But of course can you trust them to include only data that was contributed with the same agreement, that’s tougher

I’m thinking about the crowdsourced Japanese translation of this Mozilla thing, can’t remember the details, they bailed recently and withdrew their contributions when it comes to LLM fair use
