When you delete a Reddit account, it will mark your username as "[deleted]" so they are at least attempting to anonymize the posts. Reddit has no obligation to remove anonymized posts unless it contains identifiable personal data. (https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/eu-general-court-examines-data-1532025/) "If data about individuals is processed so that the individuals cannot be identified, the data can be used free from the restrictions imposed by the GDPR (e.g. enabling a pharmaceutical company to use patient data for R&D)." If the data recipients (readers) can't link it back to a identifiable person (a specific person), it's not personal data. Of course, they're not going to just blanket delete every post a user ever made because that's not in their favor. If there is a specific post with personally identifiable data Reddit is clearly assuming the onus is on the user to request deletions of specific posts that contain identifiable personal data (which GPDR.EU says they are absolutely allowed to do). Unless they are challenged in court, they ain't gonna do jack shit. Not saying you can't try or that what Reddit is doing is right, but good luck!

I am obviously not a lawyer but I don't see how Reddit is in the wrong here. On GDPR.EU that "The EU’s GDPR only applies to personal data, which is any piece of information that relates to an identifiable person. It’s crucial for any business with EU consumers to understand this concept for GDPR compliance." I don't see how your comment history would be considered "personal data".

It even says in Reddit's TOS that "When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us 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 and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world".

You've agreed that your posts are no longer your "personal data" at that point...

This should be a different post, but it depends on what you're planning to do with them. Enums are flexible and could totally make do there regardless of semantic cyclical-ness. Remember with enums you're able to just ignore the values altogether; that's one of the major reasons to use them. If I have a limited list of flags that I use directly in code, they don't have to change at runtime, and don't need additional data associated to them (like 'number of days' or something similar), I'll use an enum.

If you wanted to actually cycle though them in your code, it might be clearer to use both a manager class with a enum. Inside the class, you could use a something like a CurrentSeason property and have a NextSeason, PreviousSeason method to cycle through them. Using modular arithmetic would allow you to change the number of items to cover future features like seasonal transitions or something without having to modify any of your code.

I really like the idea of Blazor PWAs. Blazor just makes so much more sense to me rather than dealing with anything related to XAML/WPF/UWP. Developing with those just always felt so clunky and "anti-orthogonal" (best way I can describe it) to me. I felt I always had to remember really specific syntax and patterns to do things different things related to layout, databinding and styling. So much faffing about with custom ValueConverters and templates for something that Blazor can just do seamlessly with HTML. It all seemed so unintuitive compared to how Blazor really naturally extends HTML though C# without having to even touch javascript or its assorted frameworks and their additional hooha and complexity. Plus, if you wanted, you can take existing sites and HTML templates and fairly easily turn them into C# apps and give them access to .NET libraries.

Everyone's different but I find that if I want to learn something new, I HAVE to find a concrete use case for it first. It's utterly futile (and I'll just procrastinate forever) if I just try to only slog through a bunch of tutorials without an endgame in mind. Biting off more than I can chew usually works for me because I'm stubborn AF.

1. Start blindly flailing like a madlad on a project until I can define a particular gap in knowledge. 2. Research said gap. 3. Rinse, repeat.

The best employees are the ones who would do anything to stay 'employed' even when you don't pay them.

Saw a link to lemmy.world on reddit, went to it, clicked 'sign up', filled in my info and waited for an email. I don't get why people think it's difficult. It's literally the same as any other website. Reddit's astroturfing hard on how 'hard' lemmy is to use.

Interesting. It's working for me as anon so I'm assuming federation is working. Not sure why it wouldn't work when logged in.

Are you looking for them under a specific account ie. https://lemmy.ml/u/DarraignTheSane wouldn't show posts as https://lemmy.world/u/DarraignTheSane. I was under the assumption that accounts on different instances are not the same even with the same name, but I could be dead wrong.

it works

"It was January 2018, and the company’s engineering team was about to hand over the craft — named Titan — to a new crew who would be responsible for ensuring the safety of its future passengers. But experts inside and outside the company were beginning to sound alarms.

OceanGate’s director of marine operations, David Lochridge, started working on a report around that time, according to court documents, ultimately producing a scathing document in which he said the craft needed more testing and stressed “the potential dangers to passengers of the Titan as the submersible reached extreme depths.

Mr. Lochridge reported in court records that he had urged the company to do so, but that he had been told that OceanGate was “unwilling to pay” for such an assessment. After getting Mr. Lochridge’s report, the company’s leaders held a tense meeting to discuss the situation, according to court documents filed by both sides. The documents came in a lawsuit that OceanGate filed against Mr. Lochridge in 2018, accusing him of sharing confidential information outside the company.

In the documents, Mr. Lochridge reported learning that the viewport that lets passengers see outside the craft was only certified to work in depths of up to 1,300 meters.

That is far less than would be necessary for trips to the Titanic, which is nearly 4,000 meters below the ocean’s surface.

"The paying passengers would not be aware, and would not be informed, of this experimental design,” lawyers for Mr. Lochridge wrote in a court filing.

The meeting led OceanGate to fire Mr. Lochridge, according to court documents filed by both sides. OceanGate has said in court records that he was not an engineer, that he refused to accept information from the company’s engineering team and that acoustic monitoring of the hull’s strength was better than the kind of testing that Mr. Lochridge felt was necessary."
