Be careful, that's an AI generated review. Definitely try to find other human reviews before you buy it.

They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn't getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.

I don't think I've been banned, but I did a similar thing. I requested all my data from Reddit, then used that list of comment/post IDs to mass-edit them. I think I'm in the clear because I used the official third party API, with an official "app." If you used the private API or instrumented this via the browser, that may be why you were banned.

Anyway, if you or someone else wants their full history, Reddit will give it to you via a data export request.

I still don't like how flippant they've been in every public communication. I read the ToS. It's short for a ToS, everyone should read it. They claim it was taken "out of context," but there wasn't much context to take it out of. The ToS didn't make this distinction they're claiming, there was no separation of Vultr forum data from cloud service data. It was just a bad, poorly written ToS, plain and simple.

They haven't taken an ounce of responsibility for that, and have instead placed the blame on "a Reddit post" (when this was being discussed in way more detail on other tech forums, Vultr even chimed in on LowEndTalk).

As for this:

Section 12.1(a) of our ToS, which was added in 2021, ends with "for purposes of providing the Services to you." This is intended to make it clear that any rights referenced are solely for the purposes of providing the Services to you.

This means nothing. A simple "we are enhancing your user experience by mining your data and giving you a better quality service" would have covered them on this.

We only got an explanation behind the ToS ransom dialog after their CMO whined in a CRN article. That information should have been right in the dialog on the website.

In both places, they've actively done vague things to cause confusion, and are offended when people interpret it incorrectly.

Great work, thanks!

Anything on Citra? PineappleEA made it easy enough to also download binaries for Yuzu, but I've got nothing but a flatpak for Citra.

A central place for binaries of both emulators would be great.

Both flatpaks are still available, by the way:

https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra

They can be bundled and exported after downloading, although it will only be for the architecture of your machine.

This was fixed already, but a new release of Lutris has not been published with the fix included. The exact line in your screenshot was specifically removed in this commit:

Granted. The house fire subsides and there is no structural damage.

However, the house is now empty. Every belonging or piece of furniture has mysteriously disappeared.

You could only save one thing. You chose your house.

Sync isn't trying to replace all Lemmy frontends or other FOSS apps, it's trying to provide a Reddit-like experience for people who miss it.

People just find reasons to be upset, I swear.

Yeah it's pretty universal. Similar feeling when a limb "falls asleep."

The article covers this a little bit, but I thought I'd share my email response from Google when I asked them "how can I prevent Squarespace from receiving any of my data?" They responded with:

Based on the summary you have shared, I understand that you need help with your general inquiry about the Google Domains transition to Squarespace. To answer this, if you will be transferring your domains out of Google, all of the data will also be removed. This means that once the transition between Squarespace and Google happens, your data will also be removed.

I responded to this and basically said, that wording is ambiguous. Will my data be removed before or after the transition? They replied:

I'm sorry for the confusion. To be clear, Squarespace will not receive any of your Google Domains data. Only the active domain names, excluding the domain names that have been deleted or transferred out, will be affected by the data shift to Squarespace.

So if I trust their word, it means, if I've already transferred out my domains (which I have), Squarespace shouldn't receive any of my customer information, or even have a record of who I am. Hopefully that's true.

I don't think I would have broken away without Kbin/Lemmy. Turns out I was addicted to discussion, not Reddit.

Good. Let's keep it up!

I don't want to see Reddit fail, but I do want to see them change their minds or at least offer a compromise. Remember to vote in your communities to continue the blackout!
