if it remember it correctly it was said in relation to algorithm optimization > code optimization

awesome! thanks the tip!

I’m using vim mode in my bash and i agree that a mode indicator would be nice

they need to identify you, not necessarily using your id card.

chapter 3, section 1, artcle 12, paragraphs 1 & 2.

i doubt there is profit to be made. it’s more to keep them busy and learning about gdpr.

they they need to id you everytime you exercise your gdpr rights. there is nothing they can do about this.

one of your rights under gdpr is that you are entitled (free of charge) to a listing of all the data the other party has about you.

when you ask them about this listing this request itself becomes data the party has about you. it should therefore he included in the listing. (it is self referential, but that’s how it is).

if the information that you requested such a listing is missing from the data they provide in response to you request, they are in breach of gdpr rules. from them on you might want to file a complaint.

( I’ve no idea whether this would result in any meaningful compensation, if at all. but at least it should keep them busy.)

i guess it’s related to the following; exercising your rights under gdpr requires the other party to be able to identify you. that’s why they need this information. if you want to (potentially) fuck with them: first ask for a listing of all the information they have about you, before asking for deleting your data. this listing must contain the request itself. if your request is missing, they are likely breaking compliance rules.

my 1WO stares at me in utter disbelief how his supposedly ace of a Kaleun could fuck up this badly. again. (Silent Hunter 3. snuck into a convoy at night and bad weather. convoy zigs towards me, no time for final speed estimation, i go with last estimate, 4 eels in the water, all pass ahead. possibility: convoy slowed one knot due sea state. decide to surface to reposition. have a brainfart, my artillery starts shooting. hell breaks loose, star shells and searchlights everywhere. both engines AK, course 90. destroyer follows shooting star shells. half an hour zigzagging until he loses me.

does anyone know whether these results were obtained while taking the size of the dictionary into account?

it’s sad really. on the other hand it feels like a throwback in time. going to dedicated forums, asking around, something like that. perhaps now it’s just becoming more obvious that the “recommended” (ahem amazon) options have always been little more than a scam.

I’ve got the same problem. my impression is that the recommender systems are built in such a way that they report any match regardless of how far removed it is from the intent of the user. i guess it’s the same reason why boolean operator don’t work anymore in google etc. makes sense from a business perspective i guess but the user experience is just horrible

well for companies it makes sense i guess. after all they could spend their money on other social media thingies if their research shows that mastodon isn’t working for them.

but what really bothers me is that this article shows that companies become interested in mastodon. i really would love to have a place just for people to interact not companies and their stupid social media teams. on their hand there’s a good chance that I’ll never even notice their posts anyways.

uhh this is dark. I’ll have to follow up on this. brr
