To my knowledge, these privacy laws prevent corporations from holding onto your data after you have requested to delete it. Lemmy is not a corporation, and there is no single entity that holds onto all of your data. That's just a tradeoff of being decentralized.

If modern social media trends have shown us anything, it's that content quality could be shit and it doesn't matter if there will be thousands - if not millions- of people swarming to view it.
Nothing against you btw, it's just a general frustration I have with trying to move focus away from these sites
Yeah, the article itself makes me a lot less sympathetic towards the author than the headline would suggest, given he instigated this whole legal dispute on frankly idiotic premises.
As an older Zoomer myself, your description of Gen Z fits me to a T
Might be because of Threads, and Meta seeking to use ActivityPub themselves.
I don't disagree with you though; I don't think the fedi is big enough at the moment to register as more than a blip on their radar, as you said.
A pair of powered speakers, hoping I might get lucky at my local thrift stores.
I've seen some good ones in the past for low prices but wasn't in the market for them until now.
If plastic grocery bags could be considered single use, then I think I have an interesting method to share.
Since I was young, probably in the 2nd grade or so, my mom and I were trying this project where we'd take plastic bags and cut them into strips. We'd then feed these into her sewing machine, which used one of its functions to stretch the plastic until it was about the same with as a thin strand of rope or thick yarn. We'd quite literally roll them into balls of plastic yarn.
She'd then knit them into all sorts of things. Drawstring bags, coin purses, and her favorite- tote bags. They were very pretty and had unique feel to them as well. The best I could describe it was it felt like a fake leather purse, but more bumpy due to being knit. It might not be the most efficient method of reducing single use plastic waste, but given that we still have the bags we made back then, I'd say we did a pretty good job of keeping them out of the landfill!
I should also add that with YouTube Revanced you can make the app ad free, which is the primary reason I use it over other music streaming
It's right there in the middle, 01001270623 smh

Apart from those, Id recommend Behind the Overlay- it's an extension that removes a lot of unclosable popups on pages in a single click. Things like "disable your adblock" messages or websites that poorly gatekeep content behind a subscription.
Denuvo probably limits it from its full potential, but the game still runs really well, even on older hardware. Granted, P5R isn't a brand new title but a port of an older one so that prob helps
My thoughts exactly. If it's making finding solutions to problems worse for the end user, that's obviously bad for the end user, but it also means it's affecting the reputation of the site in some meaningful way- even if it's as simple as inconveniencing a guy looking for an answer
