  • Separation of data between accounts makes them fall under different retrieval requirements.

    As one account, a request for all of the data from that account contains both chunks. Separation of those accounts separates the need to accommodate requests for data from one on the other.

    It can also mean that internally they may have a sufficient mechanism that data that was previously identifying to no longer being identifying (breaking userid to data pairings for example) which is sufficient to “anonymize” the data that it no longer needs to be reported or maintained.


  • GDPR and pii reasons most likely. It’s a nightmare keeping track of why certain data is on certain accounts. This can vastly simplify the GDPR compliance mechanisms. If your GOG account is merged with your PR account, there is probably significantly more “sensitive” data (CC numbers, addresses, etc) in the GOG account. This probably exempts some data that either cdpr or gog tracks from deletion or retrieval requests.






  • Generally yes with two huge caveats.

    First, It has been widely demonstrated that diverse teams are more productive and produce higher quality products than homogeneous teams.

    Second, selection criteria is heavily biased towards homogeneous teams and has also been demonstrated to stifle innovation.

    Desire/inspiration is nearly as important as capability and non-optimal teams (according to most, if not all selection criteria) will consistently outperform “optimal” teams in any tasks that require innovation.






  • This is exactly why having a couple of big instances is so beneficial. I don’t want to have to manage the infrastructure of Lemmy. I don’t want to think about banning instances for csam in particular. I want to be able to go to a place that has a set of rules I understand and that takes care of it for me.

    Honestly, I don’t think there needs to be a discussion about defederation anymore… maybe a non-stickied post… but the people who are against it need to leave / get over it. To the rest of us sane people, defederation is 100% an obvious necessity in an open social structure where things like csam even exists as a possibility. Even something as benign as bots is reason enough to defederate.

    Just do it. We don’t need to agonize over it or talk about it anymore. There are a lot of assholes in the world. I don’t need to engage with them.

    This was a bad argument then and it’s a bad argument now.

    Either a publication can be trusted or it can’t.

    The difference is that a government that stands in the middle of free press inherently makes it impossible to trust that press. The only thing a government can and should do is provide a safe (free of the fear of the loss of life, privilege or property) area for people to engage in discussion. People seeking honesty will have to rigorously find it or have the ability to choose who they allow to find it on their behalf.

    Capitalists will absolutely try to muddy the waters and people must be prepared for it.

    What?

    My argument directly engaged with the original post that game developers should be forced to open source their software. The analogy you made has nothing to do with open source software, it has to do with payment models…

    Edit: and ops position doesn’t make any claims about payment models…
