For those in the know about privacy laws and the such. What is a proper response to reddit's claim that they cannot remove all the information associated to an account without first the user removing all of their posts? (kbin.social)

As the title says, Reddit replied to my GDPR request to delete all my data saying I had to do it first, which I suspect is in violation of GDPR law....

Why does no one make a Black and White-style game? (kbin.social)

As long as we are talking about old games that are still the gold standard, how is it possible no one has recreated the giant-god-monster and city management game Black and White yet?! That game was fantastic, and its premise so solid. It seems ripe for replication in more contemporary engines.

Semi newbie with semi ambitious goals, point me in the right direction (kbin.social)

I am interested in tech and would say I have more knowledge about networking than the average person, but there's still a lot that's way above my head. I've played around with Pis a little and have set up things like home assistant and foundry VTT before....

Shitposting is Wrong (kbin.social)

Shitposting is what ruined reddit, which would be a great place for serious discussion if it weren't for the shitposting maniacs who just can't let good people enjoy pictures of kittens and assertions of respectable politics without lampooning them with ironic memes and foul language....

lost my email because of Google 2FA (kbin.social)

TL;DR, my computer broke because I spilled water onto it. I got a new phone recently and my number was changed, so I couldn't use that to log back in with 2-step verification, and I tried send it to my alternate email instead. It says I have to "wait 24 hours" but I never get the fucking verification email so apparently I have...

Going on a trip for the next few days and will have plenty of downtime in the hotel room on my iPad. What are your favorite ipad games?...

Did Hogwarts Legacy ever get cracked successfully? (kbin.social)

I was always cautiously curious about the game but am not thrilled about supporting Rowling. Last time I checked it seemed like it was proving to be extremely difficult to crack. I see some torrents listed but they're not from uploaders I recognize and the seed count seems a little low for a modern high profile release. Are...

All mods of /r/self and /r/shittylifeprotips were removed and suspended for 7 days without any warning first. (kbin.social)

We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS. I say "we" but in reality I was the only active mod on either sub, so I do feel bad for getting awkwardtheturtle banned by association (lol). After the fact got the "It’s not ok to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it....

I wrote my own streaming app for Android TV. Do you want me to open source it? (kbin.social)

What is the benefit to joining private torrents? (kbin.social)

Apologies if this is a basic question, but I am curious to know what I am missing out on by not having access to private torrents? I have been able to find everything I wanted using public ones.

How do I subscribe to [email protected]? (kbin.social)

I want to subscribe to this magazine on another instance, but it doesn't seem to let me.

Just realized something I don't miss about reddit: post anxiety (kbin.social)

Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of "I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down"? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there's value in moderation, and I'm sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it...

Aaron A Reed Releases 50 Years of Text Games Portal (kbin.social)

I've long been a fan of text adventures (aka interactive fiction) so when I saw that Aaron A. Reed was Kickstarting a book covering 50 years of it, I immediately became a backer. For each year, he selects one text adventure that encapsulates what the state of the genre was like for that year. Well, he's recently released it to...
