I sometimes feel like the only person that remembers that DSA exists. It went into effect in August.

New EU regulations put more responsibilities on tech giants: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Services_Act

Lemmy instance admins are responsible for staying compliant with laws of countries they operate in, there’s nothing new about it.

misk OP , to technology in How Google Alters Search Queries to Get at Your Wallet
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

As much as I dislike Axel Springer, they seem to own just 20% of Qwant.

In my experience DDG kinda sucks, when I gave it a honest try (~1 month of having it as default) I kept going back to Google too much.

I don’t have any trouble dumping services when they go bad. I’m on Lemmy after all.

I’ve recently found Qwant which I can recommend trying out. It’s a European search engine with it’s own index, independent from Google or Bing, privacy focused and free. The search results are pretty good, not sure if that’s because it’s just not affected by SEO focusing on Google.

The biggest issue I have with all of the alternatives is that Google Maps is just so much better than anything and integrating Maps results is extremely useful. Qwant integrates with OpenStreetMap but obviously that’s just not the same.

misk OP , to technology in Paris Hilton is getting a special deal to post on X
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

Y’all hate how funny it is that Twitter used “queen of pop culture, music, business, and TV” to describe has-been bimbo influencer and an amateur porn star Paris Hilton. And what they have to do to ever become solvent.

misk , to technology in Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization based on your activity on the platform
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

You’re thinking of Digital Markets Act which covers extra responsibilities of tech giants on things like interoperability and self-preferencing.

Being able to opt out of personalized ads is requirement of GDPR which has been in effect for a couple of years now and applies to every company providing services in EU.

misk , to steam in Steam and 5 publishers fined for geoblocking
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

I haven’t read full document but I’m Polish and remember that back in the day when buying some games off Steam you’ve got some kind of eastern European version that was separate from global one.

Other than DLC being incompatible, the biggest pain in the ass was that the language selection was very limited, commonly just Polish, Lithuanian and Russian (which nobody speaks here). If you weren’t fan of localization or wanted to play game in the English or original language you were out of luck.

misk , to noncredibledefense in Big Brain Billionaire War Policy
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

You claim Gasthejews6969 is harmless, merely joking about genocide of jewish people. He, among many other on Twitter, are spreading genocidal rhetoric, be it against Jews, Ukrainians or some other ethnic group. Civilized countries criminalize such behavior recognizing measurable harm that they cause. Nazi propagandist have been tried and found guilty as well.

Twitter is being used to kill people, Musk is fine with that. It’s entirely comparable, but the comparison looks damning for Musk and anyone who defends him.

misk , (edited ) to noncredibledefense in Big Brain Billionaire War Policy
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yes, they’re different. Ukraine needed Starlink to defend itself. I don’t think Gasthejews6969 has a valid self defense claim and only advocated for ethnic cleansing, which historically has proven to be quite successful.

But I do love that you defend Gasthejews6969. Tells everyone who you are.
