So, a small anecdote from me, although from within the German Bundeswehr:

Back when I left school, Germany still had a mandatory 9 month military service (you could refuse military service in exchange for a civil service). The first three months were basic training and fairly strict, in that we had to salute higher ranking personell when we were in uniform. Our group had the luck of getting a private as a substitute group leader, someone who just finished their first 3 months. Since we were technically the same rank, we didn't have to salute the first three months.

After our three months, everyone was transfered to different barracks, I was transfered to a military airport, specifically a helicopter sqaudron. So when I entered the hangars, I came across the first officer and saluted them, according to military conduct. They saluted back but immediately followed up, asking me to never do that again.

Air force pilots and their crew are almost exclusively officers and up, so when I was in the barracks, I would have to constantly salute, and they would have to salute back, and no one wanted that. So we were told not to salute, a friendly "good morning/day" would be enough.

There was only one person in the entire barracks that we were supposed to salute, and that was the barracks' commander. Who, at their first visit to our squadron, told our squadron leader beforehand to have us not to salute him, either, so we didn't.

Tl;dr: In my entire 9 months of military service, I only saluted once and was immediately told to never do that again.

recollecting from memory: Early in the war, russian news reported they busted a nazi hideout in the occupied donbass region. The report was accompanied by a picture of swastika flags, nazi tshirts, 3 copies of the "Sims 3" game and a document signed with "Illegible". All layed out neatly on a bed.

Apparently, the instructions for staging the photo was to include Nazi paraphenalia, 3 SIM Cards and a document with an illegible signature. And someone didn't read the instructions properly (or took them too literal), and instead used 3 copies of Sims 3, as well as a document signed with the name "illegible"

Fair point, I guess my issue is trust.

The GDPR data I received from reddit revealed to me that the comments I edited and deleted have not actually been deleted from the database, just edited.

EDIT: Furthermore, I am "worried" that all reddit would need to do to be compliant to my GDPR delete request, was to remove my association with the comments, i.e. leaving the comments up but disasociating it with my account by changing the poster name to [deleted]. It seems to me, that in order to be GDPR compliant, reddit only needs to allow me to delete my content myself, which they do - but manually editing and deleting 4000 comments is not a job I want to do.

Zeigt ganz klar wie ineffizient die Autohersteller doch arbeiten.

what exactly is wrong with the post you linked to?

I believe it can be reasonable to defederate without including the community beforehand, as long as it communicated as transparent as it has been done here, and allows discussion of the decision afterwards. If the content is as harmful as the examples make it out to be, the faster the instance is defederated, the better. It seems to me that if the decision was wrong or the community against it, it could just as fast be re-federated.

That article is from 2020, so they are 16 now, possibly even 17, given that the original picture was taken 2007 when they were 11 months old (which is almost a year [citation needed])

Thank you so much, this sounds exactly like what I was looking for.

I've previously seen people mentioning the name, but googling it lead me to a webservice that is currently defunct due to the API limits.

ATS and ETS are pretty much on sale for $5 during every sales event.

That's not meant to be dismissive though, they are great games, a few years old, and definitely a great value. DLC can be a bit more expensive, but the base games allow for plenty of fun on their own.

I fully agree with the 8bitdo recommendation. I have an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, and I love it. I love that it is easily customizable, I love that I can use it on multiple devices (Quest 2, Nintendo Switch, PC/Deck), I love that it comes with a rechargable battery but can also be used with AA batteries. Build quality feels great and it can often be found for around $30-40.

Elmo is going to take the praise and dwell in it. He won't care who these words came from, and he's going to praise Putin back for his "insightful observation". And Elmos fanboys are going to suck it up, and will probably go on to say that the world better bows to them both. I hate everything about this, so much.

I was using Power Delete Suite, specifically this fork. It's slower because reddit apparently rate limits comment edits for a few seconds, this fork pauses inbetween every edit. https://github.com/gbf-dtb/PowerDeleteSuite So far, edit/deleted content has not reappeared on my profile. PDS can apparently only access public comments and posts, subs that were set to private would not show posts or comments in my profile, PDS could subsequentily not delete that content. As subs re-opened from the blackout, posts from those communities would "re-appear" in my profile, I then re-ran PDS to edit and delete those "new" comments.
