Can I _request_ my data? Or is this just for opt-out/delete. I would actually like to "reclaim" it before it's deleted, as I try to do with every service.

I mean, they don't have that _exact_ reason, but they have "Conflict of interest". Here's the reasons shown to me I can report with https://elixi.re/i/yf61g.jpg . Can always get friends to report th

Yeah, both my Nexus and Pixel 1 had that issue. I lost 6 months photos and other data because of that. Now I continuously backup my entire phone to my file server when on my home wifi, and a whiff of a bootloop gets me rattled. My current P

Is there any way to make it safe? I've bought newer pixels and they are a downgrade all around for me. I just want security updates and the ability to browse on-device files/do file management (newer Androids keep restricting furt

I'm still on the Pixel 3! I can't get off. I bounced off the Pixel 6. It's too big in my hand. The finger print sensor is in a weird spot. Android 13 is more restrictive. And worst? It's not faster or better. It's l

Existing business will have to pay for those compliance officers, salaried or through outsourced work. It WILL require more scale. There is no reduction here. In absolute terms, less time will be spent writing software and more time will be

No, jobs created will be with the entrenched companies, who will grow their monopoly over the software labor market and make the software ecosystem _worse_. Tackling legislation and compliance requires scale or money (to outsource the compl

I'm just talking about an installer in general, a wizard handling user customization and environment specific casing. Seems like the only place you might want something like that in the modern age would be an OS installer. Except I&#x2

Why use an installer at all in this day and age? A lot can be customized in the browser nowadays before download. Or tweaked after download/execution. Or use a build script (if technical audience). Or just isn't needed. I think th

I always wonder how this sort of data ends up escaping into the wild en-masse. Everytime I've come up against wanting public records they're not public by way of API public. They're always public with no easy way to get at th

I didn't realize Typescript had looked at/experimented with feeding type information to the JS engine to help with performance/memory layout. Neat! I've done some transformer work and love playing with that typing info A

I've stopped following pretty much everything except HN. Which is unfortunate (though sorta nice for my mental health), but my interests right now are also narrow. I'd suggest Lemmy? It still feels small, and has decent activity f

I've been using Kagi for about a year now as well and have been very happy. I find that I still go back to Google when I am ready to purchase a product or find a local service. In this case, I find that I'm generally happy with th

I hate that dialog box. It annoys me so much because I'm lazy and adding the key to a new install is always an afterthought. It's much worse with the Sublime SFTP plugin because I use it infrequently and so I only put in the licen

It annoys me when I write blog posts like this, it's so hard to link to a specific line of code and have that link stay alive and useful/fresh over time. I guess if it's GitHub, you can tie it to a specific commit hash, file

I wish someone would keep track of this, I hate when an internal policy change affects what data you can actually retrieve. It's why I don't delete some of my accounts when I think I might be able to get more data in the future fr

Nitpick, "The core purpose of graphics in a GUI is not to be pretty" - Maybe for programs where it is for user reading and modifying data. But I'd argue that is only a fraction of interfaces. Small business websites are very

Just ran into this. Many companies I request my data from have retention periods and would rather be rid of it. Rare are a couple that do seem to keep _everything_ though
