Reddit admins have already put things in place to counter editing or deleting comments.
I deleted an account from 2011 yet when I searched on Google for “site:reddit.com account name”, it listed loads of posts with their previous content (I used the script that changed all the contents before deleting).
All SM sites have been doing this for a while: they’ll shadow delete your account but will retain all the data.
Old man shouts at clouds hating on democratisation of music production tools and digital distribution, while sitting in his $x00,000 studio, wanting to consume music that uses laborious methods of manufacture and distribution and seeing it has no value if it doesn’t.
No, it’s all good. We’re on the same page about disaster recovery!
as long as there is at least one other backup that isn’t with this provider.
Which is exactly what I was saying.
Any services used with a cloud provider should be treated as 1 entity, no matter how many geo-locations they claim your data is backed up to because they are a single point from which all those can be deleted.
When I was last involved in a companies backups, we had a fire safe in the basement, we had an off-site location with another fire safe & third copies would go off to another company that provided a backup storage solution so for all backups to be deleted, someone had to go right out of their way to do so. Not just a simple deletion of our account & all backups are wiped.
That company had the foresight to do something similar & it’s saved them. [edited - was on the tube when I wrote this and didnt see the autocorrect had put ‘comment’, not ‘company’]
It may have been more devastating if they relied exclusively on google for backups.
Which is why having any data, despite the number of backups, on a cloud provider shouldn’t be seen as off-site.
Only when it is truly outside their ecosphere and cannot be touched by them should it be viewed as such.
If that company didn’t have such resilience built into their backup plan, they would be toast with a derisory amount of compensation from Google.
Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in “what is skibidi toilet” into Google,
More of a Simple Simon Says… really
We have the mandatory security training at my company and they said it was going to be revised after a few of us showed how the advice it gave was insecure and incorrect!
The main programmer got the job because of nepotism as well!

There were tools that people made that would find if the people you followed/followed you were on Mastodon and added them so the migration wasn’t quite as painful as some here have described.
S’all good! I was reading about it yesterday and was surprised that they already had the court cases
One of them was already jailed back in 2021 and the others were awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty

Not been original thought in the guys head.
He stole the idea for Facebook and people think these tech bros are all about innovation!
It’s the antithesis of all the gung-ho apocalyptic films that has all the alpha males wanking off about they would survive & become a leader.
I watched it when it was broadcast & the conversation at school for weeks after was how no-one of us wanted to survive the blast because of how fucking horrific and what a curse it would be!
It gave me a chuckle that they slotted that into the article!
IMDB even has a listing for “woman who urinates herself” when the bomb drops.
I always remember the last scenes when the main protagonists daughter tries to wake her “RUTH! RUTH!”.
I’ve got it downloaded but haven’t watched it since the 80s as it’s part of my childhood trauma so might take a bit of unpacking!
You can click that to clear it but you no longer get the threads or replies, just the initial tweet.

The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!
(Doesn’t sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)
