What exactly do they owe you?

The summary states that Reddit owes the OP a reason why the user was banned, as well as a complete, untruncated copy of the user's posting history.

Can you cite the law that says so?

The summary states that the relevant law is Article 17 of the EU's Digital Services Act.

Comment #1 rule in technology (Score 1) 148

As technology improves, the customer experience gets worse.

It's been that way for at least 15 years, probably longer. It's the weirdest damn thing to watch; we have all this power and sophistication, but development houses can't seem to get out of their own way and make a product that doesn't A) Suck balls, and B) gets worse with each iteration.

MS is the most famous example of this, but they're hardly alone in this practice.

Comment People are worried about oil crisis (Score 1) 143

Increase of EV sales is the result of people justifiably worried about the oil crisis. Due to war with Iran global oil supply is down by 20 to 25%, if not for major countries, including China, using reserves we would already have shortages. More so, Ukraine is attacking Russian oil production and Trump started trade war with Canada, so replacement for this lost production capacity is diminished.

So ya, with all that even *I* considered buying a used EV. I don't want one, but I don't want to be unable to drive if I can't buy gasoline even more.

Comment GOG is for poaching more than launching (Score 1) 49

And like I said I don't see anyone talking about GOG.

How much of that is related to GOG's reputation for being selective about what games and genres they accept? I get the impression that GOG is a bit more "curated" than some other PC game stores. The curators don't really want visual novels (a style of menu-driven adventure game). And apart from new releases by CD Projekt (which owned GOG before the end of 2025), I suspect that GOG seeks to poach "catalog" games that have already been successful on the competing store Steam as opposed to having a game at day one.

More accurate to say the bill of rights prohibits the government ( largely ) from certain actions.

Taking this a step further, who enforces "human rights" in dealing with businesses and citizens, if not the government? Who's to say that's a good thing anyway. Why can't I restrict access to me and mine from someone saying things I don't agree with? That's if you believe your "human rights" are equally and fairly applied, of course, which we all know they aren't.

No, the only sane approach to something like freedom of speech is to restrict the government and otherwise let people do as they will.

Can you even filter knowledge for something like "how to make cocaine" without filtering entire domain of knowledge? Say you provide zero knowledge in training data on how to do this, it would still have training data on chemistry and know from general news that cocaine exists. So it would likely figure out "how to" on its own when asked to.
