Das schöne an so einem Programm? Man kann solange an den jeweiligen Metriken schrauben bis

• Man alle unliebsamen Mitarbeiter rausgeekelt hat (und ein bisschen Kollateralschaden)
• Die verbleibenden Mitarbeiter statt sinnvollen Dingen nur noch die Dinge tun, die sie in der Metrik gut da stehen lassen. Scheiß auf das, was die Firma/das Team gerade bräuchte

....so nothing really changed for them and they're still doing basically the same things? /s

Hey, when your game runs on my PC or console, I am the one paying the electricity bill for your game. Why the fuck do I have to pay for this, when I already bought the game? Isn't it enough, that we gamers invest real money and our time into your game? We want to get paid, too!

Kleiner Denkfehler in deinem Kommentar - es geht nicht darum, dass die Positionen schlecht wären, sondern dass diese für die Parteien, aus deren Programm sie stammen, heute undenkbar wären, weil "zu links".

Wenn also entsprechende ablehnende Kommentare von den Vertretern dieser Parteien zu diesen Positionen kommen, sollte man ihnen diese vertretenen Werte/Aussage um die Ohren hauen, die von denjenigen historischen Figuren ihrer Partei stammen, auf die sie sich gerne berufen.

Imagine a bug in the ALU when adding two octal values - Octoplussy

Or a bug in a specific Intel generation - Skylakefall

As far as I know, no one tried to clone TikTok for the fediverse. But I think the inherent problem is the algorithm. TikTok isn't like Youtube or any other social network, where you follow people. You have an algorithm that tracks everything you do and watch and then suggests you video based on their topics, less on the people in them. I guess it'd be hard to implement, as many in the fediverse are not keen about tracking.

Fun fact - GDPR is about European persons, not European servers. If an European citizen has a fediverse account on an American/African/Asian/… server and Meta collects all of their data and processes it, they are still in violation of GDPR. Locking European (Instagram) accounts out of Threads doesn’t make them comply magically with GDPR.

Good luck meta, have fun handling all those GDPR requests and proving that Europeans have consented that you suck up all their data…

The GDPR states, that request must be completed within a month. In case you're from Europe, you could report reddit to your local authorities if they don't respond within that time frame. A single report won't probably cause a reaction. But several reports from several individuals on the other hand...
