@albin @alcinnz Indeed! Enforcement is always key. I think we'll have to wait and see what happens when somebody challenges a supervisory authority in court to get public confirmation on how Art 25 is being enforced in the real world. That could take a while :(

@aral NaN !== NaN is specified behaviour for IEEE floating point numbers, though, so that one's not JS' fault

@clacke @aral btw if you want to have some fun with NaN and Inf, this is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TFDG-y-EHs

@kaniini GDPR, if you're in the EU/EEA, would also help here.

@DashEquals @kaniini What is the legal basis under which you are processing the personal data?

@DashEquals @kaniini Then I suggest you read Article 4(1) and (2) of the GDPR and re-think what you just said.

@DashEquals @kaniini Okay then. Since you said "we", does that mean you are part of the ArchiveTeam?And if so, have they ever discussed data protection with you?

@kaniini @DashEquals BIG :oof:, indeed.Also not that I did not ask if they had discussed the GDPR, I asked if they had discussed data protection. Like, at all.

@fribbledom Giphy is integrated in to a bunch of other services - I suspect FB bought Giphy not for the gifs but for the corporate surveillance opportunity.

@codesections Surely Hofstadter's law always applies:"It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law."

@cwebber I'm shocked that the eugenicist hates equality and non-white people![He was emphatically not shocked - ed.]

Does anyone have an estimate on the number of #UK users on the #Fediverse?By my (hastily-conducted and not at all comprehensive) research there are about 26K "active users" (as reported by the instances' about pages) reported across a dozen or so UK-focused Mastodon instances, but obviously there will be folks on instances that aren't geographically-focused (and a long tail of single-user instances)

@daniel I'm still holding out hope that MIMI can get some adoption.Matrix, Wire and Google are involved in the protocol design/standardisation effort so... 🤞.https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/mimi/about/

Ugh, looks like an SSD failure on my home server 😩.I thought it was just filesystem corruption, so I reformatted, reinstalled the OS and restored a (hastily-made) backup last night but no... more errors today 😢.Time to buy a new drive (and maybe some nice new ECC sticks of RAM while I'm at it)

@mischievoustomato Thankfully other than Home Assistant there isn't anything massively valuable on there - more important stuff is on separate redundant drives - but it is *really* annoying to deal with.
