On the other side of self hosted data & services 馃槀 reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa 路 2023-11-14 21:52 I'm confused how anonymized data is personal to an individual ?? Clearly Google can't be serious with a statement like this, or am I missing some logic here? Also, more importantly, is there an appetite for self hosting mobile games ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy 路 2023-11-14 22:00 Anonymized doesnt mean anonymous, as weird as it sounds. What they mean is that they can identify you as user number 6486475294. But they dont assign your email, phonenumber etc to that number. So they claim. However with enough "anonymized" data it can usually still be determined who that user is, just a bit more effort involved. What exactly is the point of this? > Also, more importantly, is there an appetite for self hosting mobile games ? How would that work? Host a game as a webapp and play it in a browser? Performance for many games probably isnt great like that. Or do you mean selfhosting a gameserver for mobile clients? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tankerkiller125real 路 2023-11-15 03:09 And by a bit more effort, it basically means you buy data from some other data broker, spend 10 minutes to correlate the data, and bam they now know everything about you including you name, address, email, favorite topics, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy 路 2023-11-15 05:08 Dont tell OP or they wont be able to sleep right for a week. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NotSwissISwear 路 2023-11-15 05:46 So it's not anonymized, it's pseudonymized ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa 路 2023-11-15 06:39 It would be nice to have full transparency on this element from Google , perhaps publish the data that's being shared between said apps , a weekly downloadable report would be fine to start to understand just what is being generated that needs to be anonymized, pseudonymized. Or do you think that once a user sees that information they would then question the need to continue to use apps which collect such personalized info in the first place... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hdddanbrown 路 2023-11-15 11:33 You are replying to your own post genius. And are you seriously now wondering "oh i wish Google would be more transparent with their data collection"?! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa 路 2023-11-15 12:09 What's wrong with replying to my own post ? Did I skip that in the rules section or are you just looking to point out the obvious? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hdddanbrown 路 2023-11-16 09:46 The point is that those other users who already commented on your post will not get notified about your comment. If you expect actual discussions, put in the effort and reply to the comments of other users, they get notified and reply back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa 路 2023-11-16 10:35 And this is your contribution to this discussion? Being condescending towards people when they make a mistake ? I get your point about reply notifications, but maybe you should address people a bit less condescending ---------------------------------------------------------------------- burntoc 路 2023-11-16 15:05 I'd just block him/her. Post history suggests you're not going to miss anything of value there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hdddanbrown 路 2023-11-17 11:51 Maybe its not my duty to explain reddit to you? You have been here four years already. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa 路 2023-11-17 12:44 Maybe you should just let it go , I have. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kmisterk 路 2023-11-17 18:08 ## Post Removed Hey, therealSoasa!
