Yes and no, it is your instance’s backend that is responsible for this behavior. Once your instance is up-to-date, you should not see these old results any more. No need to wait for all other servers 😉

Great idea, but the money they have is barely enough to make a dent in the development scope they are aiming for.

Sure, but that isn’t how it works under GDPR. You don’t need to prove the information should be deleted, you need to prove the information must be kept. To give an example, the company I work for deals with long-lived contracts (often 20 years or more), and once they end we are legally allowed to keep the information for about 5 more years. After that we need to remove it.

Something like this might have to be done to comply to GDPR. I’m not sure about the details, but I do know a company cannot keep personal information for longer than they need. At some point, I guess that would probably translate to removing old and unused accounts.

FYI, this is an attempt at humour, clearly “/s” is needed on lemmy as much as it was on reddit 😅

What would be the probability of u/spez being behind this attack, in an attempt to sabotage lemmy?

My pleasure! And unless the rules are different where you live, you don’t need to see a doctor or get a prescription. Here (Belgium) you can easily get them from pharmacies or online.

Welcome to the club of lactose intolerance! If, like me, you really like dairy, there is a very easy way to cheat the system… (Seriously, how would anyone survive without cheese?)

You can get lactase tablets. Those are little pills full of lactase, which is the protein that breaks down lactose into digestible simple sugars. All you have to do is take a lactase tablet when you eat anything with lactose, and you can continue to live your life like before.

Lactose intolerance is not black and white either. You may have some tolerance left, which may be enough to eat your cereal with milk, if that is the inly lactose you have during the day. Your tolerance can also fluctuate over time. For example, the first time I had an issue with lactose it only lasted a few weeks.

Same! As an introvert it is not easy though.
