why deliberately pick such an untrue and inflamatory reason?

Yeah, that part really pisses me off. If they would have banned me for insulting /u/Spez or for a critical comment, I'd be mad but I'd wear it like a badge of honour. This is just the lowest of the low...

I obviously did no such thing. I'm pretty sure I didn't upload or comment anything sexual at all, let alone something involving minors. Wouldn't that warrant a permanent ban anyway, instead of 3 days?

Of course I appealed, because I would like to know exactly which comment violated their rules, but I'm not really expecting a reply.

I do find it highly suspicious that the ban came 1 hour after I made a critical comment on ModCoord... (screenshot attached)

A lot of us older Millennials still grew up playing these games as they came out.

Of course. Especially the ones that came after Doom I guess. I listened to a lot of older music at the time too (like 80s new wave or 70s hard rock and punk), but that doesn't make it "GenX" music.

But you're right, they are thoroughly a product of '90s Gen-X culture.

Yeah, Doom, Quake, Duke et al are like '90s GenX culture personified for me. Millennials' era (and this is sort of in the name) is ca. 2000 and afterwards, and gaming had already shifted to something else by quite a bit by then.

Millennials? No way. The oldest millennials were 11 when Doom came out.

It is most definitely a Gen X game. It has all the hallmarks of mid 90s GenX culture: unapologetically rebellious, anti-establishment, edgy and violent. The developers are also all oldish GenX-ers (Adrian Carmack, John Carmack, John Romero, Dave Taylor) or young Boomers (Sandy Petersen and Tom Hall)

You are confused. What you are describing applies to transferring copyright, not for granting a license while retaining the copyright.

If things worked the way you described, free software, for example licensed through the GPL, couldn't exist because then the authors could always take away the users' rights by retroactively revoking their license. Fortunately, it doesn't work that way.

You don't waive your copyright. You grant a license to reddit to use your content.

No, under the GDPR you don't have the right to have your content removed. You have the right to have personally identifiable data removed, things like names, IP addresses, phone numbers, ...

I'll link to the EU website that explains what they mean with personal data below, but I don't think a logo qualifies under their definition.

Unfortunately that has no chance of succeeding. When you sign up to reddit, you give them a license to use the content you submit. It's in the user agreement, section 5 "Your Content": https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement

jellyfin

How good is the performance of that on a rpi4? Does it work for transcoding videos?

He's just a bit chubbier. He got packaged as a flatpak.

I unsubbed from most of the default reddit subs and from the subs where the mods didn't seem to care about the protest.

For the future, I intend to limit my engagement to a few subreddits related to the war in Ukraine, because that's something I follow closely and care about a lot. The communities on lemmy/kbin just aren't active enough yet to stay up to date.
