The point came across about the respect for band.
That and speech.
Intimidation was for my protection I suppose.
I donāt know the secret here, use pumpkin spice or old spice for power? Sometimes this is less disgusting to me.
I donāt know too much about āreedā instruments other than the harmonica which I can play without any music sheets or reading notes. But clearly this āI will bend like a reed in the windā quote is not about facing an oak tree in a storm.
The desert and those hidden blades remind me of this 1987 sci fi/action
Hereās what Iām referring to.
Almost as wicked as Prince Nuada.
I read the first Dune book and thought it was great.
Was that the one with The Lorax or Star-Bellied Sneetch?
I watched a movie today. Actually it was a documentary, not really a movie. It has me seriously thinking about deleting all my social media. Just so people know, BBAD harvests no data about anyone, not that it would matter much with the tiny handful of people that come here. Still, we donāt. I have no idea what you look at or what you do here beyond what you post publicly or message directly to me.
lol
so all information that is typed here including private messages, time and date that people visit and for how long and from which ip addresses is not stored and available to you? and you wont give that to every government if they requests it? or to anyone if they pay you enough?
As usual, Nico, you pretend to understand tech but you donāt. Youāre a technoposeur. Harvesting data has very specific meaning in the context of privacy law, and I donāt do it. That said, despite your technoincompetence, I will be specific:
I have no ability to read private messages here. They are stored in an encrypted database with a hash key that isnāt available to me. I am quite skilled and could possibly hack that system but I have never made any attempt to do that and my success would not be certain. The Discourse software I use does not make anyone elseās private messages available to me. When people log in and from what IP address are certainly both recorded. Public posts are obviously recorded. Likes are recorded and are publicly viewable by anyone (including who clicked like). Time spent on the site is not recorded but could be calculated if people log out. If you just close your browser without logging out, time spent on the site would not be accurately derivable.
What isnāt stored?
- Time spent reading posts or looking at photos.
- AI analysis of the type of posts you read or photos your spend time looking at.
- AI analysis of what posts/photos you react to.
- AI analysis of your political leanings.
- AI analysis of your likely demographic categories.
- AI intervention and tailoring of your viewing experience designed to alter your behaviour.
- AI based alteration of the site experience between users for any purpose.
That is what personal data harvesting refers to, and I donāt do it. Now go back to your Dutch hole and quit trying to impress people with your nonexistent technical knowledge. Irritating technodweeb poseur.
lol so basically because you choose to interpret data harvesting differently you pretend you are not harvesting data and you choose to avoid answering whether you would sell that infoā¦ gotcha;)
I donāt think anyone believes you are harvesting our data or anything else. Well, okay, maybe thinki does but that may be because he has important behavior-altering data that needs harvesting.
lol as reg kindly explained, it all depends on your definition of harvesting data
Yes, but he said he didnāt do that. It obviously bothers him and Iām sure he doesnāt want his reputation tarnished by being lumped in with a bunch of real-time data harvesters.
if your definition for harvesting data is collecting and storing information on your server then he is doing exactly that
yes i can understand why one wouldnt want to be lumped in with scumbags like that lol
i suspect its more a matter of how dare i ask such questions to the almighty expert? and his annoyance might be mostly because he doesnt have the number of users to make data harvesting profitable for him? but thats something only he can answer lol
Every site we go to collects and stores our information. Does that mean every site is harvesting our data?
Maybe heās annoyed that you keep insisting heās doing something that heās not?

yes exactly, every site is harvesting data
i didnt insist on anything, i asked a few questions
How much do you think Marks data is worth? Or anyone here including you? Maybe to a psychiatric research agency.
lol depends if you could find a couple hundred thousands of us
