Article 3 GDPR is straightforward, gdpr will apply.
The real question is how any kind of authority could enforce it ? Almost no chance that any law enforcement/regulator will bother a single-user instance purely on the ground of gdpr…
I’m not so sure about the GDPR status for the Fediverse, I don’t think there’s the law is prepared for “Jerry runs this for people, just for fun”. It’s very much “official organisation” or “money grabbing business” oriented. Someone should fund an actual lawyer to look into this and lay down the real requirements.
I’m working in the gdpr compiance field ;) Using a personnal device to monitor public space doesn’t fall under the household exception, this solution even pre-dates the GDPR (https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2014-12/cp140175en.pdf).
(the case-law is about camera fixed on a private house, but the logic easily translates in a private server grabbing public data).
but when legal compliance comes up, everybody just sticks their fingers in their ears and pretends not to hear you.
Just as you did ^^
No, Lemmy servers are not exempt from GDPR compliance. The household exemption (you are not subject to gdpr for private activities) only applies for purely personnal activities. As soon as a service is offered to someone else, the exemption is no more applicable.
That’s one of the drawback about open-source projects, they are designed to fulfill a need (persistent storage & decentralised communication for Lemmy), and no one give a f*ck about legalities.
Price is a thing, but having the option to chose is definitely good.
Now comes the real question: do you really trust the Zuck to implement a “do not share/sell anything” policy ? 'Cause yeah, if I’m paying, I’m expecting that none of my data is being sold/processed/transmitted to another company. Paying to just remove ads is … pointless.
It misses the most important information: why.
The CNIL (French privacy regulator) slapped Discord in October last year because they never deleted accounts (hi GDPR).
Since then, all tech companies are hurriedly designing a plan to mass delete inactive accounts.
As a kid, my parents bought me Space Crusade & “seigneurs de guerre” (french title, sorry, don’t know the english one) games.
Played a lot with friends.
And my local town was hosting once a year a game festival, where local clubs could display what they do.
There was this table . Small islands, a big skull island, and flotillas moving around. That was Man’o’war. I was hooked (and approx. 8 yo).
Then found White Dwarf at the local library, and fell into the Hobby.
(And several aditions of this game festival later, I also fell into RPGs).
You know that NAS can go in sleep mode, right? And wake up only when you try to activate them.
But what is the use-case? Only make your holiday films available to a media center? Or do you plan to also use it as a storage for other devices?
In the first case a sbc can do the trick (however can struggle if you share 4k). But I would definitely look into “real” NAS (Synology, qnas, etc.) before using a sbc.
Captivating narrative and in-depth combat system? Final Fantasy 7.
It’s rather the other way around, Word is not 1 to 1 compatible with LibreOffice Writer when it comes to document editing. Writer is far better on that aspect.
