@aphyr i am sad you are in birdsite gaol but also i am glad you are here. here is some janky code i hacked together recently that does useful things with toots: https://github.com/sneak/feta

@sneak This README isn't really a good look IMO.

@aphyr @sneak "We do not have a right to be forgotten"

EU law would disagree

@velartrill @aphyr EU law is frequently wrong, as in this instance

@sneak @velartrill @aphyr by very definition how can law ever be “wrong”? immoral/unethical/detrimental to society/etc sure but not what you wrote

@videomurder @velartrill @aphyr you can’t have a right to be forgotten as you don’t have the right to delete data from the drives of others

@sneak @velartrill @aphyr sounds like the logic of card dump sellers, stolen identity brokers, spies, stalkers, etc. an informational “might makes right” ideology, basically

@videomurder @velartrill @aphyr or search engines. there is a big difference between secret data and published data.
