@emilygorcenski people seem to be trying to remove the technical answers with these GDPR requests. That will not work.
It actually benefits Stackoverflow because they won't have to track attribution for those answers.
It's abuse in as far as GDPR was never meant to apply to technical content, only personally identifiable data.

@emilygorcenski yes, which is not technical reply data. So actually trying to abuse GDPR for this purpose will mean it removes any attribution to the original technical answer. This means the technical answer remains and there would not even need to be attribution.
That rather makes it *more likely* that the technical answer is used for AI, not less likely.

@emilygorcenski GDPR doesn't apply to technical answers.

@ben you gave them information for free. You don't own it, they do. That was the working relationship.

Imagine if you were working for a company producing work and you suddenly tried to sabotage that work. That's what you were trying to do, sabotage it. They would be perfectly within their rights to restrict your access.

The moral of this story is, if you want to retain ownership then don't give it away (for free) to someone else.

@bananarama @atatassault @intransitivelie @jlsigman @ben that is transformative which is in the agreement

@bananarama @atatassault @intransitivelie @jlsigman @ben and how do you know there won't be attribution? You're just assuming that.

@bananarama @atatassault @intransitivelie @jlsigman @ben you're the one claiming there isn't attribution...

In this episode of #Commodore64 games memories I look at SWIV. The disk loader, attract sequence, title screen, game scroll, and speed testing the multiplexor sort code while comparing it with Terra Cresta.

@thomasfuchs @mos_8502 has to be done.

#Commodore64 game Stormlord has some old PD Systems download software hidden in memory. Probably left over from the final developer build being sent to the machine. This video resurrects that old code and gets it running again.
