If that were true in general, wikipedia would not bother blocking IPs.

IP address is often enough to link data to a profile for data brokers. And Lemmy has so much valuable data, not only in posts or comments, but upvotes and downvotes etc. This could be someone making bank of selling data.

[Though other people investigating the url seem to be pretty sure the images don’t have a per user url, so this theory probably doesn’t hold]

I’ve recieved about 8 messages over the past few months.

I had to leave about a year ago because of this.

As a native french speaker, that sounds so weird!

It’s like saying “good girl” or something, definitely not something you hear much in the younger generation.

Nope Nope Nope. I do not want the government having that data. Knowing our governments, they will contract this to third parties who will almost certainly sell that data.

I also do not want elected politicians having the power to shape relationships and sexuality of the population to that degree. Too much centralised power.

This is why I think if we’re going to excute people it should be by firing squad. Death is nearly instant for the person affected, but it shows quite well the barbarism and cruelty of the act to witnesses and executioners.

Back and forth metamovements from land to sea are more common than you’d think, evolutionarily.

See Sea Turtles, for example.

Evolved from a common ancestor that was in the ocean (pre-amniotes) evolved into reptiles on land, then decided to go back in the water.

I was very excited to see this until I saw it was on ML, and instance which I have voluntarily blocked due to moderators banning people for not self censoring according to CCP propaganda.

Yep. Very few people would waste all their money and tear up their vagina and lose all their sleep for three years, and free time for atleast a decade, on purpose. We have an evolutionary drive to.

Privacy is not only anonymity.

It also includes things like security and built in surveillance capitalism tools.

Well quatre-vignt-dix is literally translated to “four twenty ten” (why not just nine ten? because historically french evolved with a base 20 counting system).

But when a french person hears that, they don’t hear those numbers, to them it just means ninety.

Just like an english person won’t hear. “four-ty”, and think “four-ten” “oh that’s 40”. Because “fourty” was originally “four-ten” (written differently because old english so I rewrote in modern for simplicity) and got shortened down.

To them “fourty” is just a word that means 40. Just like to metropolitan french people “ quatre-vignt-dix” is just a word that means 90.

!main@lemmy.blahaj.zone probably best for blahaj

What’s the reason they give mastodon the privacy badge, but don’t give it to lemmy or signal?

… and that your children survive to reproduce

Otherwise we’d have no incentive to care for our kids.

Signal is honestly the best solution for a lot of people. It’s a non-profit and is Open Source. It perfectly resembles whatsapp, already has a large userbase, and is easy to use.

I get XMPP might be more perfect since it’s decentralised (though it comes with drawbacks too like Encryption not being there by default), but I urge anyone reading this, do not let perfect be the enemy of good.

Switching from whatsapp to signal is already amazing for your privacy and ethics. Remember that switching messengers not only means you have to switch yourself, but also convince your friends and family to switch. It’ll be an uphill battle, so don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

For those wondering the same but for ios, the “Unwatched” app is my holy grail.

Kind of funny the link you’re sharing is msn (microsoft owned)

Banger instance btw

hahhaahh.
