I don’t see what the big deal is. I store all kinds of sensitive information in plain text. SSNs, credit card numbers, birthdates and religious and political affiliation information.

The guy I bought it all from said it was okay, he stores it in plain text, too. (I’m joking, of course! Any information about you all that I’ve bought on the dark web, I’m storing responsibly.)

That wouldn’t be an issue if you’d fulfilled your duty as a parent and educated her on the classics.

You have a point, actually.

As someone else said, Pixel for Pixel analysis is probably too much compute time for them to bother. But they can do a quick checksum on the file, and they probably do.

Whether the image seriously affects your online fingerprint is mostly about whether a lot of users or only a few users use that exact profile picture.

If they few users have that exact profile picture, then it’s likely that they have a behavior tracking data set assigned to it, in case it’s valuable later.

It’s not that someone is sitting in a room correlating and judging your choice of picture. It’s just that every aspect of your web browsing that can be cheaply tracked and correlated is tracked and correlated.

An image that too many people use is likely also correlated, but won’t be heavily weighted in deciding that traffic is yours, because the error rate is too high.

That’s why I always set my profile image to “Mickey Mouse” while I listen to music by The Beatles. It makes me invisible. Also I just really like Mickey Mouse.

Just because it might be NSFW in your work environment/region, does not mean it is everywhere.

Yeah. It’s not a question of right or wrong, it’s a question of whether a moderator (or community) is willing to put into the extra effort to allow folks in sensitive reading environments (or sensitive readers, I suppose) to participate.

I am constantly, personally, under the impression that there are no Anime communities on Lemmy, even though I frequently read “new/all”.

I genuinely think there aren’t very many. That’s true right? I haven’t blocked like 700 of them already? I don’t give much thought to blocking an unmoderated community, so it could be.

(Sarcasm) Which is tragic for those communities, because my Anime hot takes are on fleek.(/sarcasm)

As a huge Anime fan, with some catching up to do, I’ve blocked every anime adjacent community, because NSFW filtering isn’t applied as strictly as I would prefer, on the Anime communities here.

I enjoy a good sexually charged image as much as the next person, perhaps more.

But I scroll Lemmy in front of my impressionable daughter sometimes.

I would like to catch up on Anime recommendations, here.

But, to me, it’s just not worth the risk of suddenly needing to explain to my daughter why Faye Valentine’s parents didn’t love her enough to buy her full sets of clothing.

Yeah. “Used to be”. Let’s go with that. Less paperwork.

I can hear the worried concern in that DM “…no…?”

“Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.”

Well that’s a relief. For a minute there, I was worried.

Not long at all.

Luckily I already wear t-shirts that advertise the weird kinks that I’m into. Otherwise this would make me really uncomfortable.

Rekt is a stunt game in the spirit of Tony Hawks Pro Skater.

The controls are fantastic. The levels are interesting. Various unlockable cars are fun. The gameplay loop is satisfying.

It was a fair deal back when it was $15.00. At $1.50 it’s an absolute steal.

Overcooked 2 has one of those perfect gaming moments: the balloon crashes into a another restaurant, and instead of a cutscene, we just start getting orders off a different menu. It really sets the tone for the game.

Fury Unleashed is charming as hell, but it’s the buttery smooth controls that make it so replayable.

As an old-school platform and bullet hell player, I don’t play many modern platform or bullet hell games, because I’ve been spoiled by tight controls from the 8-bit era, and so many modern games don’t match the responsiveness.

But I found Fury Unleashed incredibly accessible, mostly because the controls are so responsive.

The assholes pushing this crap sure are lucky they outnumber us…(\sarcasm)

I don’t have an answer. This issue is why I left Proton mail. I’m waiting for a built in (or reasonably automatic) solution before migrating my email back to Proton.

Thank you for asking here. I’ll be reading along in case someone has something that’s not too burdensome.

Synology Drive does what you want, if you bought a Synology NAS. Look for the Synology Drive or DS Drive app for each of your operating systems.

Whatever you’re using, I find it helpful so to setup Samba shares, since most operating systems can talk to it.

Some command line utilities that you may wish to schedule, if not using a sync app:

• I’ve heard great things about KDE Connect, which supports a bunch of platforms.

• On Windows: robocopy.exe

• On Linux: rsync

• On Mac: rsync

• On Android: I don’t have a non-Synology favorite, right now. KDE Connect looks promising.

• On iPhone: I’ve heard of these “eyes” phones. People seem to like them…

Edit: I see you have Syncthing. Disregard the above.

For NAS to NAS backups, I do prefer RSync.

Mini Motor Racing might be a good match. It has some DLC available (additional cars), but none of it is necessary to enjoy the game.

MineTest is an open source game engine that allows running various open source Minecraft clones.

Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.

We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.

We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.

Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol

Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.

I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.

As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.

I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.
