This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.
I wouldn’t generally consider my IP to username to be public.
Are they talking about your IP address or the service’s? Does ActivityPub even share the user’s IP address with other nodes in the network? That’d be crazy, so I assume that it doesn’t. Then Meta can’t find out your IP address.
Just today I read that ECB could increase the interest rate again, because the inflation rate is too high in Germany. From my limited understanding of economy, cutting taxes can only raise the inflation?

I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to.

They say that Facebook spies on us and knows everything about us, but all I see on my feed is memes. I don’t like them. Here on Lemmy I block every meme community I see!
I didn’t say that I hate them. I said that I don’t like them. Let’s avoid using these words interchangeably.
The issue with these communities is that they recycle the same old material. You mostly see reposts and blatantly bad jokes. Sometimes I feel as though people feel the need to create a meme, but they don’t have any idea what it should be about. It’s like trying to write a book or song for the sake of writing one. Nothing good comes out of it without a creative idea.
When a new template becomes popular, people recreate old jokes with it, because even templates are not original anymore. There’s even a meme about this from Scooby-Doo, where the guy reveals that the monster (new template) is actually some guy they already knew (old template).
Mostly, such communities pollute the feed with unoriginal and unfunny content that doesn’t bring any value to me.
I’m so disappointed with Disney+ shows. Usually they premiere with a solid first episode that is close to 1 hour length, but then they quickly reduce them to 30 minutes during which they’re barely telling the story. As if they had material for 4 episodes, but wanted to make money from people subscribing for 2 months.
Proton Pass has a similar feature, I love it. But Spotify had banned my account and asked me to email them from the alias to unlock it, which is not possible. So you should be careful with that. A lot of companies employ anti-privacy practices.
Nah, that’s not urgent for me right now. But I logged in on the website and saw my email aliases, each had stat like 0 sent in the last 14 days - which implies that it should be possible to send one.
I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn’t checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I’m reassured that it’s a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.

You could ignore my reply, but instead you decided to attack me. I don’t know what’s your problem, but it’s between two years right in your head, so please leave me out of it.
I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.
Pixelfed, an alternative to Instagram, has matured over the years. One of its biggest, most powerful features is about to touch down - federated groups. And it will be compatible with Lemmy and Kbin.
The biggest, most significant reveal at this stage of development is that Pixelfed’s groups feature will be launching with compatibility for both Lemmy and Kbin, officially connecting Pixelfed to the rest of the “threadiverse” that the other two platforms occupy.
From my understanding, we’ll be able to see Pixelfed groups on Lemmy just like any other community and follow them. There could be a group/community, where people publish photos of cats, their art, urban photography, etc.

a) WFH has been saving them money (i.e. lowered heating, water, electricity, stationary, toilet paper, food, janitorial, window cleaning, etc.).
How? If I own a building and I can’t rent it out, I’m losing money. I still have to pay some bills and probably repay the loan that I took to build or renovate it.
b) Their WFH staff are more productive than their office staff.
Is there undeniable data proving that? I’d like to see a bunch of researches that support each other and have serious samples.
