I was under the impression it wasn’t even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though

On Lemmy you can’t exchange email addresses though… else you’d be exposing the addresses publicly and that’s also rife for spam
Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.
Yes, it simply represents the leverage Israel holds over the US.
So what’s the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I’ve only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.
Is an Umbrella really a souvenir, rather than just a necessity they end up buying because it’s pissing it down with rain here in the UK?
This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they’ll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.
UK’s got S, M and the Underground roundel. I think it’s interesting that those three different common terms, subway, metro and underground, used globally, all originate from the London Underground in different ways.
Usually they’re building the website with browserlist and polyfills, and they specify how old a browser they wish to support, usually by analysing percentages of public usage, or they allow types only supported in newer browsers. Meaning if they use a feature only available in newer browsers, then it won’t be automatically backported to support older browsers.
But that’s only if they actually use those features, they’re just available to them. And it’ll only break in those places they do use them, which could be quite little of the site.
So often it’s just “we can’t guarantee it’ll work in your old browser and enough of our users use newer browsers that we’ll block you and not care”.
I have ad blockers everywhere, except native mobile apps. I’ve clicked on an Instagram ad for shirts. I bought the shirts. People keep complimenting me on the shirts. No regrets there
Much like the words “fake steak” or “not really steak” wouldn’t confuse me into thinking it was really real steak, just because the word “steak” is in there, “vegan steak” doesn’t either, because I’m not incredibly stupid
Raise prices at peak times? ✅💰
Lower prices ever? ❌📈
Properly done dynamic pricing rewards customers with cheap prices for going at off-peak times, and the opposite on-peak. However this other form of “surge pricing” is really just price gouging under another label
I have a basic £30 (£50 post inflation) pop-up frisbee tent and it works just fine on its own in heavy rain. Water only gets in when the door is open. It really just needs to be double layered, taut and have a decent groundsheet, but that can all come built-in without needing to be expensive
When I was a kid and had nightmares often, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of fear. I had to make sure I would stay awake just long enough that I wouldn’t go back into the same nightmare again when I went back to sleep. It wasn’t just possible, it was common
What are those crazy power sockets with so many pins and two different types right next to each other?!
One of my problems is that I often do get work done, just the wrong work. I can’t bring myself to do the work I’m supposed to be doing, and end up doing doing something I wasn’t supposed to do, but at least it’s still work I guess
I’ve seen many pretty small waterfalls though, how do you count this‽
That’s a bit misleading to say like that. Go to the website, scroll to the footer and click on “Legal”. Your instance, feddit.de, has a legal notice, with a privacy contact person, mentioning you can request data erasure, and detailing where your data goes. Mine, lemmy.world, has a number of in depth legal documents attached there.
However, yes, other instances they are federated with might not take it as seriously though, and if all your data is going there too, then that’s a hole in your data privacy.
I always see comments like these online, but they seem kind of absurd to me, coming from a country where it’s not only totally common to walk dogs off-leash, but completely legal. There’s really very few incidents of dogs darting into the streets here, and actually half the ones I’ve ever seen have been dogs on a lead anyway. A well trained dog doesn’t do that.
