Final Fantasy XVI. Much more gritty than the others. Just as much angst. Still, I’m enjoying it.

From what I gather, while they track feature usage, they claim they won't track your sites. They still won't help protect your privacy from other apps, companies, and pages.

I went to a private religious school and they made a rule that there couldn’t be any PDA (public displays of affection) between opposite sexes. And they ruled that pretty well with an iron fist.
So we took that in the opposite direction, and I don’t think the administration ever saw so much guy on guy slapping of butts, “Hey bigais”, or pecks on the cheek in their lives.

Is there a new concern around another wave of COVID in the Portland area or from travelers? I haven’t seen a masks required event like this since last year. Not knocking it, just surprising to me from what I’ve seen in the last few months with the CDC removing masking requirements from their guidelines and even hospitals dropping the requirement.

Fun. It looks like they swapped out shrooms with salvia.

It more negatively affected the customer I was serving, but when I worked in food services, for all of two weeks, the credit card processing machine was sticky from someone spilling soda on it and the buttons stuck and gave an extra press or two.
So I charged a couple over $2,000.00 for two sandwiches, fries and medium drinks when trying to quickly enter in the charge and hit enter.
The manager spent ~20 minutes on a call with the payment processor and was able to reversed it and all was resolved but I panicked there for a bit.

Makes me wonder what they are getting out of it. I mean if it is just volunteer work, the job goes to shit, the company you are volunteering your time with threatens you, why not drop it and take it to another platform where you would be appreciated.
Maybe they have a good reason to cave. But I can’t see it and my naivety just makes me think they are getting kickbacks somewhere somehow.

Your ISP has assigned that IP to you. It may be temporary for anywhere from a month or so to a year. But either way that is the IP sites will see when you visit a web site or view the images OP is talking about. It can fingerprint you to a degree. And ISPs can and do keep track of who they have assigned ip addresses to.

Use a trust worthy VPN or Tor. Nothing is perfect. But one of those would help.

Is there a way where you as an admin can hide a community in your instance from the rest of the fediverse? Not saying you should in this case. Just wondering if that is an option to admins.

Regardless of company size or popularity, that is sketchy. While not perfect by any means , google play affords some security scanning and privacy awareness info on apps that are published there. Others are probably right. And I bet DJI probably wanted to skip that step to trade for ease of management. But any time you install something off a non play store repo you take on a little extra risk.

I mean if you do hit this, like I have. You can just use google's webcached view. or sometimes the internet archive.
I found this covers most of my needs: https://cachedview.com/

I don’t imagine this will happen to Trump, but really what happens if you can’t find get a lawyer to represent you. Not because you can’t afford one. But because none will take you on as a client!
The poor public defender that would get that case…

There is a lot of helpful information there. I hope that some of that can stay as search indexing on archive sites is difficult.
All that said, I just deleted my accounts I had with them. If I use it, it will be without being logged in and only the odd search for something I need.
And hopefully, improvements to platforms like Lemmy grow to where I can search for what I need there or find the best community to ask a question in a few seconds rather than 5-10 minutes. No hate, just where the platform is at right now with the influx.
And another potential title; why some might prefer Firefox or Brave. I will say, from a corporate setting, edge chromium has done better than I anticipated. They still throw out significant updates and changes like this without warning. But it has done better than its previous version.

I misread this at first and got excited thinking it meant it was coming to the nvidia shield for some reason. I guess it kind of is, in a way.
For the US, I use https://www.cigarsinternational.com/ I have only purchased myself from them once, at the recommendation of someone else, and had a decent experience. I bought a cheap $40 USD sampler pack and they shipped me a $75 pack of Gurkha Park Avenue's accidentally instead. I got a few other's that I got what I paid for in the order, but thought it troublesome if that was Looking to see what other's would recommend.

I have also found that sometimes you can browse to a remote community to get the federated subscribe option. I'm at lemmy.einval.org, but I can go to another community by browsing like this:
https://lemmy.einval.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
This doesn't always work, and seems to require performing that search you mentioned first to make it work consistently. Then it can be browsed to directly.
I hope this is improved on in the future.
Interesting UI bug while I was viewing the Death by user count post. The side bar changed to the Beehaw science community, which I had open in another tab. and it says that einval posted it to the science community, not the general community here. I didn't know einval was the mod of !science@beehaw.org? /s I suspect this relates to something in federating with other communities as I subscribed to that community through the einval server.
