your bad dragon?

thank you for the detailed comment!

Interestingly someone employed in a highly-sought-after profession may be more financially stable and well-off than a struggling small company owner, even if the latter employs others.

Or to take an example from my wider family: A lady in her 70s (with a more well-off relative securing the loan) managed to buy a small flat to rent out on AirBnB. If not for this, her state pension would not be enough to cover her food and bills, and no one hires older women where she lives. (And she has no savings to speak of.) Like, she’s technically a landlord now, but even with the AirBnB income she’s barely scraping by, so I can’t really see her as bourgeois.

I recently switched to a PyLova instance (a soft fork of PieFed), and so far this seems the most user-friendly of the three :)

Most likely. Some people in the bottom right have their face on the back of their head. (Also before I noticed that I checked in TinEye, and the earliest occurrence it found was Jan 2025.) And the whole pic has that AI way of smudging together shapes.

I thought you were joking 💀

thanks :)

According to the article, it is off by default:

According to Google’s updated privacy policy, the company still promises not to use Gmail, Drive, or Google Photos content for targeted advertising by default.

However, the policy now includes an important exception. Google says that restriction no longer necessarily applies “unless you choose to make data from these services available to other Google services that support personalized ads.”

The change is connected to Google’s Personal Intelligence features, which allow services like Search and Gemini to access information from connected apps to provide more relevant recommendations.

For example, someone could give Google access to their Gmail inbox to help organize travel plans or find restaurant recommendations near a hotel reservation.

Under the updated policy, information shared for those personalized experiences could also be used to determine which advertisements appear.

What game is this from?

thanks :) need to bookmark some of these mirrors

I love that there are enough of those to be worth a separate wiki article.

I hear crypto bros swear by birdbaths xd

(I read this post 2 years ago and the “Repeat this process six more times with my six other bird baths” stuck with me xD)

I’m getting “⚠️ Inconclusive (timed out)” on Firefox 👀

true that!

I have a monthly donation going to the nonprofit running Lemmy.world as it was my server for the longest time, and it seems to work for them?

tbh the main thing I’m missing from the existing fedi platforms is just generally the population and specifically my networks - why I still regularly visit Reddit, Facebook and Discord :/

‘Steam saler, LootBox whaler’

this is a good one 🤣

Paid supporter membership? Something like, you get a snazzy badge next to your username if you send them 2 EUR a month?

in Hungarian it’s “the owl calling the sparrow ‘big-headed’” 😄

we usually shorten it to just “owl calling the sparrow” (doesn’t have the same ambiguous meaning as English)
