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.

DNS is the phonebook of the internet and other networks.

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.

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.

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.
