I guess it depends on the specifics of what you are worried about. I have a catchall set up for a domain I own, and so I can make up an email on the spot. I've never had trouble getting those accepted. But for random internet stuff I tend to use either Firefix Relay or Simple Login. I use these most of the time and don't normally have issues, but if I do then I use my own domain. I think these relay email services (which are not temp/disposable emails btw) let you set up with your own domain too.

Reminds me of how any app in Android can see all the other installed apps. Great for fingerprinting.

So this morning I had to go to my mother's house for IT support as one of her monitors wasn't working. I plugged the power cable back in to the back of the monitor and the problem was solved. I'm not sure the level of IT support I provide is high enough to get blamed for anything 😆

I just generally try to avoid letting people know how technically savvy I am. I'd rather not do basic tech support for everyone I know.

Nano say so at bottom but so does vim if it thinks you’re trying to exit.

Just one team working on Teams, and they are doing their best to make it worse. I for one encourage them, it apparently needs to be even worse before my work will consider changing

Yeah that’s a fair point. I don’t think Dropbox does ads but the others I mentioned and the ones you mentioned all show/play ads for the free tier. I guess OpenAI will be pretty keen to get ads into their free tier too, once they run out of investors’ money.

Thanks for the numbers, you were saying the subscriber percentage was embarrassing so I was curious about that rather than their fairly infamous losses. You’ve said OpenAI have about half the subscriber percentage of Dropbox, but if Dropbox is that profitable then that seems like they are doing particularly well and perhaps that subscriber percent is above average?

What’s a normal amount? What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers? Having a little over 1% doesn’t seem that bad, I am faar more surprised that over 1% of users pay for ChatGPT.

As someone with a public facing website, there are significant volumes of scraping still happening. But largely this appears to come out of South East Asia and South America and they take steps to hide who they are so it’s not clear who is doing it or why, but like you say it doesn’t appear to be OpenAI, Google, etc. It doesn’t appear to be web search indexing, the scraping is aggressive and the volume will bring down a Lemmy server no matter how powerful the hardware.

Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?

Haha yip that’s the top album for me, this checks out.

I just took the info from the article, what is wrong about it?

In case people are wondering, from left to right in the bottom image: Andy Warhol Mark Zuckerberg Elon Musk Pablo Picasso Beeple, real name Mike Winkelmann (the artist who made them) There is also a Jeff Bezos one not in that image but seen in the other images.
