Just by loading the image in the DM.

But to be clear. All they get at most is your IP address. That’s not worth much alone.

There is a setting that prevents sending the IP address by caching the image. lemmy.world should definitely enable that. They don’t do that right now, unfortunately.

Still the right thing

It depends on the instance configuration. If images are proxied, no traffic should show up.

They use different images.

Why do you assume the developer has to implement what could be paid for?

If 80% of your income comes from a single company that pays you to develop the features they want, can you afford to decline specific requests without risking that client? Probably not. Without income diversification, you can quickly end up in a situation where your client dictates your work.

Why is the assumption that devs will give up agency?

Because financial dependence limits choice. When a developer relies on just a few clients, those clients gain leverage over them, making it difficult to turn down requests, even if they’d prefer to.

And why the assumption that all paid requests will be by corporations?

Because private individuals rarely spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to get a feature implemented. A more realistic approach for individual users would be crowdfunding or pooling resources to fund specific features.

Then corporations will decide even more where open source projects are going. If you pay me you decide where the project is going, not me.

However, if core development is unrelated to my income, I have full control over it’s fate and don’t need to implement what’s in the interest of some shitty corporation.

When the image of “Nicole” is loaded, your computer/phone connects to another server and transfers your IP address. But it currently looks like it’s not that big of a problem. Still a fix will be implemented soon to prevent this.

This would break a lot of sites

Thanks! Completely overlooked that

Hmm do you have a link to docs for that? 🤔

But shouldn’t this depend on the receiving end? I have enabled it and it still used the direct link

Only if it’s for Client specific Extensions not the core project. Basically freelance work. Paid bug fixes and feature requests to core are a big no-go.

That’s the big question. But it looks intentional.

Apparently not https://europe.pub/comment/40270

These are phishing bots. Never interact with them.

As far as I understand do they use Bluesky’s infrastructure.

The problem isn’t the PDS but the Relays. You need terabytes of storage and and some beefy hardware to run one of these. Also there are still quite some parts centralized.

Why not use a password manager?

His IQ is definitely not 145

That’s why he needed to bribe someone into saying that he has. ;)

You are right. My bad
