My Google and Microsoft accounts are the only ones I ever get random spam on, tbh. I’ve never had any amount of unasked for mail with a paid provider or ISP’s email.

It used to be common.

I always use randomly-generated user names. I try to avoid strings of random numbers and letters, but coming up with reasonably nice-looking random names is time-consuming, and some people might not care that much.

They’re both good.

You don’t even need to show an ID in my previous state. You just tell the person at the door what street you live on.

Same. I don’t want interaction on Mastodon. I’m not looking for a discussion there, I just want to curate a feed that I find interesting to view and occasionally vent about things without the pressure of social interaction.

I like PodAura. It doesn’t have as many features as AntennaPod, including discovery, but it has the ones that are useful to me, and I like the layout.

In my experience, regular police or sheriffs’ deputies can still see details of “expunged” court cases in their system.

Beautiful cat.

There may have been a relative increase in the numbers of creators on YT after monetization was introduced, but it wasn’t on a scale that one person could perceive. Even before monetization, there was more content, of every type and subject, than one person could possibly ever watch. Videos starting to look slick and professional was the most visible result, but I don’t feel that this corresponded to an increase in quality. Professional Youtubers post constantly, even when they have nothing to say, to stay visible. Because Peertube’s space and bandwidth are paid for by server owners, who are mostly average individuals, I think it would be bad for them to attract that type of creator.

YT became popular before monatization existed. It was a hobby and a form of socialization for many people. I’d rather see Peertube be that than what YT has become. Monatization is what ruined it, imo.

Wow, that’s so sad. I loved Pycharm.

Who is there for progressives to vote for that will represent their views? People whose interests aren’t represented by any candidate not voting for any candidate is entirely predictable.

To me, this suggests that if you’re diagnosed with autism, they’ll scrutinize your lab, pharmacy & smart watch records.

It’s very interesting to me how citizens of many countries under rule of an oppressive dictator are seen as victims who need help, but Russian and American citizens are seen as evil and deserving their oppression.

I’m so relieved they were sent back instead of being killed or imprisoned with the men.

I don’t think we’ve had enough women running in presidential elections to draw that conclusion. Sexism isn’t stopping women from winning congressional or mayoral seats. I suspect the women we’ve seen lose the presidential race have lost for the same reasons so many men have.

Ashamed to see my former home here. And it needs all those programs.

I think there’s also We are women on lemmy.ml and Women on lemmy.world?
