Most likely. That’s if people knew about. You could do it secretly.
Though I wonder if you were open about it, if people would accept it. Just say “hey, this instance doesn’t ask for donations, but we track and sell your info.” Maybe some users would be okay with that.
There’s nothing to prevent someone from spinning up a lemmy or mastodon instance and tracking users either.
Oh it’s great news either way. I’d just be curious about the numbers.
Yeah I’m wondering for how many weeks.
And then how many millions of ms office users there are? (Or billions…)
This is one way to deal with conflict of interests not being addressed. Too badly it can’t work for everything else. Like I can’t “boycott” space travel.
Right, you’d think they would provide vin numbers, which the government would then check against vehicle registrations with whatever DMV equivalent.
We call them “TPS reports” buddy. slaps back
Are they seriously relaunching digg??? lol that’s funny. They relaunched my space and a bunch of zoomers showed up iirc. Maybe what’s old is new again. Next they should do geocities.
Yeah even before those websites existed, they were collecting all kinds of files on people. Like late 80s, early 90s. Warehouses full of paper records.
Minecraft on ps3 was so annoying compared to pc.

They can’t possibly be that stupid. I’m sure they have more sinister plans for these geneology databases. My first guess would be blackmail. But I’m guessing they have a ton of other evil ideas.
Hasn’t he already had like a dozen “female incubators”?
This guy can’t be bothered to wear a condom or pull out before he jizzes his vile seed into whatever human dna compatible life form chooses to allow his penis entry?
There was a website posted on Lemmy a few days ago that showed up in my all feed, where you could look up where protests were planned. I imagine platforms like X instantly remove links to it. So it’s probably difficult to get the word out.
I used to know a girl who was DTF.
It authenticates with a yubikey.
They’re also giving us eggs. Hmm
I can’t run git operations on the server.
I’ve been considering rsync
I need to run git operations from a laptop (on a vpn) but I can’t build from the laptop, I can only build from a host that is only accessible on the vpn.
So I can only git pull / git push from the laptop, but I can only build / run / test from a remote host.
Linux on both sides. What’s the best solution here?
Remote instances won’t have your IP or email, and other usage trend data. So that info could only be obtained by this hypothetical tracking instance. As for any remote content on other instances, that can just be scraped by anyone. You wouldn’t even need an account or instance to get that data.
