The personal data of millions of Turkish citizens, including their addresses, phone numbers and property ownership information, has been exposed on an internet website, Deutsche Welle Turkish service reported on Friday, raising serious concerns about data security.

This is what I would do, unless your friend is already fediverse knowledgeable. If you have knowledge about what subreddit they enjoyed the most you can use the community browser to find what instance has the largest similar community and show them that. https://browse.feddit.de

I mean the middle bottom one could be considered an animal… a deceased one but still.

Reminds me of the "Polaroid Story"

The company that owns the Polaroid brand and IP, PLR IP Holdings, LLC, was just sold by an ownership group led by the Pohlad family to an ownership group led by the Smolokowski family. The Pohlad family, which owns the Minnesota Twins baseball team, purchased its majority stake in Polaroid back in December 2014 for $70 million.

Although its iconic instant film and cameras may be out of production now, Polaroid the brand is still alive and well: through licensing agreements, a huge range of Polaroid products are still being sold in over 100,000 retail stores in over 100 countries around the world.

It makes sense from their perspective but still kinda shitty.

undefined> d of /r/Tumblr has already been forcibly demodded. A bit weird that Tumblr of all places has been the starting point.

The real question I think is will Reddit retaliate back and forcibly recover communities and install new mods?

I know Beehaw is planning to update to the latest version early Tuesday morning and plan to be down at least between 7-7:30am. (I Just Saw This In a Pinned Post on the Beehaw meta community)

Have we explored the possibility of "porting" the larger communities to other instances? It seems that many of us simply wish to subscribe to the largest (insert type of community here) and can do so from various home instances. Might lower demand on this specific instance at the very least.

I am totally for more cycling… but imo from a policy perspective in most cities we just need more public transit and maybe some more bike lanes in areas they could help.

As someone who once HAD to commute for a 45 minute car ride to work... not all commutes work with this. Public transit can help with a lot of those, but unless we rezone and rebuild most cites for shorter commutes, it won't replace all cars.

undefined> esda games are best left alone until the modders get a solid crack at it to shore up bugs and add features that probably should’ve been in the base game. Give that shit at least half a year imo

I definitely love the mods that the community makes for Bethesda games, but I have also enjoyed many of their games without them... I will often do a vanilla play through prior to doing any mods.

IDK about a year for me personally, as when it doesn’t massively disappoint when it comes out I will likely get it as soon as I have anything resembling a free day. Nothing like cracking into a new game after you know it won’t disappoint and you have post of time to loose yourself.

I think they were meaning like changing Lemmy instances, not services other than Lemmy.
