That's a good reason to use open source models. If your provider does something you don't like, you can always switch to another one, or even selfhost it.

Changing things up by finding the most unattractive anime girl for my background instead.

Yeah I never really understood why they weren't craftable. It's not an overpowered item in any way, and a leather-based recipe makes perfect sense. Now if only they'd make horse armor craftable too...

You can sideload any app on Android. Of course Google does a lot to push you towards using their store instead, but it's still better than iOS where it's just impossible.

Karma isn't visible on Lemmy, but my instance (Mbin) shows it as "reputation". If you're curious, yours is 39482.

That's a problem inherent to public social media platforms. Web/API scrapers have existed forever; the fediverse just makes it a little easier since you can run your own instance and gather data automatically.

At that point you might as well just send it as text.

Unfortunately most QR readers don't recognize an image regardless of the data format.

Depends on what you consider readable, but I got it down to 2842 bytes by downscaling it and using an absolutely atrocious quality setting:

That's just small enough to fit inside a QR code, so I did that! (You probably can't scan it with a typical QR reader; you need something like zbar that supports reading binary data).

I don't see how looking like me would help them get CCTV footage, unless it's through some sort of supernatural means. And even if they could find footage of me entering a password, they'd be hard-pressed to extract individual keystrokes from a typical CCTV quality recording. Perhaps it's technically possible, but it's certainly not trivial.

Same as I do now, passwords. Unless they inherited my memories, in which case who's to say I'm not the doppelganger?
