That looks like Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion on the $280 one. I assume that they had to pay licensing fees on that. If you really, really are into Asuka...

I dunno what that is.
The only way is it be absolutely private by not interacting...
I don't know if this is news to you but this is not a lemmy specific problem and basically applies to the entire internet...
Hyphanet's Frost can provide pretty solid forum pseudonymity.
But that comes with its own performance, usability, and functionality tradeoffs.
What could be done to limit the amount of information associated with a username is to switch to a new account periodically.
That's somewhat unfortunate in that it clashes with reputation, which is also important for making the Threadiverse work.
identity is reviled [I assume revealed]
The fact that most instances permit external image hosting permits obtaining user IP addresses by posting inline images hosted on a server created by an attacker, then harvesting IPs there. I noticed when going through the code that Lemmy, as of 0.19.4, has an option to protect users of a home instance by proxying images viewed there. However, it requires bandwidth and disk space, and I don't think that many home instances have it on. It is definitely not on on my own home instance, lemmy.today.
Image Proxying
There is a new config option called image_mode which provides a way to proxy external image links through the local instance. This prevents deanonymization attacks where an attacker uploads an image to his own server, embeds it in a Lemmy post and watches the IPs which load the image.
Instead if image_mode is set to ProxyAllImages, image urls are rewritten to be proxied through /api/v3/image_proxy. This can also improve performance and avoid overloading other websites. The setting works by rewriting links in new posts, comments and other places when they are inserted in the database. This means the setting has no effect on posts created before the setting was activated. And after disabling the setting, existing images will continue to be proxied. It should also be considered experimental.
Many thanks to @asonix for adding this functionality to pict-rs v0.5.
I don't know whether PieFed and Mbin presently have comparable functionality.
One major issue is that proxying the images will create more bandwidth usage on a home node, since they're serving up all the images viewed by users of that home node, as well as disk space to store the proxied images
it's more-expensive to run a node in that mode.
Unless your home instance has this option enabled, you should probably consider your IP address to be globally-visible. Note that using a VPN will mean that only the VPN's exit node IP will be visible.
Their main community
It looks like this is !main@sh.itjust.works
Most major Threadiverse instances have some sort of "instance" community to deal with issues related to that instance
personally, I think that it should be be a default on instances, so that we have a single standardized name and it's easy to find for users.
On lemmy.today, there's !lemmytoday@lemmy.today to act as an "unregulated" instance community and !announcements@lemmy.today, where posting is restricted to the admins, so that official announcements don't get drowned out. I think that that "two community" approach isn't a bad idea.
It does sort of suggest that from a UI standpoint, a chunk of users doesn't really deal well with the traditional paradigm of "opening a document in an application consumes resources, and part of the job of the user is to manage those resources". Like, maybe Chrome should just do the equivalent of, at least by default, converting a tab that hasn't been viewed for some time into something akin to a bookmark, just reload it when it's viewed. Or at least push the data into on-disk storage.
I don't use Chrome, but Firefox does something vaguely-analogous to that for session storage
like, if Firefox dies unexpectedly, restored tabs won't reload content until actually viewed, I assume to avoid the thundering herd problem.
I remember when I first encountered mobile OSes auto-killing programs and stuff to try to manage memory for users. I thought that it was pretty insane. But...clearly some users have trouble with it, and maybe it's a reasonable UI change for them. I know people who had difficulty, on various desktop OSes, understanding the significance of starting a program and the idea that a running program would consume memory and perhaps CPU time.
I'd assume so, but more importantly, for both, there's a cryptographic signature being performed by the card. The credentials never leave the card
there's a private key on the card, and what goes out is a signature on the transaction, which is useless for doing other transactions.
In most respects, CRTs were technically worse, but a lot of video game art was designed around their characteristics, optimized for them, and thus can appear better on a CRT. We can
and do
try to emulate CRT quirks on LCDs/LEDs to varying degrees, but we're always going to be just approaching what a CRT looked like.

I was going to ask whether she would vote against herself if her opponent is male, but it looks like she's ahead of the ball on that one:
She criticized "modern feminism" and its impact, specifically mentioning concerns "starting with women's right to vote."
EDIT: Ah, looks like they included that quote in the submitted article too.
Print shows Uncle Sam asleep in a chair with a large eagle perched on a stand next to him; he is dreaming of conquests and annexations, asserting his "Monroe Doctrine" rights, becoming master of the seas, putting John Bull in his place, and building "formidable and invulnerable coast defenses"; on the floor by the chair are jingoistic and yellow journalism newspapers.

db0 set up an AI image generator bot both on the Threadverse and Mastodon some time back for anyone to use. All one needs to do is mention it in a comment followed by the text "draw for me" and then prompt text, and it'll respond with some generated images. For example:
@aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me An engraving of a skunk.
Caused it to reply back to me with:
Here are some images matching your request
Prompt: An engraving of a skunk.
Style: flux
The bot has apparently been active for some time and it looks like few people were aware that it existed or used it
I certainly wasn't!
I don't know whether it will work in this community, as this community says that it prohibits most bots from operating here. However, I set up a test thread over here on !test@sh.itjust.works to try it out, where it definitely does work; I was exploring some of how it functions there, and if you're looking for a test place to try it out, that should work!
It farms out the compute work to various people who are donating time on their GPUs via AI Horde.
The FAQ for the bot is here. For those familiar with local image generation, it supports a number of different models.
The default model is Flux, which is, I think, a good choice
that takes English-like sentences describing a picture, and is pretty easy to use without a lot of time reading documentation.
A few notes:
The bot disallows NSFW image generation, and if it detects one, it'll impose a one-day tempban on its use to try to make it harder for people searching for loopholes to generate them.
There appears to me in my brief testing to be some kind of per-user rate limit. db0 says that he does have a rate limit on Mastodon, but wasn't sure whether he put one on Lemmy, so if you might only be able to generate so many images so quickly.
The way one chooses a model is to change the "style" by ending the prompt text with "style: stylename". Some of these styles entail use of a different model; among other things, it's got models specializing in furry images; there's a substantial furry fandom crowd here. There's a list of supported styles here with sample images.
db0 has encouraged people to use it in that test post and in another thread where we were discussing this, says have fun. I wanted to post here to give it some visibility, since I think that a lot of people, like me, have been unaware that has been available. Especially for people on phones or older computers, doing local AI image generation on GPUs really isn't an option, and this lets folks who do have GPUs share them with those folks.
I don't know why you want a BIOS update.
If you're wanting VT-x support, looks like it's present.
