Due to lemmy.world blocking pirating communities, I will now be using !CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I was going to ask for a source but…facts are facts.


When you share your playlist or have Spotify hooked up to some other service like discord, it shows the name associated with the account.
And changing that name is not as straight forward as you might think.
Given the fact that it’s shared so easily, I wouldn’t be surprised if email addresses could be exposed with the right options.


Not necessarily shady.
I use 10 minute email if a merchant requires me enter an email account before seeing the total price on an item (including shipping). That’s the most common pattern I’ve seen. My guess is that they want to ping you to complete the purchase.
Or a website might require free registration in order to view the content.
One place I use 10-minute email is actually Spotify. I didn’t want to give them my Gmail address since your name is exposed to the world via their sharing API.
Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of bad uses for it as well. But privacy minded people use it too.


The only correct regex for email is: .+@.+
So long as the address has a local part, the at sign, and a hostname, it’s a valid email address.
Whether it goes somewhere is the tricky part.


Doesn’t surprise me one bit. I’ve noticed that a lot of websites will only accept .com and a few will only accept email addresses from popular providers (Gmail, Hotmail, outlook, etc.)
My guess is that it’s trying to reduce spam and fake account generation.



It says something about the Internet and Firefox in general when the trending add-ons are about de-shitifying a platform…
And Google ink. Whatever that is. Probably some app they’ll discontinue next week.
Ninja edit: I know it says search results but that’s the current trending list.


Won’t you PLEASE think of the shareholders?! They don’t want to ask the government for yet another government bailout.
I feel like PowerShell is what happens when you give a business analyst a set of requirements, who then sends it to the dev team to implement, but then the CEO says that the requirements are dumb and it should be something different.
There is a number between 1 and probably 20 where the punishment for the number of people you kill doesn’t really make a difference.


I’m not super familiar with the situation but very familiar with how boards work.
Anyone know why the board resigned instead of pursuing legal action? Unless the gitlab instance was in the admins actual name, it belongs to the org. A restraining order removing the admin would be enough for gitlab proper to remove the guy and install someone else.
While most courts don’t know a lot about technology, board of director actions are very, very straight forward.
Probably the most elaborate Rick roll I’ve ever received.


Yeah except that the sugar lobby does a lot to artificially keep sugar prices down. The sugar lobby also fights tooth and nail to make sure that sugar sin taxes don’t get passed or if they do, they target all sweeteners.


If you think chocolate is bad, sugar is worse.
What I’ve learned in the last few years is that every part of modern life has exploitation in it.
There are very few parts that aren’t.


The episode where Wilson doses House with an antidepressant to prove to him that he’s depressed was so on point.


Doesn’t Plex require you to buy their premium service in order to use it on mobile devices?
I remember setting up my Plex server and was shocked that I had to pay to view my own media.


This is why it is soooo important to network. I’m far more likely to read a resume given to me by a friend or someone I know verses a random resume that lands in my inbox.


I saw the Jaden Smith film and it’s…okay. But yeah…it’s not karate. It’s kung fu. They even say that in the movie.
Yet they still called it The Karate Kid.


Mr. Robot for its hacking scenes. A bit dramatized but much better than the infamous CSI hacking screen.


Peggy then eventually married Josh Lyman, who became a pilot after leaving President Santos. They had a son who became the greatest detective that the NYPD has ever known!
The problem is that because the hardware is there, a determined person with physical access can change the settings to join a network you don’t control.
Ideally, you can open the TV and remove the wifi modules but I suspect that might be beyond the skills of most TV owners.
Tbh, I stopped owning a TV since college. I watch everything on my computer or phone now.
