I think it could work great on a dating profile. It’s unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking
Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption

You can just paste the link normally. If you want custom text on the link, you do this

Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn’t accessible to you, then it’s not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at
Although I’m not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds

So while this isn’t the cause in your case, it is possible to sticky things to the main feed. It’s done by admins, and for example lemmy.ca had something stickied right now:
- Comment on When I sort by "newest" why is the top post a month old? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s a federation bug. That post is on community.nodebb.org, which isn’t a Lemmy instance but actually a different software.
Which in itself is cool! There are a few projects being worked on right now to make traditional forums compatible with activity pub. The idea being that someday you’ll be able to follow and post in official support forums for things right from your Lemmy account.
But right now, it might be causing some weird federation bug. Maybe the date of the post shows up to Lemmy as sometime in the future and so it’s always the “newest” post (or something similar)?
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 2 weeks ago:
Some brainstorming from me:
- Ideally people do not buy more teslas
- An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
- Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car’s console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else.
Alternatively, what would a recycling program look like?

I’ve heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.
As for the servers

- Comment on When picking location for reincarnation USA is a really popular choice but don't pick it, it's a total bait and switch. 2 weeks ago:
Makes me think of Original Position / veil of ignorance
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position
The original position (OP), often referred to as the veil of ignorance, is a thought experiment often associated with the works of American philosopher John Rawls. In the original position, one is asked to consider which principles they would select for the basic structure of society, but they must select as if they had no knowledge ahead of time what position they would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a “veil of ignorance”, which prevents them from knowing their ethnicity, social status, gender, and (crucially in Rawls’s formulation) their or anyone else’s ideas of how to lead a good life. Ideally, this would force participants to select principles impartially and rationally.
- Comment on Recommendations for home media infrastructure esp. software? 2 weeks ago:
Oh interesting, I didn’t know that was a thing
www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/1bapfkl
The armv8 architecture which the DS218 uses is supported by Container Manager, Synology just put a hardcoded config into the official package to exclude certain models from installing it:
exclude_model=“synology_rtd1296_ds118 synology_rtd1296_ds218 synology_rtd1296_ds218play synology_rtd1296_ds418 synology_rtd1296_ds418j synology_armada37xx_ds119j synology_rtd1296_rs819”Pretty sure the github.com/…/ContainerManager_for_all_armv8 linked above just removes the hardcoded exclusion and doesn’t need to change anything else to get it to work.
If that workaround looks shady, you might be better off just installing docker directly
- Comment on Recommendations for home media infrastructure esp. software? 2 weeks ago:
Which Synology NAS is it, and can you install Container Manager on it? That might be the simplest option since your files are already on that device.
You can run jellyfin on a Synology device using Container manager, and then try it out with your phone and desktop (or even web browser) to see if you like it. There should be lots of guides out there for it.
Container Manager is basically a worse DockGE / Portainer by Synology. It should be sufficient for pasting in the Jellyfin docker compose, but if you wanted you could also run DockGE and do it that way.
I gather Plex is at least semi-commercial while Jellyfin is the open source but worse option.
I haven’t used Plex enough to judge, but from the comments I’ve seen it seems that Jellyfin is now on par with or better than Plex. There was also some news recently about them moving some core features (remote playback?) to the paid plans, so I imagine there will be more people moving over soon.
There are a lot of options for client side apps, and you might be able to find something specific to your setup
- Comment on Looking for simple self-hosted image editor / resizer app 2 weeks ago:
I thought it might be in settings but I don’t see it. For me, I got an option for “just this one” vs “always” when I tried to open a video, and it seems to be remembering that.
You could try backing up any settings and resetting the app to see if you get anything different, although it really should let you pick a default at any point

- Comment on As AI nurses reshape hospital care, human nurses are pushing back. 3 weeks ago:
The description sounds more like an AI receptionist than an AI nurse. Being able to ask questions to the automated phone call before an appointment sounds helpful. Some clinics don’t have the manpower for that, and especially not in all the languages that the local population might speak.
I’d be interested in seeing how good the model actually is
- Comment on Is thereany software/programs for posting news source to lemmy or mastodon 4 weeks ago:
There are a few
I’ve been playing with LemmySchedule to schedule out posts ahead of time. This can be good if you want to sit down once and queue a number of posts to go out over the course of a few hours, or if you want to make recurring discussion threads (which work great for building up a community slowly)
There is also @bot@rss.ponder.cat, which you can set up to post from RSS feeds. This sounds closest to what you want to do from the other thread. The instructions are here: rss.ponder.cat/post/34622
There may be others out there :)
