He can't do many things. Going to the mars for example. Or building a self driving cars. And soooo much more.

Just by loading the image in the DM.

But to be clear. All they get at most is your IP address. That's not worth much alone.

There is a setting that prevents sending the IP address by caching the image. lemmy.world should definitely enable that. They don't do that right now, unfortunately.

Still the right thing

It depends on the instance configuration. If images are proxied, no traffic should show up.

They use different images.

Not that I like it. It's just how it is.

That may be true technologically. But if the economics don't add up it's a bubble.

When the image of "Nicole" is loaded, your computer/phone connects to another server and transfers your IP address. But it currently looks like it's not that big of a problem. Still a fix will be implemented soon to prevent this.

This would break a lot of sites

Thanks! Completely overlooked that

Hmm do you have a link to docs for that? 🤔
