Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It's devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.

Lemmy doesn't track an account's karma like reddit. So, all downvotes will be isolated to your post or comment and won't affect your account—unless you wrote something truly horrible.

Remember lemmy is a community effort. Deleting a post also removes all comments on it. So you are not only robbing the effort others put in, you are actively removing knowledge from the fediverse. Others won't be able to find it through search and lemmy will seem lonelier than it already is.

A license verification certificate expires and when it expires, Microsoft Office for Mac assumes it's unlicensed even if it has been fully paid for.

So, any idiot who paid for Office 2019 for Mac "perpetual" will lose access to it next month.

The same will happen with Office 2021 and Office 2024 in the future.

Pirates are unaffected, only who paid for the product gets punished

Good job 👍🏻

I haven't tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.

I've had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don't want to use LinkedIn, but it's pretty much a requirement in my industry.

I'm not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona's ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.

This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it's being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.
