I only just thought of this. I have the same cartoon-y profile pic from a foreign TV show on a bunch of my accounts, I wonder if its unique enough and worth tracking.

Often websites modify your pfp too, like changing the image format or quality.

Yes but I think most of them use absolutely the same transformation so the resulting image is the same. I really can be wrong though.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nah they don't. I uploaded the exact same pic to a bunch of different work profiles (slack, google, microsoft). I inspected them out of curiosity and they were all different sizes and resolutions.

Hmm then no need to worry about it I guess

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You should still worry about it for manual association. I rarely use them outside work.
