Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don’t love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don’t want to give them my phone number just to log in....
I’d like it to open an app that shows a list at once instead of the current, horribly inefficient way that makes apps mostly take up almost the whole screen, one at a time… Thanks for any ideas!
It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...
the only viable option, assuming you’re not already independently wealthy, is that you have to work another job to work on the game in the meantime, which means it will take even longer to come out.
I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from… a spreadsheet…) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I’m not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files’ local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or...
This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don’t know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don’t have a recovery CD or anything like that. I’d also need to back up everything first… which would be a pain…
Really annoyed to find out that Google Play credit must entirely cover an app purchase or else it doesn’t get used at all. Oh, well. There are innumerable worse injustices out there.
Like, to quickly show a reader how a name is spelled for paperwork, etc. Something that makes the text take up the entire size of the screen or something like that.
I sometimes lose typed text due to form issues, accidental edits/deletions, etc. and am really interested in any running keylogger for Android phones. Thanks for any help or ideas!...
Off-topic: why do you tag the user whose comment you're directly responding to? Others, sure, but the parent comment already gets a notification of your response.
You are assuming that this moderator criticism applies universally; there are dozens of subs with fantastic, fair mods, which are the only ones I sub to. I actively avoid subs that have mods who I see lock or delete stuff too often for my taste. Reddit also has major pastimes like /r/FreeGameFindings that people are not willing to give up; that place is one of my favorite hobbies and I can only hope a Telegram bot gets generated to notify me of its Lemmy counterpart's posts, as one does of the subreddit's. (Someone, help!)
Mods' CSS work may also serve as a real-life portfolio for actual jobs; who knows? The bots could also be, depending on the content, helping them make real money or otherwise find irl opportunities for preferred alternative fitness (/r/AppLab) or lifestyle preferences.
/r/MealPrepSunday is still going. /r/legaladvice is going. People get real-world help here and they aren't willing to give that up. /r/BeerMoney is going absolutely strong and it literally helps people make money.
What these mods should be doing is staying open and making a pinned post saying "Consider joining our equivalent on Lemmy." But within Reddit's scope, they can shut that down, too. Reddit is a for-profit entity just like Facebook and Twitter, which have every right to clamp down on encouragement away to Mastodon, etc. Even if it makes them look bad.
So, as I asked someone else here who was criticizing the continuation of the API shutdown or why people are not being as vehemently opposed to it as some Lemmy migrants: what subs were you frequenting?
Lastly, I am a mod of dozens of smaller subs. What matters to me most is making sure everyone has a home to discuss their favorite topics. They're generally niche enough to not actually need moderation, but I'm seeing I also don't have enough time to figure out how to generate (or just plain generate) Lemmy counterparts for everything, though I used to have sufficient time in the past. People's lives change but they depend on things that are important to them.
To all programmers, I am serious about all the extensive integrations into subs being a factor for why people still go there. I would love to see a Telegram bot for a counterpart to /r/GooglePlayDeals, like https://t.me/r_googleplaydeals and /r/FreeGameFindings, like https://t.me/r_FreeGameFindings, which would help people leave more easily.
As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."
It's ironic how I heard from a Facebook employee that the staff members of Facebook have their own internal Facebook network, and it functions a lot more closely like how Facebook was originally supposed to be designed—versus the public model's cesspool of marketing, ads, privacy violations, and manipulation that is the only one we now all know.
