idk, but for Lemmy/kbin/mastodon to be successful, it needs good word-of-mouth advertising. I didn’t end up on reddit because of an ad I saw somewhere.

On his planet, it’s called High-Fructose Infant Raymonds.

Huh, it’s almost like for-profit insurance companies shouldn’t be a thing…

SOLVED: After getting spooked turned on 2FA for lemmy.world account, but the code to scan for my Auth app never appeared, the screen refreshed, logged me out, and I can't get back into my account now

Is there anything I can do, or is that account lost forever now? Resetting the password doesn’t work (natch). Not a huge deal, but it’s upsetting because I was modding a community from that account. Any tips/contacts would be appreciated. Cheers....

I tried to enable it and it didn’t work… Luckily, I’m not locked out and was able to disable it.

It’s absurdist humor.

Which is why I love this post! Makes me want to play conkers and fight my teacher again.

Everyone wonders why ChatGPT is highly censored, this is a good example as to why. However, maybe instead of "As an AI language model" it should say something like, "Large language models like me tend to hallucinate/make up things and confidently convey them in my response. I will leave it up to you to validate what I say." The ultimate problem is the general public is treating LLMs like they are super sci-fi AI, they are basically fantastic autocomplete.

Yup, you know they'll use the good ole MS triple-E tactic: embrace, extend, and extinguish.

They're removing Port Forwarding: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/5/29/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-ports/

Unfortunately port forwarding also allows avenues for abuse, which in some cases can result in a far worse experience for the majority of our users. Regrettably individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services from ports that are forwarded from our VPN servers. This has led to law enforcement contacting us, our IPs getting blacklisted, and hosting providers cancelling us.

The result is that it affects the majority of our users negatively, because they cannot use our service without having services being blocked.

The abuse vector of port forwarding has caught up with us, and today we announce the discontinuation of support for port forwarding. This means that if you are a user of forwarded ports, you will not be able to add or modify the ports you have in use.

We have removed the ability to add port forwards on all accounts.

Let me put on my tinfoil hat for a second: I have a heck of a time believing other VPN providers haven't encountered the same issues as Mullvad and to me, this signals that Mullvad's competitors are working with, lets say, organizations that would be highly interested in what you're doing.

TBH, the mobile experience isn't half bad

No. I like functionality, I don't care how it looks.
