Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the...
One note I noticed about USB-C dongles and headphones is that they need to be powered, whereas traditional headphones do not. So the headphones draw power from the phone, which then hurts battery life.
Just noticed it is now cancelled and some of the hosts are creating a new show under the DTNS banner. I am out of the loop. Appreciate if someone can explain. Thanks.
TWiT is definitely in trouble. The last time I listened to them, one of their advertisements was for… doing advertisements on TWiT. They were also pushing their subscription every chance they got.
Their whole network comes off as a bunch of boomers complaining about technology. I don’t think they’ll be around much longer.
With the potential compromise of a very popular lemmy instance, are there any plans for two-factor authentication options for lemmy server admins/owners?
Just be careful with it. It doesn’t confirm that your code is correct before enabling it, and the way it gets set up doesn’t work on a number of different authenticators (such as Authy).
Best way to do it is to enable it in settings add it to your app, and then while the settings screen is still open, open an incognito tab and try to log in.
When logging into lemmy.world the banner now says “Israel - ni**a style” (full word unredacted) and it starts linking to lemon party and a bunch of other NSFW sites.
Right now, 2FA is half-baked. You can enable it and it gives you a link to sync it to an authenticator app, which only works on mobile. But there’s no confirmation required to enable it, so you may think it’s working with your code but it doesn’t take. This will lock people out of accounts....
That doesn’t address the issue. Yeah, that makes setting up a code easy on your device - but the code still should be verified and confirmed as working by the website before 2FA is enabled on the account.
Case in point: I used your revered “automated 2FA key implementation” for Lemmy in Authy. It set up the account in my Authy list, and 2FA was supposed to be working. I opened an icognito tab, went to log in, put in my 2FA code and… it didn’t work.
Luckily, I still had my settings open in my other window and was able to deactivate 2FA.
The code should be tested and confirmed by the site before it’s enabled. Otherwise you can easily get locked out of your account. This is standard practice when implementing 2FA on websites.
It may be an isolated incident, but it would have been avoided had Lemmy confirmed the 2FA code before enabling it on the account. Like standard practice.
Besides, this issue refutes your entire premise - that automated 2FA set up is flawless.
It’s an issue with many different authenticators, and it’s an issue with the way Lemmy sets up its 2FA and doesn’t do a confirmation afterwards. This needs to be fixed.

Why are there still no extensions for Chromium on mobile?
I love Chromium on Android, but not having uBlock origin makes me stick with Firefox (or Mull).
Testing
For some reason I can’t see any lemdro.id posts using my lemmy.world account. Can anyone see this?

Saw a lot of threads popping up regarding the issue and I think the admin could just whip out and pin a thread for lemmings to comment on

2FA should be disabled until it is implemented properly
Right now, 2FA is half-baked. You can enable it and it gives you a link to sync it to an authenticator app, which only works on mobile. But there’s no confirmation required to enable it, so you may think it’s working with your code but it doesn’t take. This will lock people out of accounts....
