OK, this is a walkthrough of the weird VNC thing #rabbit#r1 uses for connecting accounts. Again, I'm not saying there is anything necessarily wrong with doing this. I am saying there are way better ways to do this. And the clipboard button workaround is very funny. https://mastodon.social/
@film_girl that is the jankiest integration possible. Also, your password is known to the remote VNC server before you paste it in and they could conceivably log your keystrokes remotely... Engineering-wise, that is not even defensible, because I have to wonder how they're capturing the Spotify access token to bind it to your account (non of the answers are comfortable to contemplate).
@film_girl Interesting, thanks for sharing. I was getting pretty excited about this device but now I'm coming back to earth. General functionality issues aside, This VNC implementation poses significant #a11y issues for those of us using screen readers who might want to configure the thing.
@film_girl it is very weird. I got mine today and I actually really really like it despite the bugs and limited functionality. But the VNC process was so weirdly unpolished compared to how lovely the hardware and cute UI are.
