This is right outside the Subway at the Stadler bike store in Friedrichshain. No plates. Clearly not moved in months, maybe years. And there it sits, rotting. Parked on 5 sq m of public ground for free
So, someone posted a toot indicating one should avoid 2FA on Google's authenticator app at all costs, because it appears to transfer sensitive data in the clear.
Well, I discovered today that if you bypass the initial screen asking you to configure 2FA, all of your Authenticator accounts are irretrievably lost.
Kaput. Gone.
I fucking hate this world so much. I want to throw literal bricks right now. I'm so fucking done with this shit.
Unless one's facing state-sponsored attackers with basically unlimited personnel hours and computing power at their disposal, most organizations will already be "unattractive to target" with too high risk and too low reward if they refuse to use shitty bloatware and unmaintainable CCSS in their #IT.
I love it. There’s a poll ongoing about whether folks would ban a Meta (Instagram/Facebook) instance and people are like “well, I’d give them the benefit of the doubt.”
I really have no words.
Is it learned helplessness? Stockholm Syndrome? Masochism? Something else?
Some people on #Mastodon#boost terribly much. You know, those guys who want to show you everything they find interesting themselves. I am one of them.😁
If that gets on your nerves, you don't have to block or mute turbo #boosters. There is a much smarter solution to receive only their original posts!
Go to the profile you follow, click the 3 dots and click "hide boosts of @ xy . It's so easy! (Screenshot browser) #boosts
#Google, #Yahoo & #Microsoft are notorious for ignoring #abuse reports and not giving any shit, yet instantly & silently block mailservers if they don't setup SPF the way they want it.
Why the hell do I have THREE copies of Cisco Webex installer in my download directory when it's required by company policy to be installed (and it's installed) and I don't recall downloading this
Must be a drive-by download when some Webex invites open the web browser, only to discover you have Webex installed
Glasfaser
In den vier Wohngebieten in meiner Umgebung läuft die Nachfragebündelung diese Woche aus. Das Interesse liegt in den Wohngebieten zwischen 10 und 23% der Haushalte, kein Gebiet liegt derzeit bei den erforderlichen 33%.
Glasfaserausbau, Digitalisierung und moderne Infrastruktur in Deutschland hat eben was mit gesellschaftlichem Interesse an diesen Technologien zu tun.
Die 100 Mrd. an Sonderschulden für die #Rüstungsindustrie und staatlichen Schützenverein mit Neonazi-Magnetismus fehlen für flächendeckenden #Glasfaser-Ausbau.
@bjo@33dBm wie dermaßen Rückwärtsgewandt Deutschland ist erkennt man daran dass #NetCologne 2017 für 10GBit/s symmetrisch €9.999 netto wollte, während https://bahnhof.se in #Stockholm dasselbe für 499 SEK (ca. €40) brutto anbot.
I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.
The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.
If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.
The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.
Certain folks are saying that Bluesky’s search capabilities spell potential doom for the Fediverse.
Except Bluesky is only searching on one node. What happens when you add another node? What happens when you add 10,000 nodes for Bluesky to connect with?
Will all nodes that use AT protocol have comparable search?
Will Bluesky’s search even be as good as what’s available on Misskey, Akkoma, Friendica, and some forms of Mastodon?
@atomicpoet core problem is that one can't even search through one's own posts.
There isn't even a remotely functional search [for one's own posts or accounts that one is following & that are following back even if they are on the same server!]...
Making a good backup of my #fedora laptop before upgrading to version 38 that just was released. Hope all goes well, started using Fedora in November and first in-place upgrade and might not go back go Debian for a while either.
Stuff always comes first to the people all into it, and then, eventually, spreads everywhere. Computers? Oh yeah it's just a hacker thing, business thing, gamer thing... And now we have computers on our rists! Okay let's skip forward a bit. Mastodon. Oh it's only for LGBTQ+ folks. Oh it's just for techies and hackers and people into niche stuff like screen readers and bees and plants and such. And now? Oh hey lookie it's everywhere! MAGA folks have their own instances and they don't even know they're using Mastodon. Tons of federating services, from LiveJournal to micro.blog. Y'all don't think that's gonna happen to Linux? Oh wait how popular is the Steamdeck now? And how much longer until Steam starts really cashing in on its desktop mode? What OS do developers primarily use now? And yeah, it may be five years from now on SteamDeck 4, but I bet it'll happen.
Now, I know there are people who are blind even on here that use Linux full time. I'm sure eventually one of y'all is gonna make a killer Mastodon app like Tweesecake but for Linux, using Linux tools and stuff. But will the Linux UI be ready? Will desktop environments be ready? I sure hope KDE is, because right now it's the only one with a goal of accessibility. if that guy paid by RedHat says "oh yeah everything is mostly working," then he's not used Linux's GUI in a long time. But then shoot Linux even has Eloquence, through Voxin. It really has the capability to take off. And just like in the beginning of Mastodon, blind people will have to scream to be heard over others who don't like how the bottom left sidebar doesn't line up properly with the middle left upside down sidebar. And in the end, we'll either have to make our own stuff, like we've done with Tweesecake, or work with developers who give a damn enough to help.
