Just today I witnessed someone working from home who had to move to a new system at work. Part of the instructions involved deactivating their 2FA app, which was apparently still needed for a later step in the process. They were supposed to use a backup phone number in the account to receive a text code to sign in, but, of course, there’s no backup phone number in their account.

If only their job used this scheme instead. sigh

Good to hear that. Scrolling through some recent posts here rings enough bells that the possibility would haunt me in the back of my mind for a while. But where to even start?

Thanks for sharing

Holy shit, that has a name?!

… Am I supposed to seek medical advice now or what?

I remember Duo and Allo coexisting at some point in time. Duo had always been about video calls, and Allo had always been about chatting (unless it had a secret video callcall feature I forgot about).

Still a good joke though

Stable Diffusion when you ask it to generate a house:

Somehow, KDE Connect treats a media stream happening on a connected device the same as if it’s playing on your local device. If you’re playing a video on your laptop in Firefox it will add one of those “music player” things in your phone’s notification shade, allowing you to control the video from your phone.

Android automagically pauses everything it deems to be “media playback” until the end of your call, thus also pausing that Firefox video on your laptop.

Probably not at first glance for every user. I still have Sync for Reddit installed and both Sync for Reddit and Sync for Lemmy show up as “Sync” in my app drawer, the only difference being that the latter doesn’t have an icon pack theme applied (though I think the difference is SR = white and SL = dark).

There’s probably an extremely tiny minority that doesn’t know that SR died, had purchased Pro or Ultra, downloaded SL without knowing that SL is a “reboot” for Sync, hadn’t noticed that Lemmy isn’t Reddit, and then tried to restore their purchase expecting it to work. But I don’t think it would be inherently obvious how it isn’t the same app once it is installed on your phone, since it appears to work identical to the original Sync

Make lemonade, obviously
