IMO one of the main problems is eliminating the workflow of older commercial operating systems and having to build a new habit of using a new system. There are various Linux-based distributions that manage to give the user everything they need without having to resort to using the specific terminal.

Creating a new habit after spending years developing one for an old system, for me, is the main problem that leads many users to leave it.

oW, it's fluffy time 💛

For me both must coexist. The time light allows me to be able to see the development environment and the elements in situations when there is a lot of light (even if the monitor is anti-glare the light theme is better), while when the light decreases the dark theme does not "shoot a blinding light".

Basically, light or dark? both.

First he fires almost all Twitter employees, some even almost without warning, and then he complains that Meta has hired them to develop Threads.

There's no getting around it, Musk has only led to the failure of what was, in part, one of the social networks with great potential.

Apparently with some authenticators the link provided by Lemmy will not be "formatted" according to the "rules" of the application that is used to store the 2FA codes (I'm just guessing and I'm not sure), but you can copy the button link "2FA installation link" finding something like:

otpauth://totp/Lemmy.world:[your name account]?secret=[your secret seed for 2FA]&algorithm=SHA256 etc

On Aegis I simply manually added a new element, copy [your secret seed for 2FA] and specify the SHA256 algorithm, all other parameters I left default.

But before logging out of your account, try for example on another browser or on a different device if everything works correctly, in my case it didn't give me any problems, I hope that in the future Lemmy will make this easier.

Please dont use it for now! It doesnt work at all!

I'm not sure of the answer, I just tried to save the 2FA code using Aegis. To be precise:

• Samsung Galaxy S5 (good vintage)
• Android 6.0.1, patched 1 Apr 2017
• Aegis 2.1.3 (Play Store)

By importing the code and specifying the algorithm requested by Lemmy: SHA256, the import went correctly and I can access the account with the 2FA code.

But if it works I can recommend “ente authentication” its open source and works great

Agree with you, in the post I mentioned others precisely because, fortunately, there're many alternatives to manage 2FA suits. Both Aegis and FreeOTP are open source and usually, the ones I hear most recommended. Obviously, your choice is also completely correct, as long as the project is open source and above all maintained it can certainly be software to be evaluated.

And for security reasons I would NOT recommend the seeds and/or QR codes as it adds a breaking point

Still totally agree, as I wrote in "bold" in the post, it's not advisable. However, we must bear in mind that each user has his own needs and therefore may prefer, for certain credentials, greater usability rather than greater security. We could extend this speech indefinitely, you don't imagine on all the other social networks, blogs, sites, etc. where users insult each other about how to manage 2FA codes.

I absolutely want to avoid this, I don't want another social network where I can dedicate passion and then only see users getting pissed off with each other.

As said, I agree with you, but in the end, the choice depends exclusively on the user and his needs.

PS: sorry if my tone may seem mean but it's not at all, indeed I love to see that the community grows and that there are people like you and others who interact with each other! ❤️

Strange, I don't see anything useless in this photo. Gotta print em all!

Or is it that the OpenAI computer isn’t going a good enough job of following the “three references” rule to avoid plagiarism?

This is exactly the problem, months ago I read that AI could have free access to all public source codes on GitHub without respecting their licenses.

So many developers have decided to abandon GitHub for other alternatives not realizing that in the end AI training can safely access their public repos on other platforms as well.

What should be done is to regulate this training, which however is not convenient for companies because the more data the AI ingests, the more its knowledge expands and "helps" the people who ask for information.

People joke about these things but for me the MX Master Dog wireless mouse is one of the best!

Microsoft Authenticator (don’t judge me)

Don't worry, everyone is free to use any product and software they are comfortable with, the important thing is always to have a backup to avoid, as you said, being "locked out"! ☺️

Somehow the code I get is wrong

Anyway, I'm not sure but maybe you can try this, copy the link when you press the "2FA installation link" button, and you will have something like this: otpauth://totp/Lemmy.world:[your name account]?secret=[your secret seed for 2FA]&algorithm=[bla bla bla]

Copy [your secret seed for 2FA] and put it in the authenticator you use.

Unfortunately, I don't use Microsoft Authenticator so I can't verify but this can be a starting point for sure.

Totally agree, as written in the community description the 3-2-1 strategy is one of the best.

Unfortunately people tend to consider "cloud" = backup, which isn’t in most cases.

I hope this community can help many people find the right method to manage all their most important data and their digital identity.

Regardless of everything, whether it's too full of detail for an icon or approaching the style of Apollo's icons, I have to admit it's absolutely gorgeous! Good job!
