flumph, to opensource in How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub?

2FAS is open source and doesn’t have a cloud presence to store data. You can use it to add 2FA to your other services as well.

It’s a video game show that uses the rules of the video game world.

Checkout infosec.exchange instead of blocking Threads, the admin made a second instance for people who wanted Threads blocked. Like 40 people migrated, lol

  1. “Run around” = Respond to a thread that appeared in my subscriptions.
  2. “Must lick Meta’s boots” = Let users decide for themselves to block Meta.

Your hyperbole makes it obvious you have no place in a reasonable debate about this topic.

I love when people conflate rights and ethics. I agree with you that no one has a right to be listed on Fedi Garden. And I still think it’s not nice to pressure admins into taking choice away from users.

“I don’t think it’s nice to federate with a company that has been cited in multiple independent reports of massacres/genocides,”

And I don’t think it’s nice to take the choice away from users. I can block threads all on my own – I don’t need a nanny who doesn’t even cite their sources.

Your entire comment reads as a refute of OPs criticism and an excuse for Meta’s actions. If you were agreeing with OPs criticism, you would typically use phrases like “only five years”.

And? Why take active steps to stop it from working instead of just stopping technical support? Oh yeah, to get more money.

This blog from the maintainer makes it clear they have no interest in open source other than to advertise their own skills

Thanks for your comment. I usually travel alone and was like “why would anyone subject themselves to AirBNB.” I appreciate the context and perspective.

Interesting article! I can’t tell from the post, though, is this due to a limitation on bots in Matrix or that no one has invested to make a similar bot for Matrix?

flumph, to games in Sweet Baby Inc. employees harass steam group admin for listing their games to avoid them
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

Because Sweet Baby Inc is known for forcing a narrative and tokens into the writing, for the sake of diversity on the cost of quality of the story and the characters.

Where is the proof of this beyond speculation? I can’t think of a mechanism through which a consultant can force anything. Their contracts would undoubtedly have an NDA that would prevent them from sharing which of their recommendations the client acted on or not.
