- Comment on Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes 3 days ago:
I don’t mind that they have 2FA features in their app. I mind that using SMS for this has been known to be bad practice for years and they’ve tried to leverage that insecurity to push users to the Steam app. It’s reckless and this current data breach is only possible because of it.

Steam is warning users to enable Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator and keep an eye on account activity.
Fuck off and let me use my own TOTP app already.
- Comment on Lemmy.one will be shutting down 3 days ago:
It originally set out to be just an account-hosting instance, at a time when the major instances with the big communities would be going down as usage surged from people leaving Reddit. This way it was more responsive and reliably online. They have <10 communities hosted on the instance.

Yes, exactly like that. Whoever shares a picture with you. Whoever brags about it. “Did she give you permission to share this? Prove it! No? That’s not ok. I’m letting her know.”

Shit like this needs to be called out by decent men, directly to the faces of the offenders. Challenge their belief that all men are like that. It’s so disheartening to know that I stand out amongst the crowd for treating women with basic dignity and respect. I try so hard to teach my boys about respecting boundaries.

This is why companies have data retention settings to automatically delete old emails and slack/teams/etc. and special processes a classifications to store those communications that relate to contracts and such.

I just tried searching for @pics@lemmy.world on pixelfed.social and it was not found. However I can find myself when I search for @baronvonj@lemmy.world on pixelfed.social. So seems like you can’t.

A lot of people dont use an app at all, much less third party apps, so the whole thing was lost on them to begin with, if they were even aware of it.

- Comment on Thoughts on bringing sportbots.xyz to Lemmy? 3 months ago:
As the mod of a couple of sports communities it would be nice to have some more automated content being posted (like game-day match threads, player trades, etc). However, I have yet to receive a response from sportsbots to any of my requests for adding league and team accounts to be mirrored. I don’t think I’d want every one of their microblog post to show up in the communities, though.
- Comment on Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny Remastered - Trailer 3 months ago:
The first two were crackin. The 3rd one with Jean Reno and time travel was a bit odd. I don’t think I finished what came next and the series dropped off my radar until the recent Netflix series. I’m excited about the new ‘Way of The Sword’ game. Might go back and check out the 2019 Warlords remaster.
- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 5 months ago:
I have seen an uptick in posts saying “block this maga/Nazi/etc” but I haven’t personally directly seen any. I use the Following feed so I only see posts from the people I’ve specifically asked to.

- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
I see that Apple does now, but no indicator of Spotify that I can see. Are you talking about how you can run the desktop app to stream the files on your computer? Because that’s not a digital locker.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
Yeah it was a hundred times better in GPM.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
that was on desktop web browser, music.youtube.com
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
Also, I’m pretty sure you can’t do this anymore.
Menu option is still there for me
It opens a file chooser, so I’m guessing it’s just one file at a time now, which is lame.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
It’s nice when it works, but Plex has so thoroughly enshitified themselves now it needs internet access to stream on the home network! (Yes, I have read the KB/wiki pages and done the setup but it loses user management when connecting that way by IP).
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
From the 5 services shown in the graphs, that would be YouTube Music which lets you upload your library (yes, even FLAC).
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
There’s definitely differences in the catalogs. If there’s a particular genre that isn’t well represented on YouTube Music that is well covered on Spotify. Maybe they just got YT Premium as a family subscription because the kids are on YouTube all the time. I personally can’t imagine switching to a service that doesn’t have a digital locker for me to upload my existing library like YouTube Music does (though I’m still mad at the uploads being less integrated than they were in GPM).
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 7 months ago:
why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium?
You mean because that subscription includes premium YouTube Music?
