I have a bunch of saved posts, then went to find one the other day and the user had deleted their account with all their content permanently deleted :(

But other words like SCUBA and NASA are not pronounced like the words they derive from, so this can’t be an all-encompassing rule.

ETA: Or maybe I’ve been pronouncing SCUBA and NASA wrong

I was in traffic on the weekend that was doing about half the speed limit, and passed a car that had been pulled over. I thought they must have done something pretty impressive to manage that.

Aegis is a free open source TOTP 2FA app like Google Authenticator, and available on both F-Droid and Google Play. You should be able to export from Google Authenticator and import into Aegis.

Edit: I had assumed because Aegis had an option to import from Google Authenticator that this would mean you could export in bulk. Bad assumption to make, it sounds like you can do it if you have a rooted phone but Authenticator doesn’t make it easy. I did find this that shows a method to do a handful at once: blog.jay2k1.com/…/how-to-bulk-migrate-from-google…

For one, Aegis is more well known. Aegis has 6k+ stars where FreeOTP+ has about 500. This doesn’t mean it’s better, just that people are more likely to recommend it.

Aegis also has more features, and can import from many different authenticator apps (though as many don’t allow exports, this may require technical knowledge to get the database and feed it in). If you have root then Aegis can pull directly from the other apps.

Aegis claims they are better than FreeOTP because the encrypt passwords at rest.

One big difference is FreeOTP+ lets you not have to enter a pin/password to see the codes while Aegis you need to enter a pin, password, or biometric to see your codes.

When Google advertises that if you raise your hand in real life then Google Meet will mark you as having your hand raised, this reality just got a little bit closer.

I’d like to see multi-reddit type functionality, so you can see each of the communities as one feed. And the ability to subscribe to that multi-lemmy.

Plus deduplication. One entry in the feed that covers all cross-posts (with some way to pick which comment feed you want to see - or hey, maybe combine them).

Lemmy posts also show they are edited.

Though I never wrote that I fixed a typo on reddit either. Only stating the edit if it was adding info or changing something.

I fix spelling mistakes once someone replied because that’s when I come back and see my comment again and notice the spelling mistake.

If this is how Lemmy is ran then I will need to find another community

Lemmy is not ran in any particular way.

That’s one community one one instance. On most instances, anyone can create a community and become the god of what is allowed there. That doesn’t mean it’s representative of the rest of that instance. But even if it is, you can post to other communities on other instances.

There is one mod on one community doing something dodgy (or just got a report about it being antisemitic and assumed they were right - after all, there’s no training course for being a lemmy mod). This is certainly not the way “lemmy is ran” and thinking lemmy is run in any particular way is missing the core aspect of what lemmy is.

It’s just inflation. The value of a dollar in 2036 is a lot less than now.

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

In the past, governments didn’t have inflation targets. The black friday event involved the government flooding the gold market, dramatically reducing the value of gold. At the time the value of a dollar was directly tied to the value of gold. In hyper-inflation events (that don’t often happen in developed countries but do still happen in some countries around the world), inflation may be 50% or 100% or 200%. Sometimes way more.

These days (the last 30 or 40 years), inflation and gold have been decoupled, and instead the government has a target range of approx 1-3% inflation (depending on your exact government, but if you’re in a developed country then it is probably close). This was intended as a target that would allow businesses to have some certainty and was low so they could ignore inflation in their forecasts. The original target range was 0-2% set in New Zealand, but as it spread around the world it got slightly adjusted to a 1-3% range.

The governments now try to directly control inflation by changing the cost of borrowing money. You might have recently had inflation hit as much as 9%, but this is nothing like what happened in the old days.

Yeah but my mother in law makes some beautifully potent aged eggnog and so storebought just isn’t on my shopping list even at christmas.

What should be used for anonymous usernames?

More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique,...

@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

No, I don’t use lastpass at all. Just the username generator.

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Does it? As far as I can tell, the only option is for a random word, which isn’t really the same.

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Yeah, the lastpass one does random letters with options such as being pronouncable.
