That may have been part of the reason, but the theory behind MFA is that there are 3 primary ways to authenticate who you are: what you know (password), what you have (secure one time password generator or hardware token), and what you are (biometrics). Password managers and digital one time password generators have kind of blurred the lines between passwords and one time passwords, but you're raising your risk a bit if you put them in the same place.

That's probably true, but if the satire is annoying in its own right, I'm not going to indulge it either lol

Even if I hosted my own BitWarden vault, I wouldn't put my passwords and 2 factor tokens in the same place because it's eliminating the benefits that 2 factor provides if someone somehow manages to get into my vault.

Exactly, from a security perspective, it's a bad idea to put 2 factor tokens together with your passwords. You effectively eliminate the security benefit that 2 factor provides if you do because if people get into your password manager, they have everything they need to access your accounts. The only people it "helps" having it all in one app are people who don't understand the purpose of 2 factor and just see it as an inconvenience when services force it on them. Even though I use BitWarden for passwords, I don't think that I'll be changing from Aegis to BitWarden's stand-alone authenticator because Aegis is doing its job nicely.

It's pretty low brow humor when I've come to expect better from The Onion 🤷

I can understand how insects can sneak by in food products and we've all probably found a critter in our salads at some point, but how the hell are they letting rocks getting into the process?

I'm honestly a little torn on this because I generally love The Onion and hate Mitch McConnell, but poking fun at what very likely could be a medical issue seems kind of low.

There's a pretty wide gap between A/B listers that are household names making a guaranteed 7+ figures per role and people that fight for every small role they can get, often going weeks between roles, and often only earning SAG minimums.

They could scarcely have worded that title in a way that sounded more sinister.

Reddit died for y'all's sins.

I really wish I could've seen them on the US tour, their new originals are killer. They've come a long way since I first heard about them 🤘

Well, it's gonna cause a few more unfortunately, I think, because there are definitely some bugs in 0.18.1-rc.1

Remote comment,

Yeah and captcha got yanked out again. I understand they needed to get it out the door, I just don't see the argument for removing captcha when it appeared to be doing at least some good in preventing bots 🤷

v0.18 final was released pretty much as you were commenting in here.

The 19 year old is the one I kind of feel sorry for, but he still made the decision to go down there and it's a decision I really don't think I would've made myself. But who knows 🤷

And there's nobody to pierce the veil on and sue directly because the captain went down with the ship too.

Yeah, unfortunately we're at a point where there are breaking changes with the API and Jerboa was unfortunately released with these changes before the new version of the server has been officially. Your server will likely be upgraded pretty quickly after the final release of LemmyNet v0.18 (which will likely be pretty soon because their goal was final release this week).

Your options right now are pretty much limited to downgrading Jerboa until your Lemmy server is upgraded, trying a different app that hasn't been upgraded yet with the v0.18 changes, or making an account on a server that's already running the v0.18 release candidate (you can check at the bottom of the web page to see what version a server is on).

It's pretty bad, if your instance is missing comments and posts from another instance, they're going to be missing the comments indefinitely unless back filling is ever added to the protocol or unless users do what you're doing to manually pull comments and posts in. I think we'll see some federation improvements on the next major version of Lemmy after v0.18, but it's probably going to be shitty and unreliable until then. My personal instance is basically unusable right now.

I think it's a "no for now", but Ruben has reserved a community over here just in case.

I actually do know what political means. Care to explain why you think software licenses are political instead of laughing at what I consider to be a completely reasonable statement?

I didn't repeat myself on the second point. Either one's politics endorse intellectual property rights, which include the rights of an individual or organization to permit/limit any or all of those specific facets I mentioned previously according to their preference or one does not believe intellectual property rights exist. That's the only meaningful way I can conceive of software licenses being a political concept, but I'm welcome to hear your take.

Ladies and gentlemen...

I'm pretty sure Lemmur is essentially abandoned at this point. Jerboa is the app to use for now.

This sounds like one of those deals where the picture orientation is being determined by metadata that may be getting stripped when you post. I would file an issue on GitHub and include a sample image, if possible.

We're getting into an area where religious beliefs are less defined for me than my political beliefs lol. I'll gladly share my political beliefs on this topic, but I can offer even less assurance of consensus with fellow Satanists on this.

I personally believe in clearly defined free speech zones and I do not believe school should qualify as one. There have to be rules against harassment, hate speech, and proselytizing in places that people have no choice but to be (and the possibility of home schooling or private schooling does not preclude this right because those are not available to all).

Free speech zones should be limited to the public square (public property, parks, sidewalks, etc). There've been many debates about whether social media sites should become mandated free speech zones and I personally think that is a really bad idea. We need to be able to choose not to be harassed in our personal areas both in real life and online.

Unfortunately, we have to let bigots be able to speak freely both in their personal spaces and in the public square (within reasonable constraints, no credible threats of violence obviously). They have the right to free speech and all we can do is walk away or drown them out in public.

Revisiting the whole idea of offense, I think there are really 2 broad categories. There are willfull acts of offense and unintended offense. The first category could be shouting slurs at people, attacking someone's character, engaging in general emotional bullying, etc. The second could include, for example, offending someone by simply existing and living out one's life in public (LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC individuals, atheists, and Satanists are a few examples). The first kind of offensiveness is rarely warranted. The second kind is unavoidable for people who want to live normal lives amongst pearl clutching haters. To the haters, I say suck it up.

Previously, I mentioned the tenets should be understood holistically and Tenet VI is a great example to look at:

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

I think this ties into the topic of offense at least as far as a Satanist is concerned because it encourages us to try to make amends if we offend someone without justification.

So TL/DR on the topic of offense, I believe the tenets encourage us not to do it without a good reason, but also not to encroach on others' right to offend within reasonable limits.

That's interesting. I'm guessing here, but is that because votes from blocked servers aren't federated? I feel like having different vote totals depending on which server you're on is a little strange, but maybe it makes sense 🤷

Stuxnet itself doesn't care whose centrifuges it destroys (in fact it doesn't care or have an awareness that it's destroying anything at all), it does what it's programmed to do and is deployed to do by people with political goals. It's not the same thing as Stuxnet itself being political.

I did say that I could conceive of one way that software licenses could be considered somewhat political if one's politics reject the validity of intellectual property. But then again, the software licenses are also not the code itself. If one doesn't believe in the concept of intellectual property, one is free to accept whatever risk is involved with breaking the license and using it anyway. The software doesn't care who's running it.

I know this is all somewhat pedantic, but I pretty firmly believe no software is inherently political. At least maybe not until we have a computer system that achieves some form of sentience and its operating instructions are subject to its own will.

I guess I technically used XMPP for years if we're counting that. Started using Matrix chat a couple years ago. Joined Mastodon/Pixelfed as soon as Musk announced his plans to acquire Twitter, but I don't use it a lot at the moment. Now Lemmy as of 10 days ago. Fediverse or bust!

Looks like somebody has, but no posts for 2 years lol

Ick, keep my Twitter-like services and Reddit-like services apart lol. And unless I'm compelled with a strong real life reason, it's Fediverse socials or bust for me going forward, I think.

Quick, we need to get the /r/wallstreetbets folks in here to tell us how not to read it!

I'm pretty certain this is a bug and one that's going to be resolved soon if I'm reading the github PR's and commits correctly.

Edit, and by resolved I mean I believe it should be consistent throughout the app. Some people actually like the different font sizes, though, and they might be out of luck.

You're not alone. Even if we're not afraid of direct professional/social consequences for being out about it, most of us don't think religion is something that's important to share with other people outside our Satanic circles unless they're curious and want to know more.

Yeah, the other one that I see now actually appears to be Global Order of Satan, which is an offshoot of TST from what I understand.

To be clear, you're not going to get definitive answers from anyone on canonical meanings for the tenets because they're open to interpretation. They were written fairly broadly by design to accommodate various worldviews (and likely to be interesting to discuss).

For me, Tenet IV which talks about the freedom of others to offend is not a paradox. You have every right to remove yourself from the company of those who are offending you, but they in turn have the right to be offensive. Now, that is not to say that people who choose to offend are absolved of the consequences of their actions. In our Satanic social circles for example, if people are offensive, they are removed and are free to go be offensive elsewhere. Therefore, the personal choice to offend as a Satanist is one that must be taken deliberately. I see this tenet as a caution against pushing for restrictive free speech in the public square lest we lose our own free speech which may, through no direct intent of our own, offend people like fundamentalist Christians, for example.

Tenet II which is about the struggle for justice has been kicked around a lot in discussions. The other part of the wording that people ponder is the meaning of "prevail". There are obviously various meanings for both of those words. Justice could be moral justice, social justice, legal justice... I've seen some people question if it even means retributive/vigilante justice and I think that's obviously a bridge too far and incompatible with the rest of the tenets, which are meant to be understood holistically. As far as "prevail" goes, I interpret it to be more of a synonym for "guide" or "inspire" than "supercede".
