This is probably older than a lot of the folks here on Lemmy

I think I started with Mint 13. After hopping around for years I'm now on Debian.

I recommend Mint to people in general. It's perfect for most people. We shouldn't be required to learn about everything in the world.

I don't expect anyone to become a mechanic just because they need a car. If that were a requirement then most people would just not get a car. It's also okay to continue driving and never becoming a mechanic later.

Sounds like someone is little bit cranky. You've been using proprietary software, haven't you? It's all right. Try this. It'll help.

Exactly. So for example if you are browsing [email protected] and see a post that is marked "video" you can tap that and continue to browse [email protected] while only seeing posts marked with "video". That is how it works in Infinity which is what Eternity is based on.

You can open it by tapping the thumbnail.

If that does not work you can go to Settings, Miscellaneous, Link Handler and then choose External App.

This year I've gotten about four that match what you describe. Before that I got maybe ten that were supposed to look like just normal people. Some of them often followed eachother.

They have all been on mastodon.social, which is what I first noticed and found weird. Personally I'm on a small and niche server being run by a dude in his garage. I barely have any followers and don't post much. There's not many ways to just randomly discover me on Mastodon.

Off topic but what's the name of the app you are using for Lemmy?

Tesla has always had problems with quality. In an attempt to increase profit and decrease production time Tesla has sacrificed quality control.

Many customers feel the need to do it themselves. So many do this that there are even people making money of it.

Tesla has always been like this. That's why they have mostly been cheap compared to competition.

In Norway we have both. I think it's a nice balanced solution.

Lots of these apps let you export the entire vault as a file. I use this to import it on other devices. I currently have it on my phone (Aegis) and my pc (OTPClient) and is very satisfied with the experience.

I also have encrypted backups on a USB flash drive, an external HDD and five separate cloud services. I trust this solution.

In practice, yes. IF IMPLEMENTED PROPERLY it would be extremely unlikely for an attacker to get in.

For example with a proper implementation of TOTP it would require an attacker to guess the correct number between 0 and 999999 in less than half a minute. Most services make you wait a little bit (often less than humans notice) between attempts and don't allow infinite attempts, so an attacker would have to be unimaginably lucky.

There are sadly lots of huge companies that DON'T IMPLEMENT 2FA PROPERLY. Sony Entertainment (account for PlayStation) for example. So a unique and long password is still important.

I really like 2FA as long as it's TOTP and I can use an offline app or program for it. It just works and is very easy and secure.
