I am extremely pissed off that I was forced to log back in to this busted-ass site just so that I could reactivate my two-factor authentication, which was shut off because I don't pay for Twitter Blue. What, and I say this with the greatest of disrespect, the fuck.
Which, yeah, auth apps are more secure than SMS, fine, but you know what's not more secure? Just shutting off the SMS 2FA people and sending them a chirpy notice that "your 2FA has been deactivated! have a nice day!" w/o saying you can reactivate it w/a different method.
@drainbead Our cats Spock and Athena were Radar and Cookie, respectively. Athena is a gray-eyed mastermind, and Cookie does not fit her at all. Spock, however, is a big doofus who gets confused by the cat flap and is terrified of birds. Frankly neither of his names has been a good fit.
Thanks Christopher Tin for spending 1,752 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Sogno di Volare (“The Dream of Flight”). #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/H4NOBaVDLf
son, I had friends on USENET.
all these posts will be lost in time, like tears in rain. and Gen X will still be sitting over in the corner, wearing black and cracking ironic jokes about the whole thing.
@supergrrl7 @zirk I mean, I too hope something comes along that people will gravitate to as a replacement, but whatever it is, it will be something that's relatively simple to use. I hope Mastodon gets its crap figured out pretty quickly.
@scottpeachey bold of you to assume he is not already doing this. then he switches over to the front-facing camera and murmurs to himself, 'yeah, looking good.'
@hugseverycat0 I've been on discord a lot tbh. I've found some subject-specific servers (mostly around fanfic writing) that have a sense of community that reminds me a little of early 2000s message board culture. it's very different from the toxic hellstew of Twitter/FB/etc.
@supergrrl7 oh my god. this reminds me of how I used to have to tell people which specific server my email was hosted on in college in 1995. what the actual fuck.
it's @zirk.us but let's be real, if people have to know what server they're on in order for this to work, it's not gonna work.
