Same but my current job…

Granted. They switched us all to the app instead of the hard token. Which is stupid. And they only allow the hard token for certain scenarios

Interesting timing for this to pop into my feed now, since I just finished listening to the Masters of Doom audiobook the other day. Highly recommend for those who having read or listened

Reminds me of a final exam in university (engineering course) where the Prof said we could use one double sided sheet. I wrote it in red and blue pen and brought 3D glasses. It was helpful for duplicate things with different info like some tables. I barely used it, but I thought it was clever and funny

This is crazy talk. You can do that? How do more people not know about this. That’s wild.

Amazing movie

Mi scusi

Not a great angle, but this is my trusty commuter (and only bike…). This past fall I started commuting year round, and am loving it. I abused it a little over the winter with the snow and salt, but it now has a new drivetrain…

I honestly don’t like Gwent. Maybe never got into it enough.

This was a great episode, and was great to hear this way to use trucks…

I’m super worried they’re not gonna do rocky well. I think the appropriate thing would be to use subtitles, however I doubt normal people would be into that

I just poked on the demo and I think it could, however it might be a bit clunky. Maybe could be a viable thing to request of the dev. Maybe alongside a donation for a sort of bounty.

For the android users, just gonna put this here

I think it’s gonna end up being bad. Mainly because most people are gonna hear on Fox News that this was due to some flaw in Signal, and just take that at face value. A lot of people are not gonna even read an article about why or what even happened.

Just wanna be clear that this didn’t happen because of some technical flaw/vulnerability in Signal. This was completely Human Error

My first thought as well. “Weird they were allowing it before…”

I think the point they’re making is you can effectively have a self hosted non federated option with Matrix. Just disable federation as a whole (which I’m pretty sure is completely possible. Given companies use matrix for comms, and might not want federation, for similar reasons to what is being discussed here)

Don’t have a good rec to add to the discussion of hardware, but I would love to give a shoutout to GadgetBridge, which is an Open Source Android app that is a vendorless alternative to controlling lots of smart wearables (and other gadgets). It doesn’t currently have Polar support, but seems that might be fairly easy to implement, since polar publishes their SDK online (and presumably the protocol with which it communicates).

Why would it make sense? Currently on Android, RCS isn’t a system level thing like SMS is. So Signal won’t easily be able to pull it in. Unless they implement their own implementation of RCS and the Universal Profile.
