I did that when they leaked my phone number to hackers, as happened to other millions of users. Using authy is a security threat

I think a few more details are needed to get you a clear alternative:

• Which devices you want to cast from? what content you want to cast (DRM content like netflix, and/or your own media)? what kind of TV you have?

In my case after degoogling, I use mainly apple devices besides my windows pc. 2 of my TVs have AirPlay built in, so there’s no issue casting anything. If your TV is rather recent it’s likely to have it too.

The third TV is tricky, it’s an older 4k LG. I have a linux box connected to it and installed UxPlay in it. It only works with AirPlay “mirroring” so you kinda need an app that can treat the TV as a second monitor. Otherwise the mirroring won’t cover the entire TV screen. I’m still assuming apple devices here, but there’s OutPlayer and nPlayer in the appstore that can do this. It does support sound-only casting, so if it’s music you want it should be able to direct cast from your apps.

The second caveat for UxPlay is that it only works with DRM-free content (youtube, self hosted media). For DRM content I haven’t found a nice alternative for the old TV , so I use its built in apps (netflix, amazon prime). Kodi exists, but the plug-ins support for streaming sites isn’t good, often getting stuck to low-res content.

I’m guessing buying an apple tv/fire stick/roku is the only alternative for DRM content casting. I also explored the idea of “degoogling” my unused chromecast 3rd gen, but absolutely nothing exists for this and it just collects dust in a drawer.

Now that authy has fucked us over with this, what should I move my 2fa codes into, any recommendations?

Unfortunately I can’t use aegis on iOS/windows, does keepass have this functionality?

I usually find reasons to keep using microsoft products, but right now it’s the first time I’m seriously considering ditching all my microsoft services for FOSS and move to linux.

It’s gonna take a lot of effort and time migrating everything I use, but taking literal screenshots of your PC sounds fucking creepy, no matter how they sugar coat it. It’s like someone else literally watching all you do.

Usually you know they get your data, but now they want exactly what you are seeing and exactly what you are doing, taking it right out of your screen. It’s literal and plain spyware.

I have degoogled for a few years already, now I guess it’s microsoft’s turn.

I recommend Okular for PDF reading. No ads, no upsells, no BS. It also has native dark mode

You can just use crypto for its intended purpose and not give a shit about the whole culture around it. I frequently use it to buy gift cards not available in my country, a VPN, and pay securely without giving away all my data.

The real issue is people coming and bastardizing the concept by trying to get rich, and treating it as some kind of gambling machine.

He didn’t say “i don’t believe in crypto because it’s a scam” he said “I don’t believe in crypto, except on its use as a scam” so it’d be great to hear why.

Youtube is one of those things you can’t avoid in practice. So if you don’t like it what do you do? do you just miss out on most existing video content?

Same, I’d take it any day over VLC because of native dark mode. VLC’s themes are janky and weird-looking.

Reminds me when foldable smartphones first came out. If you touched them wrong the screen got fucked.

This is a common pattern in content creators. As they grow their goals shift into running a production machine that maximizes earnings, throwing away any values or standards they started with.

Just look at LTT/LMG. It’s not gonna get better, so you could watch someone else who still values things other than money.

The same Linus who can’t be arsed to spend $500 of various people’s time to properly test a product is now telling us what to do?

I’ve never given money to roku, and now I’ll never will

If the team is finding out that their job ends on the same day, it’s totally Google’s doing, and not the vendor company.

Google loves cheap, disposable workers, that why half of their workers are contractors.

This is a bigger issue to leave it to users imo. Like lemm.ee admin said a few months ago, threads is too fucking big.

Anything they push on the fediverse will be what users see in All. Plus, popular stuff on threads is determined through Facebook’s algorithm, and it will also determine the fediverse recommendations by consequence.

The above is solvable if you block them I guess, but by default it will completely ruin everything.

However, lemmy 0.19 block feature doesn’t work on users of an instance, only posts hosted in an instance. Add to this that Facebook is a cancerous company making all its money from ads. Expect their bots to comment and make posts pushing ads on all instances.

All of this will also mean high workload on mods to regulate the content. Threads doesn’t bring anything good here, and defederation is probably the only way to protect us.

It’s usable, but instances now deal with frequent rate-limits and you’ll see 429 errors quite often.

I’m using voyager on my iphone just fine. This is for my old ipad (ipad 4, iOS 10.3.4).

I have built some flutter apps with an older version of xcode & flutter and they work just fine. Guess it was worth a try asking here.

Thanks for letting me know, appreciate it! I like voyager a lot btw

Wefwef doesnt work, as it needs a newer webkit version to run. Legacy devices are completely left out of lemmy except for mlmym web app (which mirrors old.reddit).

I thought elon was supposed to be smart

You forget that many simply don’t care, like me. I stopped using anything google for a reason. Their services are usually lower quality than alternatives, might get shut down tomorrow, paying them doesn’t stop your data from being milked, and they continually look for ways to make the internet worse. You’re supporting the biggest ads company here…

I pay for 3+ streaming services, and all of them offer me a better deal than yt. It’s not about paying for me. It’s simply not worth it for my low use of the platform. I only ever look at my 20 subscriptions and my watch later playlist. Until that goes away I will block ads.

I’m just waiting for the next platform to pop up, it’s gonna happen sooner or later and hopefully isn’t cancer…
