Haha I was going to say 2fa but it’s pretty common these days to have SMS or email based 2FA (I’d argue it isn’t a second factor of the something you know, something you have, something you are factors - SMS is insecure and email is something you know (email password) which is the same kind of factor as the password you’re using to log in to whatever other account).

Microsoft and Google also both have apps that you can confirm logins with, which is closer to a second factor but many people will have this 2FA without realising it. Hence why I specifically mentioned TOTP authentication.

I am confident PHP is different now! I think it was version 3 or 4 when I was using it, they are up to 8 now (plus all the minor releases in the middle). As well as frameworks like Laravel that either didn’t exist or I didn’t know about at the time I was playing in that space.

But also I think people like what they know. You probably won’t convince people familiar with alternative backends that PHP is better, because whether the way PHP does it is good or not, the thing we like best is what’s familiar to us.

That’s not quite their position. They believe the OSI decides what counts as Open Source based on what benefits big tech who fund them. Basically, they think it’s wrong to argue that something cannot be considered open source unless Google is allowed to use the free labour of contributers without restriction or payment.

They talk more about it here and here.

Personally I don’t have a side in this fight but nothing I have seen has made me shy away from using their products.

I find it a bit hard to track what made it from election promise to coalition agreement, but I’m pretty sure there was a promise to add 500 new police staff. Which will be hard if they can’t attract anyone to the role.

I like music. You can put the phone down and still hear the constant “still on hold” sound, when it stops you know it’s being answered.

Given to me it’s a tool for that purpose, the actual music doesn’t really matter as long as it’s constant and lound enough. Probably best not to be any music I like, I’m never waiting on hold for good reasons so best not to associate songs I like with a bad experience.

Yeah lots of cool stuff. You can use Muzei and the Muzei APOD plugin to automatically change your background each day.

This is a question about the app Boost, and I haven’t found a setting for it. But on the Lemmy website (which might flow through to the app) you can select which languages to see in your user settings.

The problem is that 99% of people are not setting a language for their post or comment, so it’s left as Undefined and so can’t be filtered out.

Immich joined FUTO, and FUTO’s model is that their stuff costs money but if you haven’t paid you’re not restricted.

A bit weird but they (FUTO) are trying to experiment with a new model.

Haha wow, 1000 pages with no structure 😆

Haha yeah Yahoo. I think more technical people often forget that others move at a slower pace. I had this discussion at work recently, no I don’t believe the average person has a TOTP Authenticator app on their phone. Yes probably everyone in our project does, maybe everyone on Lemmy does. But I’d put money on less that half the population (even of just those with smart phones) having one. And it may well be 1/4 or less.

We did the kiwi/kiwifruit thing last time, but last time we did one thing, then another next to it, then another. This time we started with one cohesive image, then built on it, so I think it worked out really well.

We had a starting template, linked in the previous post here.

Lots of improvising, though!
