Solution:
System console > users > actions > switch to email/password.
It’s just extremely bad UI because it shows the member state (`Member`, `Deactivated`, …). It does not look like there’s anything related to login. Sure, the column title reads `Action` … but that can be overlooked for hours.
Just learned that you can reset password and change email there as well.

Monday!
Seems like Mattermost and GitLab now really don’t like each other anymore. Mattemost users with GitLab SSO can’t sign in anymore.
To make things worse: to me it seems that there’s no way to recover acess in the team edition. User management is behind the paywall a.k.a. enterprise feature. 😤

RE: https://mstdn.social/@leftylabourtech/117226664820385185
It's been a while since I've felt so much vicarious exasperation as I did on behalf of @pluralistic while listening to him repeatedly patiently explain to a host credulously Dunning–Kruger’ed by “AI” smoke and mirrors how one after another anthropomorphic misapprehension is not reality.
Reminds me a bit of talking with a beloved relative in a prosperity-gospel dominionist cult.
Apropos nothing, Cory, have you ever read Daniella Mestyanek Young’s The Culting of America? It has a 38-page bibliography which I’ve revisited unusually often, and which has grown my Libro.fm library quite a bit.

@VileLasagna Using any Google service is just plain irresponsible. Microsoft almost as much.

Od kiedy pamiętam, to wysyłanie gdzieś tego, co użytkownik pisze, zawsze było związane ze złośliwym oprogramowaniem a nie z "poprawą sugestii".
No, ale Microslop, tam poszczególne elementy są złośliwym oprogramowaniem.

@leftylabourtech strangely, I have lost interest in reading things with an #enshittification hashtag, because hordes of people have popularised misuse of the tag. They use it simply because it's popular, without caring about the meaning; they imagine that its use will make them popular.
That's not to imply that you're misusing it. I see the name of the tuber and I have no doubt that he knows the true meaning of the tag.
I'm just reflecting on people's twisting of the meanings of words; and the ultimate effects of this twisting.

This is an excellent (and lengthy) interview with @pluralistic on Novara Media's "Downstream". Well worth watching.

Today in #enshittification and for once it isn’t Google. Today’s corporate idiots are #apple
Turns out if you have a backup disk connected Apple Spotlight isn’t smart enough to know not to try to index your time machine backups. (Solution - open the spotlight settings, click the odd spotlight privacy button at the bottom, then add your backup disk as a location not to be indexed)
Guessing this is why my wife’s iMac was crashing and failing often

I really liked this, simple, stupid jokes, silly just about right. I don't know what WB is doing but they all retarded when they decided to can this for insurance money. Without spoilers, but plot even turns into something very topical when discussing today's companies and their products.

A lot of what I do on the #interwebs is effectively research, including specialist shopping research, including some of my #mastodon activity.
Especially over last 18 months my useful results have plummeted, with an occasional highlight, so I have been trying many different strategies, including the handy National Library near here.
Today I have changed my official search strategy to:
1. think of several likely organisations/people likely to have related information.
2. Use those resources....which for some does involve finding....including books etc already on hand or in a Library.
3. Refine....
4. ....byebye most internet searches/enginesDoes anyone know of reliable, up to date-ish internet v0.1-ish reference sites, not those ask abc sites, but lists of subject references?
