  1. The biggest coup for Meta and co. is that everyone refers to their platforms as ‘social media’, even though there’s nothing social about them. Genuine social media platforms, such as the Fediverse, are dismissed as ‘nerdy’ by comparison.

    Maybe a functioning digital public sphere simply has to be nerdy rather than ‘social’.

  2. Der größte Coup von Meta und Co. ist, dass ihre Plattformen von allen als „Social Media” bezeichnet werden, obwohl sie nichts Soziales an sich haben. Echte soziale Medien wie das Fediverse werden hingegen als Nerd-Plattformen bezeichnet.

    Vielleicht muss eine funktionierende digitale Öffentlichkeit einfach nerdig und nicht „sozial“ sein.

  3. Tried to configure proper #2FA on my company's service provider site, as it's set to SMS as default. Found just one button to "configure authenticator app". It displays #QRcode without any code to manually copy.
    Not good, my preferred interface for #YubicoAuthenticator is cli, because I want to properly set touch and touch in it currently works weirdly in phone app.

    So my nerdy ass scanned that code using generic barcode scanner on phone, copied revealed URL containing secret, pasted it to Markor file which was later copied via #Syncthing to my work laptop :blobCat_giggle:

    I just cannot use things as intended...
