Welp... time to move everything from authy to bitwarden looks like
Oh, didn't know bitwarden also managed 2FA, could've saved the space from using authy. Is that a (somewhat) new feature or is it just me being blind and missing it?
Thanks a lot for the update and for the awesome instance! Signing up here was one of the better decisions I've made in a while.
Here's to many more weekly updates!
Not as hard as the pedo man would, I'd imagine
That's actually a perspective I haven't seen anywhere else or thought about it, totally agree with it. We don't really have the backing of a multi-million dollar company on our backs ourselves. (On that note, thanks dear admins, or whoever, for hosting this awesome instance, y'all rock lol)
If so, instead of waiting idly, I'd vote for going for the safer option and defederating. (Since imo, meta's presence has more power to do harm than to do good)
Quick question: Would defederating be a permanent action? Because in the best case, where we see that the joining of meta has no major negative consequences (as unbelievable as it would be, but bear with me), could we not federate once again? (And get all the benefits of what that would entail?)
(Fyi, really green federation user here)
By the time it's in a playable state we'd probably be getting a PC port lol
Both valid choices, I'm even using syncthing already, but I don't think all the messing around and setting up a whole new system is worth it atm being honest, moreso since I can just botch this and use a VPN so it works.
For now I'll put a pin on it, so I'll work on this on the future.
(Not to be that guy, the post just got me curious about it, so i looked up some more details) (Also, i rant a bit, so feel free to not read this)
Although in the article i checked, the American Academy of Opthalmology (AAO) doesn't specifically mention Dark Mode as something that reduces or increases eye strain, it does mention that lowering the brightness (or setting dark mode in your devices) does lower the amount of blue light that the screen displays, allowing you to sleep better, by not confusing your brain into thinking that it's still daytime. (Feel free to correct me on this, other places i saw about this mostly cite anecdotes about how well it worked for them, regarding their sleep cycle.)
It does later say that one of the ways to possibly reduce eye strain when using a screen for a long time is by lowering the glare and brightness, by dimming the screen or the like.
So my take would be that maybe a full pitch black/AMOLED theme could start putting more strain into your eyes, the regular dark grey-ish should be right, but eyes differ from person to person so it'd boil down to: Find a middle ground that works for you and doesn't make your eyes hurt? (Also take some time to let your eyes rest, lookup the 20-20-20 rule in the 2nd article)
(Sorry about the wall of text, i might've gotten a bit too into this)
