2018 when Microsroft acquired GitHub it was the largest competitor with similar functionality as far as I know. I used if for a few years before switching to selfhosted Forgejo because selfhosted GitLab back then was painfully annoying and complicated to setup and used enormous amounts of resources and also felt more aimed towards corporate users.

They once were a promising alternative to MS GitHub but now they’re going down the same route.

TLDR:

When reCAPTCHA flags what it considers suspicious activity, it abandons the old image puzzles and demands you scan a QR code. That scan requires Play Services running in the background, communicating with Google’s servers. If you’re using GrapheneOS or any other custom ROM that strips out Google’s software, the verification fails.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but a web browser is absolutely fine.

I wonder how they actually implement it, given that the corporation runs an advertising network.

So they use MS Teams?

AI data centers need RAM. HDDs are used for “the cloud”. 1 terabyte per user need to be stored somewhere.

If you want to open Edge without actually wanting to open it, just accidentally click on one of the advertisements in the main menu or any info area widget. Those ignore the default browser and always open Edge.

Heavy tweaking of Firefox UI (fortunately userChrome.css and user.js are still available, even if hidden in undocumented about:config options), heavy tweaking of labwc, using a custom labwc theme, tweaked GTK theme.

UI redesigns are a marketing feature for paid products because you need to give people a reason to update. (See Microsoft Windows looking different with every new major version).

Mozilla sees Firefox as a paid product (even if it isn’t) and their marketing team decides for a redesign every few actual major releases (not the bogus major releases to get the release number higher fast).

Damn, that looks absurdly ugly and even more like a foreign object on the desktop.

I hope this usability nightmare can be completely disabled or toned down so the browser looks like a native program compared to the rest of my programs.

You need to get up quick because it will be harder the longer it lasts. Once standing firmly on the ground, lean slightly forwards to shift most of the weight to the front of the foot. It never failed to help me.

Stand up as fast as possible and put your weight on that leg.

Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍

Thank you! 2FAuth looks very promising. Especially with the Android app! I need to check out the repo and history when I’m back home, though. It seems to be a one-man show.

We should make it more clear, that it is not “Mastodon is the thing” but “ActivityPub is the thing, and Mastodon is just one of many implementations”

Aegis seems to be just an app. The thing is, that I see an app as second option for accessing the data. I’d like to have a selfhosted service that is accessible independent from a device and – for convenience – has an app, too.

What a friggin’ downgrade.

The mobile version is a joke to begin with, but they’re able to make it worse with every update.
