  • Lemmy is beta software. One of the updates around the 0.19.0 mark (we’re up to 0.19.5 now, with 0.19.6 around the corner) changed the login stuff. I don’t remember the details, but instead of locking everyone out of their accounts, 2FA was disabled. The lemmy.world admins didn’t choose this, it’s just how the update worked.

    I don’t know what kind of communication or sticky posts were used during the upgrade, but I’m sure some people missed it, including OP.








  • I’m a fan of the Flatpak trend. The latest version of Linux Mint has some interesting additions to how things are presented, as far as “verified” and “not verified”. Basically their app installer program lets you know if a particular Flatpak should be treated with caution, sort of like downloading a random .exe with Windows.

    I recently installed Manjaro with KDE Plasma, and I’d like an easier way of getting Flatpaks out of the box with it. Their solution is to install Discover alongside their own app installer. So now I have two different GUI programs to open if I want to research something to install.
