Full disclosure, I upvoted and agree with you.
Still, this leaves open the question of how you reached your idea of sensible defaults. Are these just the most popular in each category (e.g. most successful search engine, highest user-count Lemmy instance, etc.)?
Yes, we definitely need, something like pixelfed, but with commercial model.
Why?
Technically not a good choice for this community specifically. 2FAS Auth operates out of the USA. Being FOSS does change the implications of that, though.
Looks like development on AndOTP stopped ~4 years ago (July 2021). There’s definitely an “if it ain’t broke” factor, but the way Android keeps dropping support for older SDK apps, you will probably need to switch to something else eventually. I hadn’t heard of Aegis before this thread, but apparently one of its big features is support for importing from other authenticator apps (including AndOTP and Google Authenticator).
Why we throwing shade on fat legs?
I’m new, can you explain what this means? Why did they have a line through the barcode? I found the official blog post from 2013 where they pledged to stop doing it, but it doesn’t really explain why they were doing it in the first place.
German:
Die Diskussion in den letzten Wochen hat uns gezeigt, dass das Thema „Entstörung des EAN-Codes“ bei unseren Kunden sehr polarisiert.
Wir haben uns intensiv mit den Reaktionen dazu auseinandergesetzt und Informationen recherchiert. Unsere Entscheidung deshalb: Wir werden den Strich quer über den Barcode künftig nicht mehr auf die Etiketten drucken.
Wir schätzen die Rückmeldungen unserer Kunden sehr und setzen uns intensiv mit den Bedürfnissen auseinander. SONNENTOR steht für Freude und ein gutes Gefühl. Manchen unserer Kunden gibt ein Strich quer über den EAN-Code genau dieses gute Gefühl. 2007 haben wir deshalb den Strich auf den Etiketten eingeführt, ohne nähere Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema.
Aufgrund der vielen Reaktionen und unserer eigenen Einstellung haben wir uns nun bewusst gegen das „Entstören des EAN-Codes“ entschieden.
Die Umstellung wird sicherlich einige Zeit dauern. Innerhalb des nächsten Jahres sollten aber alle Produktetiketten ohne entstörten EAN-Code ausgeliefert werden.

The discussion in recent weeks has shown us that the topic of “de-interference with the EAN code” is very polarizing among our customers.
We’ve carefully considered the reactions and researched information. Our decision has therefore been this: We will no longer print the line across the barcode on our labels.
We greatly value our customers’ feedback and engage intensively with their needs. SONNENTOR stands for joy and a good feeling. For some of our customers, a line across the EAN code gives them exactly that good feeling. That’s why we introduced the line on our labels in 2007, without further consideration of the topic.
Due to the many reactions and our own attitude, we have now consciously decided against “de-jamming the EAN code”.
The transition will certainly take some time. However, within the next year, all product labels should be delivered without a suppressed EAN code.
tl;dr:
SONNENTOR stands for joy and a good feeling. For some of our customers, a line across the EAN code gives them exactly that good feeling.
Huh?
He has on several occasions offered praise to the Trump Republican Party. He quote tweeted a post from Truth Social where Trump announced his nominee for Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice:
Great pick by
@realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.
When the response to this tweet was negative, the official Reddit account doubled-down:
Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot:
Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.
Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidentally has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.
At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.
By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.
Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.
Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans are more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.
This post was then deleted with Yen claiming it was a “miscommunication” and pledging that Proton would stop offering its political opinions.
Not a criticism, but that way of phrasing it is funny to me. Makes me imagine it was like a Doctor Who episode.
SCENE: INT. OFFICE BUILDING Camera pans over standard office equipment, characters making copies, having lunch in the break room. We hold on a phone operator, female, Mediterranean appearance, mid-30s. Her name is GIANCARLA. She is engaged in a pleasant phone conversation in Italian. The other side says something which makes GIANCARLA look confused. GIANCARLA: (Italian, English subtitles) Huh? I think something's wrong with the line, I can't understand you. Is that even Italian? Wobbly blue energy wave (SFX) passes over GIANCARLA. She is now female, Asian appearance, mid-30s. Other end of phone continues speaking. GIANCARLA: (Chinese, English subtitles) That's better! Everything's back to normal, now. For a moment, it didn't even sound like you were speaking Chinese! CUE OPENING CREDITS
