Friends: I'm migrating to Mathstodon, as my interest becomes more and more theoretical rather than technical.
See you on the other side!
Caden@ShredderFeeder @Natasha_Jay the only use for a QR code I'll accept is for some sort of pairing between your phone and your computer. It's a nice way to transfer a bit of data between big-screen-no-camera and little-screen-with-camera without a preestablished connection
Colin the MathmoMy experience of the GMail app on Android is that it is complete and utter garbage. Search has never worked, sync is slow and unreliable
And now this: I'm constantly getting a popup saying:
"To continue, you'll need to take additional action"
"Your account or device settings require you to complete additional steps before using the Gmail app"
Then the only option is "Cancel"
If I hit "Cancel" then I get a notification saying:
"No actions taken. Continuing in offline mode."
And then it continues to work as it always has. Badly, admittedly, but it works(*).
It's infuriating. What am I supposed to change? Why has it changed?
When has software become so openly contemptuous of its users. There isn't even a link to a page to help me work out what's going on.
Urgh.

Paul CantrellThe idea that having a benevolent dictator forever is actually a good idea? That’s a nonsense thought rooted in the feeling that all this human stuff •isn’t even a real problem•: mushy nonsense, female-coded and thus low-status, can’t we just build good technology all day and not think about people.
(No, dumbass, you can’t, not if you actually want it to be good.)

Any developer worth their salt knows that the outputting code is the easiest part of software development, and that code as an artifact has little value without everything that surrounds it: the people, the shared knowledge, the practices (both formal and informal), the infrastructure, the networks of trust, etc etc.
And yet!! like fools, we’ve got ourselves hung up on OSS licenses and copyright — the legal structures surrounding the code itself — as if code were in fact the only thing that really matters. As if we didn’t know better.
