I've been asked what Mastodon client I use on my Android phone. It's the web app's mobile view in Firefox.
When I have the choice, I ALWAYS prefer the mobile-web version even if an app has more functionality. Most apps spy on their users, and my mobile browser is pretty well locked down to prevent that.

The real question is, why are there no gaps in YOUR resume?

Weeks after Ohio rail derailment, President Biden has no plans to visit https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-02-26/biden-east-palestine-railroad-derailment (Me: I have had it with crap headlines... The Mayor asked him not to visit... plenty of working agency heads have since... Mayor said a Presidential visit is not needed... they are getting the help they need!)
I just got around to reading this today, and it is probably one of the best articles I have read in a while. If you disagree with it, feel free to shun me!

Hhas anyone managed to make #SSH auth work with yubikeys, #FIDO2, and the *no-touch-required* option? (i.e., without having to touch the #yubikey upon connection). It's still eluding me…
PS yes, I've both created the key with "-O no-touch-required" and added "no-touch-required" to authorized_keys, still nothing…

2. Extremist beliefs
3. Isolation from society
4. Veneration of an individual.
CULT CATEGORIES: Doomsday, Political, Religious, & Sex. An additional group bordering on cult territory is LGATs (Large Group Awareness Trainings), which typically fall under "human potential" or "self-awareness," such as the infamous NXIVM cult. #criticalthinking #cults
