Locally to a file?

Google Authenticator is good. The only downside can be keeping multiple phones so you have a backup. I don’t know if there’s something similar on iOS but on Android Aegis is an open source alternative that is compatible with Google Authenticator and lets you locally export your codes

It likely depends instance to instance due to how Lemmy is federated. You may want to try browsing some small communities that you enjoy and seeing if they want an extra mod.

I imagine a lot of the time they don’t feel the need to actively looking for one just yet but if the community sees a surge in people that might change in a hurry

I haven’t come across a general community for it though to answer your question

Yeah in the same remixing a song is considered original

My issue is screens cracking. I will drop a device from several feet onto concrete and nothing will happen but I’ll bump it off the couch onto carpet and half the screen is shattered

Do you feel like you ever got over the initial setup period? A lot of what you are describing is what I encounter after a fresh install but I don’t typically have any issues after a little bit of tweaking.

What laptop is it?

I once had a man very high on drugs try to sell me his shirt on the bus before calling me several slurs when I turned him down.

When I was drunk once I nearly got into a fight with a marine who was probably twice my size because he was trying to kick pigeons for fun

In 1982, the United States Border Patrol set up a roadblock and inspection point on US 1 just north of the merger of Monroe County Road 905A/Miami-Dade County Road 905A onto US 1 (they are the only two roads connecting the Florida Keys with the mainland), in front of the Last Chance Saloon just south of Florida City. Vehicles were stopped and searched for narcotics and illegal immigrants. The Key West City Council complained repeatedly about the inconvenience for travelers to and from Key West, claiming that it hurt the Keys’ important tourism industry. Eastern Air Lines, which had a hub at Miami International Airport, saw a window of opportunity when the roadblocks were established; Eastern was at the time the only airline to establish jet service to Key West International Airport, counting on travelers from Key West to Miami preferring to fly rather than to wait for police to search their vehicles.

When the city council’s complaints went unanswered by the U.S. federal government and attempts to get an injunction against the roadblock failed in court, as a form of protest Mayor Dennis Wardlow and the council declared Key West’s independence on April 23, 1982. In the eyes of the council, since the U.S. federal government had set up the equivalent of a border station as if they were a foreign nation, they might as well become one. As many of the local citizens were referred to as Conchs, the micronation took the name of the Conch Republic.

As part of the protest, Mayor Wardlow was proclaimed prime minister of the republic, which immediately declared war against the United States (symbolically breaking a loaf of stale Cuban bread over the head of a man dressed in a naval uniform), quickly surrendered after one minute (to the man in the uniform), and applied for one billion dollars in foreign aid.

Here is a neat video by Geographics that covers it

I would say pursuing a dream isn’t a bad thing as long as your end goal isn’t wealth or fame. If you learn something along the way then it’s likely worth it.

Is Railway Hosting what people are using for hosting Lemmy instances?

I don’t do much. Most of them are friends from when I was a kid but in a weird way I worry they would judge me in a disappointed kind of way with how my life is going.

Most of them have kids, spouses, or careers at this point so I don’t know if they would be willing or able to make the time

What gets me is people who park partially in the sidewalk

It’s still $400 to buy Sims 3 as well despite the game being over ten years old.

Hotline Miami 2. I’ve beat it on several platforms but I really don’t think it’s as good as the original.

Fallout 3. Mostly due to the mountain of technical issues it has on PC but even playing on console you can run into stability issues.

Also more willing to engage from what I’ve seen

Ah well that’s significantly worse than I thought

Could you claim to be making them to another wallet you personally own and making transactions from there?

Don’t you need to get Memmy through test flight as well?
