It’s been some years that I am not able to log in to my Google account, because I stopped using it for a very long time any Google product, and now even providing my password, they say they can not know if it is me or now…...
Yeah, GitHub spammed my mailbox asking me to add 2FA but Google no… they are asking for my Wi-Fi network. 😞 And I’m not sure if I can even provide it to them now that I can’t log in again… I will keep trying it next month…
Hahaha, right now I couldn’t use that (with social media accounts)… for now I have always seen an option to log in with “magic link” at least, which is super cool, no passwords.
Yeah right, I wish I could have some human contact to tell them “I am me”… did you find or tried to find any human support email or contact? I wonder if Google has any too…
Do you have the email address? (if they asked you that via email address) Maybe I can send them some message to unblock me, if not it’s okay.
I have already read many people have been locked too, I will need lawyers to sue that company to force leaking my personal data to be able to use my account again, and that’s not easy…
I traveled back to Los Angeles in order to log in on the same network, same laptop, correct password, but I put a new HDD in my Macbook Pro which caused Apple to re-ID the OS, and locked out!
That is so heavy… fucking Google… really… (At least I don’t get ads now that I don’t have an account)
I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die.
They know my phone number from years ago when I used it, they could send me a verification code too… There are many ways to make this secure, but they don’t even care, I read many people having stupid issues resulting in a “locked account” and losing it all…
Yeah, I didn’t know but seems this happened to many people… it’s a shame I didn’t know about this… not going to use Google for anything right now… I lost all my purchases too…
Nope, I just remember getting “google code verifications”… But I’m sure they know my phone number… xD And I want to point that they have no excuses to contact me for verifications, a simple text message would work.
Oh right, I forgot about the _nomap… but I don’t want to name my SSID like that… it’s pretty ugly name. Or maybe I can make it shorter with the name please_nomap, that would look a nice name. hahaha
And I always called my Wi-Fi networks as the same from years ago, this way my family always can get in without asking me the password. Now the permanent name will be something to make it cool with that ugly suffix… 🤮
You claim you never wanted to lose the data, yet haven’t got into that acct for years…clearly it’s nothing important.
I have all my photos and stuff from where I was young, I don’t access every day but yeah I didn’t want to lose them all. You want to make a list of everything I lost and expose here a big list of personal stuff?
Google sucks from a privacy standpoint, but has amazing security, and they need to, Googles level of paranoia with accts is literally the only way to keep accts safe, people have way too much in them. Even going back years before it was cranked up like it is now, the options to have backup email addresses, phone numbers, 2FA, all other ways to verify yourself in the event of an acct lockout.
It’s not about security, they’re just blocking me even they know where I am from, and my IPs are from the same zone, and they could message me a verification code on my phone as that never changed.
If lemmy had user-defined filters, I’d use them. Right now I’m downvoting the stuff, but there’s already a community for musk-related stuff: !EnoughMuskSpam
I started to use RSS to subscribe to Lemmy topics to be able to run my own rules to filter content that I don’t want to see. So using RSS helps a lot to not waste time on things you don’t want to see.
Adding a subscription payment isn’t tech, there are more companies than Starlink, Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX, and we aren’t posting everything that a company do, just with Twitter or Tesla because they are popular and Elon Musk a meme… Mercedes for example has better autopilot than Tesla, Porsche has better electric vehicle than Tesla, but I don’t see people posting about that every time. I think there is an excessive posting of his stuff, and he just loves to get fame. I suppose that’s why he does stupid and crazy nonsense stuff like naming a good and popular brand name as Twitter to X… it’s like destroying all what was already built just to keep his name on news.
Only if they become spammy, I suppose. I already sent you this video where explains how Elon Musk is just re-inventing things that already exists, but what he’s doing with Twitter seems like a 15 years old kid playing with his new toy… and isn’t really doing anything interesting or new to society.
The product itself (the code) may be considered tech but the company’s/employee’s/executive’s business/personal/anything outside of the product dealings shouldn’t be. If running a website makes any information related to you tech related then literally every company is a tech company.
Or what you are expecting to get? Just say it yourself already and stop asking to people…
I’m just saying that asking that to people makes no sense, just say what you want to say… we aren’t here to define what is what but to share our thoughts I suppose… So don’t ask me those stuff and just say your opinion or teach us with your knowledge…
Yeah right, but you aren’t saying it at all, you’re just making it long and asking people what is tech… And other people are already telling that anything can be tech too… So the “ban musk spam” is mainly because those news aren’t actually any interesting. And I suppose when they say “social media is not tech” they are talking about that they are using tech infrastructures and methods, but the communication between people isn’t a tech stuff.
Ok sorry, reading it now seems you’re trying to relate the “telecommunication” with “social interaction” which could be done physically in person. Is that? Or what you wanted to say with that Wikipedia link?
Windows as a software package would have never been affordable to individuals or local-level orgs in countries like India and Bangladesh (especially in the 2000’s) that are now powerhouses of IT. Same for many SE Asian, Eastern European, African and LatinoAmerican countries as well....
I don’t mind talking about Windows, Apple or Linux, but when someone says Linux is just for a “toast”… makes me think of how many devices runs Linux and not only toasters which I’m sure they also do if there is some screen display or Wi-Fi features.
I don’t understand, you mean you are doing more than me because you are pointing us that they are the “poorest souls” and that they live in a bad situation?

Well I use a lot an app that isn’t compatible with Wayland, they already said they will work with that so if they take much longer I will just need to find an alternative… that I’m sure there will be one. I want to use Wayland because yeah, it’s great, and I love using it, but I can’t as the app I use daily isn’t compatible. I suppose not everyone uses the same apps… And that’s also why I said I will stop using it if they don’t start with the support to Wayland. 🙂
Project goals
…
… We will also have our eye on Wayland when the time comes.
Seems they still aren’t compatible with Wayland… that’s why I said if in 2 years none of they still don’t support Wayland… I’m sure there will be another tool (“Barrier” for example) that supports it and will be the time to move on to another software.
@Swiggles commented that the Input Leap Project (a fork from Barrier from the active developers) already supports Wayland (I still need to mess with it). And Synergy (I think) uses Barrier, or it’s a Barrier fork also. So I will need to switch to Input Leap if I want to use it right now with Wayland! 🙂
