Risks associated with linking Amazon Prime and Epic Games accounts (I know, I know...) (beehaw.org)

I'm mightily tempted, finally, by this month's Prime subscription's giveaway of the game KeyWe, which requires Epic Games account-linking.

I'm not really sure of what data risk to expect should I finally expose my real Amazon account to Epic Games (which is pretty much a dummy account that I've only been using to collect their giveaways ever since they began). I have refused to link accounts all these months so far. What do you think?

Best Android spreadsheet editor? (beehaw.org)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Dymonika@beehaw.org to c/foss@beehaw.org

I tried Collabora on a Galaxy Droid and it was such a massively buggy disappointment: in a .ODS file, I couldn't backspace more than once; I could only delete one character at a time. I had to enter another character or move the cursor or do something else before it would take another backspace. I don't understand how this app has as high reviews as it does, or no one has used its spreadsheet editor.

I so far can't get away from Google Drive because tables are absolutely critical to my work... Any ideas to help de-Google would be deeply appreciated!

Update: The search continues, as ONLYOFFICE did not work out either and similarly had file-editing problems. For now, I've resorted to .TXTs...

Their website says to get it on F-Droid: https://molly.im/download/fdroid/

But it's not on there. Did it get delisted for some reason?

How's your week going, Beehaw? by Dymonika in c/chat@beehaw.org

I'm onto borrowing a bunch of sci-fi movies (like Blade Runner) from the library after realizing that it carries them!

And I'm thinking of giving in and posting in /r/cf4cf, finally... not sure of what the equivalent community might be in the Lemmiverse...

How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub? by Dymonika in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I don’t love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone

For anything? Why not? Surely you don't believe SMS-based TOTP is safer, right?

I wonder if it survives because its bizarre appearance makes predators too confused to consider eating it, haha.

How do you handle your passwords? (beehaw.org)

I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from... a spreadsheet...) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I'm not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files' local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or something. I'm curious about how others handle theirs. Thanks in advance for sharing!

This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don't know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don't have a recovery CD or anything like that. I'd also need to back up everything first... which would be a pain...

Why is this post in the FOSS community? This is more about culture than technology. 🤨

Is there a giant-font app to display text landscape on your phone to other people for easier viewing? (beehaw.org)

Like, to quickly show a reader how a name is spelled for paperwork, etc. Something that makes the text take up the entire size of the screen or something like that.

Is there any Android keylogger available in existence? (beehaw.org)

I sometimes lose typed text due to form issues, accidental edits/deletions, etc. and am really interested in any running keylogger for Android phones. Thanks for any help or ideas!

Wow, the attacks here are unbelievably disappointing. Why would I lie about this? Has none of you ever lost any typed text ever? Someone even had the audacity to say it exists but refuse to say where...

Off-topic: why do you tag the user whose comment you're directly responding to? Others, sure, but the parent comment already gets a notification of your response.

If we could get autonomous drones, I would have one hold up an umbrella to shield me from the sun at all times as I walk around, lol!

Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts by Dymonika in c/technology@beehaw.org

For a moment, I misread this as "tech positions" and got excited about a job board on here.

The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens next by Dymonika in c/technology@beehaw.org
[-] Dymonika@beehaw.org 18 points 1 year ago

It's ironic how I heard from a Facebook employee that the staff members of Facebook have their own internal Facebook network, and it functions a lot more closely like how Facebook was originally supposed to be designed—versus the public model's cesspool of marketing, ads, privacy violations, and manipulation that is the only one we now all know.
