  • I seem to have isolated the problem to using a link to the website on the phone’s home screen (created from FF using the “Add to Home screen” option in the three dots menu next to the address bar.

    Starting that way seems to give any session cookies a very short life and they disappear quickly (logging me out). I created a bookmark within FF and have been using that and haven’t been logged out since.

    In fact, if I use the home screen link to programming.dev, FF doesn’t think I’m logged in, but then if I use the bookmark from within that same instance of FF, it instantly sees me as already logged in.

    Very strange.



  • No, it just prevents banks, etc from checking your credit score/rating, which prevents anyone from opening a new account under your name. When YOU want to open an account, you temporarily unfreeze it for a couple days so that the institution you’re opening an account at can check, and then refreeze it.

    The credit agencies will continue monitoring how much credit you have and how well you pay your bills and adjust your score accordingly. Freezing has no effect on that.



  • I think I figured out how to reproduce it really quick.

    1. Log in to Lemmy on Firefox
    2. Switch to a different app
    3. Switch back to Firefox
    4. Reload the page.

    Poof! I’m out. I repeated the test multiple times to confirm it’s consistent. Probably actually getting kicked out on step 2. It’s like FF decides to expire the Lemmy cookies when the app loses focus.

    Armed with that info, I retested two alternate front ends on programming.dev (a. & t.) and default front end on lemmy.world and default front end on programming.drv with Brave. I was previously getting logged out on lemmy.world, but not now (maybe they updated something? Or my test is still flawed.). So, with these steps I can only reproduce it on programming.dev with the default front end on Firefox.




  • Ok, so pretty certain this is specific to my phone.

    Browsed the recommended alternate front end for as long as I could stand it. Didn’t get logged out, but I may have just not waited long enough.

    Back on normal frontend, I deleted all browsing data (cookies, etc), logged back in and then got kicked out within a few minutes.

    Rebooting the phone now. 🤞

    Update: Nope, still getting booted within a few minutes. Beyond just using a different browser, I’m out of ideas, so I’ll try that for a bit. 🤷

    Update 2: Doesn’t seem to be happening in Brave. So currently, only in FF, only on my phone, clearing cookies and rebooting did not help.

    I’m open to any more ideas.













  • Please don’t perpetuate this myth. He was tried, and found guilty, for falsifying business records to cover up payments that he made for purposes that many of his voters would find objectionable in order to hide that objectionable information from those voters to prevent them from making an informed decision and affecting an election.









  • Yeah, I want to see the TST’s tenets up there next to the commandments. That ought to stimulate some interesting discussions.

    For those not familiar,

    One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

    The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

    One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

    The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

    Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

    People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

    Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
