A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Oh boy. I think I'm really out of my depth here. I just downloaded Element and was fiddling with it a bit and found it to be kind of confusing. Maybe I oughta just stick with Signal despite centralization and signalcoin. Would be nice to be able to get SMS on the desktop tho, so I don't have to go hunting for my phone everytime I have to do 2FA (which, admittedly, is not that often). In any event, thanks to @wxboss@lemmy.sdf.org & @GlowingLantern@feddit.de.
What did you find confusing about Element? The most confusing part for most people is the federation but since you're on Lemmy, I assume that's not the case for you.
I'm gettin' old, and it's an "old dog new tricks" type thing. However, I've still got it installed and probably just need to fiddle around with it some more. Getting Mrs. Hedge and my peeps to switch is going to be tough tho, hence me asking about the Signal bridge . . . Are "rooms" the same as "groups"?
Why do you want them to switch from Signal? Federation? Other than that Signal's great. Idk specifically about Signal bridge but I'm in a room with Telegram and IRC bridged and both bridges work pretty well. The room was bridged to XMPP as well but XMPP bridge was weird (resent random messages sometimes) so we removed it. Give it a try though and if possible tell me how it works? I'm curious :p
Automatically forwarding the SMS to the desktop, could turn that 2FA into 1FA.
How can I do that? KDE Connect is one option I'm looking at
