Another exciting tech question for the Masto massive.

I need advice for Wordpress[com] assistance. I have a friend who is locked out of their site - theyve had it for a long time but recently got locked out and cant recover it bc they dont have any proof its their account. Does any Wordpress guru have a tip on how to rescue this situation?

So, Firefox ate itself today. None of my various profiles seem to restore the prior functionality. I guess it's time to try a backup restore and see what that begats.

Is there a way I can give YouTube a list of languages to _not_ auto-dub into English for me?

I speak Spanish; I don't want your shitty English translation.

I'm learning Italian; if I click on a video in Italian, it's probably for listening practice.

Passwords are a scourge foisted on elderly tech-users. :(

I just got back from a house call with a fellow who can’t remember his passwords for his email. None of his backups work. His little book of passwords, useless.

There is no support to call for help.

His only option is to create a new email and leave the other behind.

Over and over I have seen this trouble. Not always to this extent, but always the same frustration.

Passwords are elder abuse.

Anyone updated a very standard debian desktop install to Trixie, finding it unable to resolve (yes, it is DNS!).

DNS servers manually input in (stupid) default network manager graphical configuration tools (also manually set in stone in /etc/resolv.conf) can be pung... but no resolution happens...

Tech support is saying: "Tap the gay icon and then run the spimante" …?

Wait. The what? "Which icon?"

"The gay icon."

"Gay icon?" Listen, dude. I do have a gay icon or two on my phone, but I'm pretty sure they're not what you're asking me to tap. "You keep saying 'gay' icon. Could you spell it?"

"G. E. A. R."

"Oh, you mean the Settings icon, which looks like a gear." 🤬

"Yes."

"Got it. I tapped it. Now, what's this 'spimunte' thing you mentioned…?"

Urgent Android help! SOLVED using @decibyte’s advice: I used Pixel 9a spoofing profile in Aurora Store. Thank you all! 🌻

I must install the Interrail Android app in order to to activate my Interrail ticket, but Aurora Store tells me the app is not available for my device. How can I get it? I could maybe download the APK from Apkpure, but I’d use it as the last resort, since I don’t know how trustworthy it is.

I’m using a Fairphone 5 running CalyxOS 6.8.21, and Aurora Store v4.7.2, downloaded from F-Droid all features are enabled in MicroG. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Aurora

What network situation leads internet speed-test sites think a T-Mo 5G broadband connection in New Mexico is best tested with a connection to an Illinois server? (And it is — download speeds 7x faster than an Albuquerque server.) #TechSupport

OK, techies, what's the best way to migrate a MacOS Time Machine backup to a new drive? I outgrew my old drive (8TB) and want to move the backup history to my new drive (24TB).

Welp, I just got notified my last day is Friday. Now looking for a new #remote in US role in #TechSupport#CustomerService#EnterpriseSupport or related roles. Front line or leadership roles, I'm great in both. I've managed more than 60 direct reports at a time with excellent results. Dependability is my brand. Assign it and forget it. It will happen on time, under budget, exceeding expectations on quality. Highly skilled at de-escalation and knowledge management. #FediHire#GetFediHired
