Tangent comment: https://i.imgur.com/Xm1qRI4.png Does anybody know why the comments under this post are like that, at least for me? Is there a particular reason why people from Myanmar (some with latin name?) would comment this much more than any other?

Probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag

That video doesn't seem particularly relevant to the question; it talks about fake likes, but makes the point that those fake users don't engage with the content at all.

It's from 2014. Fake likes could also do fake comments now, it's also a metric used for engagement.

The 2FA code generation has always worked perfectly for me for the past year (or two?) that I've had it enabled

I have to admit to being quite startled. But I just get "Security code was invalid. Please try again". I've tried again several times. I'll see if setting it up on the website works.

FWIW I could successfully configure 2fa on the desktop, which works fine on mobile,

Cool, glad it worked

I had a lot of problems with Yubico Authenticator. Wound up switching back to a generic app.

What problems? I used to not have any, but since a short time it has issues with unlocking when I get NFC connection. I have to restart it sometimes.

Yeah the NFC on my Yubico has burnt out. Or something. Regardless, Yubico Authenticator just flat-out didn't work for me. I got it running, loaded some codes, and then the codes didn't work again. It was like it lost synchronization with the server clock or something. I had the same issues on Android and MacOS. Maybe I could have sorted it, but I lost interest before finding a definitive fix.
