  Well shit, you’re right. I must not have been paying attention when they updated them to include that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but the two tens to be correlated.

  Example, MFA authentication is a security feature, but inconvenient as shit with low or no lifetime. Same complaints about short lived sessions on app sites. Especially when every login requires MFA…

  Yeah, not voting works super great to keep the fascists out of power, just ask the American left!

  Or they’re using it as intended. I’ve had more than one account I’ve gotten by cost sharing with friends. That’s not a problem, that’s a solution.

  It’s made by kde, and for kids, so I wouldn’t expect them to release a TUI interface. Especially for mouse control or touchscreen training.

  You know that not every account is only used by a single user, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s more convenient to be insecure than secure, users will pick insecure every time. There’s a reason there are so many bad password in the top passwords in breach dumps.

  I have to tell myself every time I go through some of my login flows that inconvenience to me means more so to an attacker, but most people don’t have an adversarial mindset and just want it to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Your passkeys aren’t synced to anything, so the passkey is no different than your password hash. They’re device locked unless you use something like bitwarden, so you’re no more dependent on American mega corps than you are right this second.

  Having grown up around a lot of fundies, I’m not even remotely surprised.

  Like, the amount of fucked up shit I heard or had said to me as a kid by my very religious family, including being told at a young age that if I didn’t stop touching things at the grocery store, my grandfather was going to rip of the arm and beat me to death with the bloody stump.

  Of all the times in my life, that was definitely more than one of them.

  You don’t see any state run bread lines do you?

  You do, they’re called food pantry lines, and they tend to be run by churches in my experience

  Calling the stingy plastic tip that squishes the bugs ‘soft’ is an interesting description. But either way, still better than the multiple wooden spoons I’ve had broken over my ass.

  ProTip: Asking ‘was that supposed to hurt’ will get a second spoon broken over your ass

  That may just be my friend group of switches asking for the switch before they play switch and cuddle

  Thanks for the info. I would like to run locally if possible, but I’m not opposed to using API and just limiting what I surface.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Authors Guild Asks Supreme Court to Hold Internet Providers Accountable for Copyright Theft⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t authors/artists vs tech companies, this is rights holders vs consumers. Rights holders are trying to be able to pressure ISPs to be able to punish consumers for alleged infringements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Authors Guild Asks Supreme Court to Hold Internet Providers Accountable for Copyright Theft⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is asking for the court to decide in their favor.

  Asking to do what?

  Be able to force ISPs to cut someone’s service off without a court order, or be held liable for it.

  ISPs are already doing whatever they want without court orders.

  And the Authors guild is asking to be able to force the ISPs to do that even more under threat of legal action

  How far down the line before you wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger? Everyone here assumes we’re at the start of the line, rather than just getting picked up midway through. Not sure where I’d be able to call that myself though…

  The crubby side is to catch the sperm, the smooth side is for comfort on the vaginal wall, duh.
