Well again, the claim was that somehow passkeys would stop Lemmy from being flooded by bots.
So in that situation, we aren’t talking about hacking. We are simply talking about if a login could be triggered programmatically. So if Lemmy required passkeys to be used instead of passwords. And if the passkeys required scanning a QR code to sign in. I imagine It would provide minimal disruption to an automated login.
Now if the passkeys somehow enforced a real human to do something that only a human could do, then yes it would stop an automated login. However if it’s possible to automate then it wouldn’t stop bots.

Oh I don’t know what it is, sorry I thought I made that clear. But a quick search by on the internet said it was basically 2fa with a qr code and since the issue was how it would protect Lemmy from. Bots I just thought it wouldn’t be hard for a not to read a qr code.

Oh, you can easily bypass passkeys with automation. Don’t even need an image recognition model, just a QR-code scanner like
zbarimg.But i never tried googles passkey feature since it never seemed as secure as a 48 char computer generated password. So I’m not sure exactly how it works.

What would you propose replace passwords to not be susceptible to those things?
I personally like how secure and non intrusive passwords are, especially when using a self hosted password manager synced with git.

True. I think it depends if pasta is the main or just a side dish. But weighing spaghetti on a scale is pretty cumbersome. I’m just imagining the infomercial of some guy knocking the plate off the scale and then spaghetti is all over the floor saying there’s got to be a better way and then another guy comes up, and rips off his shirt to reveal his spaghetti portoner nipple ring.

I think I would prefer a simple nipple piercing pasta portioner, cause I always have a hard time figuring out how much to cook.

A Mossberg 500 is less than the cost of a midrange smart phone, about $500 new. You can deck it out like with that Streamlight TL Racker flashlight pictured and other accessories too for like another $200-300 and it would still be cheaper than an iphone.

- Comment on "Border Czar" Tom Homan unveils new deportation plan 2 months ago:
Having a restricted form of birthright citizenship is not the same as having no form of it. However there are more countries then I thought that do not have it at all.
At present, 33 countries in the world (and two territories) have unrestricted birthright citizenship, also known as jus soli, and another 32 nations have some form of restricted birthright citizenship
- Comment on "Border Czar" Tom Homan unveils new deportation plan 2 months ago:
The families - who potentially have young children born in America - will be told to decide for themselves whether to exit the country together or be broken up.
That sounds like a weird way to say that they will be deporting US citizens.

I have also heard decent arguments for translation although in most cases it would still be better to learn the language or use a professional translator.
