I'm not against physical keys at all. I have one on my keychain. I'm against making things hard to maintain ourselves. Being dependent on Apple and Google to agree before we can ow…

Why is a password manager a "service" it should really just be a program and as many encrypted backups as you want. Maybe you pay for them to host those backups, but that's a choic…

How is this easier than just using a password manager? Why not standardize the password input mechanism so they reliably update, etc. I feel like all of the security of passkeys co…

Bug tech isn't a single entity. But I strongly believe a different group would have finished this obvious gap by now.

It's ao comically bad it proves the while thing is a joke unless you're trusting Apple or Google to sync and back them up for you. One cynical angle at why the backup is being slow…

It's not functionally equivalent, but it is a workaround, but requires doing it on every site (if they allow it) and it cannot be freely moved and re-backed up offline from the sit…

Have we standardized a way to backup and export passkeys yet? Do websites commonly allow multiple passkeys to be registered?

I feel like if you're scared of rebasing, you don't actually understand git.

Not using big_space :(

It doesn't and I never said anything about preferences directly. There are however culture wars, and they cause problems throughout the industry and discipline.

Culture wars are sadly one of the biggest inhibitors of progress throughout all of technology.

If they make cars irritating enough, people might give up the joy of driving and pivot to more economical transit modes. I have mixed feelings about this, and I doubt the car compa…

I was originally excited by the flat design revolution because it appealed to my affinity with uniformity and consistency. But I believe now that I was ignorant and lazy. Bad desig…

If a thinking machine can find new mathematical proofs we haven't thought of yet, it might also find new medicines and other things that really do make it worth finding a way to li…

Google was never immune to spitting out junk BTW. Like I said, if you can't see the value in AI, I'd hedge a bet you haven't tried. Even a brief conversation with google's can help…

I think it's worth understanding the technology so we can have informed strategies for how to best regulate it. We don't solve the climate crisis by abandoning all the technologica…

Haha, yes 100% I've had the same thought.

I recently learned the term "thought-terminating cliché" and it's so incredibly prevalent in society these days. Always has been I'm sure, but short form text based anonymous commu…

I'm so frustrated by both the zealous AI bulls and the blind AI opposition. There's a lot of issues, ranging over technical, cultural, environmental, and moral problems. But there'…

What makes you say that exactly?

It didn't have a good sync story when I checked last.

I swear I watched this Keynote before when they announced Apple Intelligence. Then proceeded to deliver nothing. Apple is so lost it makes me really sad.

Not at all.

I'm (slowly) working on a version controlled local-first password manager for exactly this reason.

Apple Passwords reliably updates passwords in its database before the password is confirmed to be actually changed. I've been locked out of accounts many times to this. They really…
