Passkeys rely on you holding a private key. The initial design was that a device (like a browser or computer/phone) stored the private key in a TPM-protected manner, but you can also store it in a password manager.

This is more secure than a password because of the way private/public key encryption works. Your device receives a challenge encrypted with the public key, decrypts with the private key and then responds. The private key is never revealed, so if attackers get the public key they can’t do shit with it.

Just be sure that your private key is safe (use a strong master password for your PM vault) and your passkey can’t be stolen by hacking of a website.

Mick Gordon is in? I’m in.

And yet you’re still here

This take is riddled with naivety.

Not only will Meta read, train AI on, aggregate and datamine, and correlate this data with your real identity, but when Meta announces that “the easiest way to be on the fediverse is to just use Threads” then all the people who avoided Mastodon because it was “too complicated” to sign up, all the people who are basically already signed up because they scroll Insta all day, will go with Threads instead of spreading the load out.

As smaller instances start to drop off under the load, under the lack of interest as threads grows and they shrink, merely mirroring the traffic of a centralized corporate entity, users start to flock to threads for its reliability and speed.

Then Meta pulls the plug, since “no one really used this ActivityPub thing anyway, it was too technical”.

Threads isn’t about beating “X” (lol X is in a death spiral, it’s only a matter of time), it’s about ensuring the Fediverse never rises up.

See what happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

Processes that run on the same system can run as different users (including kernel) which is used for privilege separation. This can still allow a program in userland to peer into otherwise restricted system processes or the kernel. Every system is a “multi-user” system, even if there is only a single human user.

Something hilarious that I discovered: If you still have an old copy of Alien Blue on your phone, it still works. Haven’t tried all the functions but I guess the API key must be the same as the official app (since they bought it and just started working on it).

I’m staying off reddit because my big mad protest will surely convince a corporation not to ruin itself by having no decent plan to become profitable (ha), but if you’re looking to still browse with a not shitty app it might still be working lol

Hey i got yelled at for telling someone not to go hard on reddit tropes, so let’s do some instead to make up for it:

The CVS receipt of the Internet

Maybe read the comment again? Reddit was a wealth of actual information and solutions to weird problems that can’t be dug up from FAQs and product support pages; links to old driver downloads, tutorials on how to get different software to work together in ways that the devs don’t really have time to support, etc. and that’s just for software. I’d image it’s the same for many other hobbies; hell, industries even.

Now comments are deleted, people with knowledge aren’t posting as much, and (yes, purely out of spite) i’m not logging in so a lot of that discussion is now inaccessible to me (and many others).

So despite your incorrect assumption that I’m bootlicking for reddit corpo, it’s the opposite. I’m pissed at those assholes for taking the time to create something valuable to pretty much anyone online and then just cutting it off. Find a better way to become profitable.

Something of value was lost.

Am a reddit refuge. Not trying to push anyone out, but we have the chance to change the old ways before they take hold here.

Also, as I stated in my post, I think that something of great value was lost. reddit was valuable. I still get reddit links in most of the things i search for (actually, it feels like even more now) for basically any specific computer or technology questions I’m looking into. Half the time it’s deleted, half the time I can’t see the thread without logging in and I’d really rather stand my ground.

So yeah, for better or for worse, the internet just experienced some big-ass brain drain. I’d say that was something of value.

Fuck /u/spez though

Agree with all except the “righteousness mixed with hypocrisy” - I didn’t whip out “and nothing of value was lost” or “this”. Complaining on the internet isn’t a reddit trope, it’s been around since the beginning.

And now that I read my comment again, i remember that stupid comic with the crow doing standup and goddamnit i’ve been reddit brained

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

OP:

I run Arch btw

Yeah, parler, gab, and voat…

This. I love the science SpaceX is doing. I love the EV momentum Tesla created (even if their own products are proving to be less than stellar, no pun intended).

Musk is a huge tool though.

If “Xitter” is pronounced “shitter” then I can finally get behind the rebrand

Right? The protest was just the lighter. Now we watch as the fuse burns. Fuck off Gizmodo, Reddit didn’t win shit yet

Yeah, Linux users have always had a blind spot for dependency hell when talking about freedom of choice.

Snap seemed like a cool idea until I tried it

Lol straight up told on himself live in the comments

Uninstalling the entire kubuntu package, while reverting to “core Debian” and then installing the Ubuntu package would be more complicated and time-consuming than installing a new OS.

Just partition off your /home and a reinstall won’t be that big a deal.
