Okay, so long as a passkey is something I can memorise. Otherwise, it’s significantly worse than a regular password (assuming you use good passwords and don’t reuse passwords etc).

It seems like they want to tie it to a physical computer (like the one in your pocket), which sucks big time. What happens if I don’t have access to that computer at all times, or it breaks, or is lost?

I’m planning on getting rid of my smartphone for something that just does calls and texts for example, because I’m sick of how unhealthily reliant I, and everyone, have become on this thing, and I want to be more connected to the real world. What then?

My brain is the best place to store passkeys, it can’t be hacked, stolen, lost, etc, unlike every other option. It’s easily capable of storing lots of randomised unique passwords for each service (surely I’m not the only one that can do this?). It’s the clear winner.

Don’t worry, it’s not the Conservatives, it’s the Labour Government implementing this!

Good thing Labour will never be anything like the Tories amirite fellow chokers?

That’s depressing, but at least there were people like yourself who understood the backwards injustice of it all.

Some people and places have to be kicked and dragged into the modern day, alas.

Fascinating! Now I want a silk bonnet.

I sleep on my face, if only there were nightwear that kept my face beautiful too xD

What an interesting hat.

In a perfect world where nobody doing the hiring was ever even a little subconsciously racist, that would be perfectly reasonable, yeah.

Though that said we end up with a lot of nuance in the real world. Let’s say there’s a traditionally marginalised, opposed racial group. Let’s say times have changed somewhat and people suddenly accept them.

Well, the generational and cultural weight is still going to have a lasting effect even if times have changed, and it may be more difficult for people from that group to afford a good education, good job, good home, etc.

The point being that even if we all stopped being racist today and hired purely based on how good an employee someone will be, we’re likely still unknowingly skewing our decisions based on past social racial issues.

I’m probably not putting it very well but hopefully you get the idea! It’s probably pretty common knowledge anyway I guess haha, seems pretty obvious to me and I don’t even think about this stuff much :-)

Anyway, point is, we do still need to work as a society on ensuring diversity and fairness even when we’re not racist at all - I think the saying might be “Equity over Equality”, or such?

Obviously the USA Government are fascists, so they’re more interested in wiping out groups they don’t like, but they’re just another in a long line of evil governments that will eventually fall, no point thinking too deeply about why they’re being evil. They’ll eventually die off as all fascist regimes do. Hopefully we won’t have to fight a World War against them this time.

How is it legal to basically say “We’ll give you some money if you promise to keep the blacks out of your organisation”

Why wouldn’t we capture him and milk him for his eternal energy forever? We will power grand Gigastructures that dwarf the very stars themselves fueled by his essence! WE WILL TOUCH GOD HIMSELF!

Fuck yeah, LLMs for the LLM god! All hail the hallowed datacenter! Sacrifice the DNS!

Some sort of well organised community militia with the right to arm themselves, perhaps? Wait, that’s a great idea for addition to the Constitution, write that down!

Aye, in terms of actual numbers there was a small hard right in Germany in the 1930s…

Sometimes you can seize power as a minority if you’re sneaky and underhanded enough, or if your opponent is complacent and weak.

People are easily fooled into acting against their own interests and helping their enemies defeat them (Brexit being an obvious recent example).

Yeah it’s tiring. It seems especially prevalent on Lemmy, way more than I’ve ever seen anywhere else for some reason.

Like, I use Linux for all sorts of things, it’s great, but there are plenty of situations I use other stuff in too. Open your mouth around these folks though and all they say is “hurrdur use Linux”.

Very helpful my guy, thanks xD

I’m the author of my video content, not YouTube.

I carefully produce and render it, carefully ensuring it meets the quality level I require, and then I upload it.

I assume YouTube will transcode it, sure, but I assume they have expert engineers who have tailored the transcoding system to maintain the highest possible video quality whilst hitting whatever their filesize goals are.

At no point should AI be applied to alter the content of my video in any way, especially without my consent. That’s ridiculous.

Fuckin Cylons, man.

Who are the GOP?

To be fair, this is 2025, there’s no trustworthy data about anything any more.

Hell, you might just be an AI. Or I might just be an AI. Or maybe there wasn’t even an outage. I didn’t notice any issues, so maybe AI hallucinated it, or it’s been made up as clickbait and been second-hand reported by thousands of news sites that don’t care about fact checking any more.

Not that there are facts any more, anyway.

Murderous fascists gonna murder fascistly.

If ya liiiiiike a lotta chocolate on ya biscuit go somewhere else

That’s fuckin rad, I love satellites! So eerie and mysterious ~

A fascinating read, thanks for sharing :-)
