This is a great writeup of the continuing failure of passkeys to meet their potential. It demonstrates the gordian knot:

1. the ecosystem is confusing due to the plethora of different interacting layers
2. therefore, to simplify, every vendor attempts to own as many layers as they can, obscuring other vendors' tools
3. therefore, users are confused into thinking that passkeys are platform-specific, because their platform vendor is obscuring alternatives

We don't really have a tradition for #sloe #gin in Denmark, but the past two years I've been experimenting a bit with making it myself. It's super easy and a delicious treat just in time for Christmas.

In October you pick the sloe berries, then you freeze them for a couple of days. Add them to a jar with some gin - don't use shit gin, but you don't have to spend a lot either.

When Christmas is around the corner, you filter the by-now dark red gin from the berries using a cloth. Then you mix with a simple syrup to taste and bottle.

In my case I had 1.2 L of sloe gin after filtering, and I boiled 2½ dl sugar with 2½ dl water.

The end result is a strong, aromatic, ruby red gin with some sweetness to it. Enjoy it as is - as a kind of strong liqueur - or mix in drinks in place of regular gin. Your drinks will be pretty-pink and fragrant :)
