Passkeys may not be for you, but they are safe and easy—here’s why

Answering common questions about how passkeys work.

sorry, but i am never going to watch a video over reading an article unless i am trying to unclog a drain or toilet

Amazon: We're going to improve everyone's lives by pioneering “frustration-free packaging”

Also Amazon: We're going to shrink-wrap 9V batteries just to fuck with you.

@timbray Another recommendation here for Ted Lasso and Shrinking, they are fantastic.

I am seldom overtly political here, but I want to say a thing out loud.

A right to bodily autonomy isn't conditioned on being a rape or incest survivor. We must not create special circumstances when we recognize a woman's right to avail herself of family planning services or medical care.

It's her body. The decisions are hers, in consultation she takes with her doctor, and influenced, to the extent she elects, by her partner.

That's it.

Identical philosophy applies to trans folks.

2) you kind of have to be one of *those* vets. A vetbro, who demands the constant fawning and thanks. Who never served in vietnam but will talk about vets being spit on as if they were one of them. You know the type.

Without those two things, you really never hear that phrase, which is fine with me. You want to thank vets or at least this one, be more like Mekka.

@mekkaokereke @jackbrewster what’s funny about “thank you for your service” is that it requires two things:

1) that people know you’re a vet. Unless I tell someone, they’d only know from me talking about B-1’s or flightline shit. I don’t wear unit caps, or “veteran” hat, I don’t have bumper stickers or license plate holders or what have you.

O'Reilly Radar gave the Fediverse a shout-out!

They note that the Fediverse is on pace to match Twitter's scale.

But they also question whether the industry pundits will ever take the Fediverse seriously since it lacks billionaire or VC funding.

Fine by me.

Let the pundits write their long thinkpieces on NFTs and AI and all the other bullshit that powers tech hype cycles.

As for me, I'm here for actual and tangible technological change.

@mekkaokereke my kids' spring break just began. For me this means I don't have to wake up at 730 every morning for the week to bring them into school. Everyone gets to sleep in!
