I can’t get over the fact that the richest and most accomplished guys in Silicon Valley have decided the biggest problem facing America is too many non-white people getting ahead and they’re ready to burn it all down because of that.

If your prison is deliberately designed to concentrate 25-30 prisoners per cell, that is not a prison, that is a concentration camp.

If your concentration camp is deliberately designed to torture prisoners with maggot infested meals and permanent bright lights denying them sleep, that is not a concentration camp, that is a torture camp.

If your torture camp is deliberately designed in the most dangerous possible flood zone, infested by alligators and disease riddled mosquitoes, that is not a torture camp, that is a death camp.

And if you are kidnapping women and children, locking them in death camps, and live streaming their torture for money, you are not the President, you are a sadist. And you will be dealt with accordingly.

Some dangerous but frequently expressed myths spotted in the media:

Wealth trickles down from the rich.... (it doesn't);

The state is like a household & must therefore 'balance the books'.... (it isn't & doesn't);

The poor have only themselves to blame...(no, poverty is often due to external factors);

The rich got there through hard work.... (no, mostly the rich have either benefitted form inheritance or have, unacknowledged, good luck)....

Just sayin'

iOS 26 (and OSes 26 in general) add an OS-facilitated way to securely migrate your passkeys, passwords, and other data saved in one password manager app to another. The details here are super interesting and are covered in the WWDC25 video “What's new in passkeys” (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/279). The rest of this post includes a summary of part of that video and other publicly-available information. (I am not breaking any kind of news here.)

- Data is sent from one app to the other without exporting any kind of file to a filesystem. This means it can’t accidentally be accidentally uploaded to an attacker attempting to compromise one or all of your accounts.
- There’s an OS API that password manager apps call to export their data. Then, securely and out-of-process, users select which app to send the data to. They are reminded of the scope of the data, and authentication with local biometrics or their passcode to confirm sending the data.
- The destination app is not revealed to the source app.
- Remember that crappy unstandardized CSV format for migrating passwords between password managers? It’s going to be a thing of the past, because…
- The data sendable via the API is explicitly based on the “Credential Exchange Format” (https://fidoalliance.org/specifications-credential-exchange-specifications/) standard. This standard is being developed in the FIDO Alliance, the standards body working on passkeys, but the spec covers far more than passwords and passkeys. In fact, it was co-developed by 1Password, Dashlane, and others. There’s a collection of Swift structs in the SDK implementing the standard, with as few modifications as possible.
- The data format part of the API is versioned so it can evolve as the Credential Exchange Format does.

I know it’s taken some time for this to come to fruition, but I hope that delivering a phishing-resistant credential migration process based on open standards (with a credential format standardized for the first time!) makes up for the delay. As I have said since day 1, your passkey data is yours. Passkeys are not a form of “vendor lock-in”.

So my town is being raided by ICE and the National Guard right now. They blockaded a whole street and abducted everyone at a farm. All this shit is happening blocks from where my mom lives and she’s afraid to leave the house. I don’t blame her.

One of my coworkers was telling me how heartbroken she is. I told her regardless of what we do, we have to make sure we never forget. I certainly won’t.
