The complete podcast (and transcript!) of Microsoft’s history and business strategy.

@potatoes_fall As a vegan and a fediverse user I have to say I am not sure this is the calculus I make. Vegan food is delicious and so is the fediverse. It is not a sacrifice. What is really required is having enough self-introspection to realize to resist the FOMO that someone might be having it better than you. If your food is delicious is that not enough? Does it have to be as delicious as someone else's food? The fediverse satisfies my needs. I do not see it as a sacrifice.

@thurrott . My understanding is that MS plans to release ‘device-bound’ passkey support in Azure AD in public preview in January 2024 ->

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/fundamentals/whats-new#public-preview---device-bound-passkeys-as-an-authentication-method

Passkeys should be easier for enterprises to adopt and are full FIDO strength. The thing I don't understand is why MS does not make authenticator a FIDO strength credential like they did for WHFB.

Terms

A list of terms which are used frequently throughout this site and in discussions about passkeys, FIDO2, and WebAuthn.

@thurrott Great article. Speaking of authentication doesn't Apple Passkey have better replay resistance? Any word on when we are going to get Azure AD support for Apple Passkeys?

@Wheresatom Check out Lemmy. There is a decent Apollo clone at vger.app

I made the move and I am nit going back.
