Lmao, easy to steal.

What’s going the hacker to do? Cut off your fingers or extract your eyeballs? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Biometrics are NOT shit.

And the recovery process is useless if you don’g have acess to your recovery method. Passkeys create the Ouroboros kind of situation.

Yeah, also cloud providers can easily lock-in yourself, and self host is a pain in the ass and availability with that method is a problem, especially if where you live there are problems with the power supply (even if you use battery equipment it can be a problem if you go many hours without electric service).

Download statistics for every app (which is neat because that can indirectly tell me how good is an app), also it shows the reproducible builds’ status for every app, allows you to directly scan an app through Exodus so you can have a detailed view of its possible trackers, also it lets you blocklist apps (althought I’d love it to let me blocklist authors too, and the UX is a bit slow for now as it requires you to go throught the settings to be able to do it), the y have a reasonably big amount of preconfigured repos and make the process of adding new repos way easier than other clients, their UI is just beautiful and now they made it hugely customizable, and they have so many QOL features that’s a breeze to use.

Honestly idk, but I hope they’d were.

For some people that really need that, even less than one dollar is too much. $20 is basically matter of life or death.

I think that part of the antinuclear sentiment, while it’s in part irrational, has something to do with a very rational fear: whe have longly seen the devastating effects of nuclear accidents. From Chernobyl to Tōkai-mura, and from there to Fukushima.

While theoretically the human risks are reduced to almost zero, the natural risks hadn’t run the same luck.

Also, I feel that for the renewables, one big deal that we’re missing are the microenergy leaks (although in Japan they’re already beginning to take advantage of these, with for example piezoelectric roads, or water heating systems that at the same time generate residual electricity, or Peltier heaters and/or coolers that as they acclimatize also generate complementary amounts of energy).

Nuclear’s also too risky in case of a natural disaster (i.e., an earthquake or a flood).

Looks to the East

Isn’t it, Japan?

The main problem is if that you lose the device that’s physically attached to the passkey… You’ll lose your account.

I’d just prefer a biometrics-first approach.

Unless hackers started cutting people’s fingers, which is something just too risky for a rational hacker to do so it’s more than improbable, biometrics are way more secure, consistent, battle-tested and most important, more convenient and, by design, unforgettable.

No, Passkeys are generated on device against a public key on the server side. If you lose the device where you created your local, private key, then you lose access to everything. Also there’s FIDO (and implementations as YubiKey and NitroKey).

Looks at the 99% who can’t afford a VPS

You’re forgetting the most important thing

Laughs in RPN

But even if so, they ban you from the official server when you use some client as Molly or Flare. It’s pretty useless then to use them if you’ll have to self host, something that for Signal is pure cancer, thus in practice that’s equivalent to banning third party clients.

Based.

“Nooo, but XMMP and Matrix can be so hard for normies”

Ewww… Not actually, that’s only if the client has a horrible UX, but Conversations and Cheogram for XMPP and idk, Extera Next or Sable Next for Matrix are pretty straightforward for that.

Other P2P networks too.

Long live to Soulseek, eMule/ed2k, IPFS, Iroh, Retroshare, Tox and the like.

You thought I was the Great China’s Firewall but it was me, the Tiny USA’s Waterwall!

Oh no, gtfo Skynet! 💀

That’s fair.

Although reproducible builds are something I truly love because these make auditing so much easy.

Lmao, it can be achieved in better ways; they can just use a ZKP FLOSS captcha (such as Anubis, but adapted for native apps, there are some), or manual verification (such as most XMPP or Matrix instances, and even more general online services providers such as Disroot [this one uses Anubis AND manual email verification for the signup process, then only Anubis]).

They’re shady asf, and now are being exclusionary towards these who can’t pay? Hell naw, fuck 'em

What the hell, that account is extremely weird… It’s a troll, or a bot, and if it’s the latter, then the Threadiverse might be suffering sort of a bot invasion…
