Thank you! There are so many vocal people out there screaming "if it's not designed around my preferences, it's shit". People I certainly I wouldn't want on my engineering team.
Of course they're not perfect for every single scenario and there's stuff we could (and we are) improving.
The more nerds (I identify as a nerd!) complain about passkeys, the more I’m confident in their success.
Just read a comment objecting to a passkey being automatically created for them. “Dark pattern!!1!1 Should be optional!!”
No regular user wants to think about auth.
for the official record, with Sam Stephenson’s contribution — we’ve fully resolved this matter over on Mastodon: indieweb.social/@sstephenson...
RIP YouTube
I have similar feelings with Canada. There's just no good gelato here, and it makes me miss Argentina where you can find one in virtually every corner.
I got some business cards with braille on them on top of the regular print. Since I can't read them, somebody suggested using Gemini to verify the text.
Gemini said there it was "a beautiful poem", and hallucinated third rate poetry.
(I ended up looking a braille table and yes, they were fine.)
FWIW, I like the UI you implemented! If it lets you code something which you otherwise wouldn't have, then that's always a good thing. More options to do stuff is a good thing.
I thought I had misread you.

...why. just why.
I'm sorry, a what loan now?
I got bit by the #homeautomation bug and see projects in every room of my house.
So far I think I've managed to keep everything to actual quality of life improvements rather than doing it for technology's sake, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it's been fun.
Kitchener charges me a fortune in property taxes... So I have to hike to work during winter and can't cycle because they only plow roads
It's the most stupid policy I live with. It should be obvious that having machinery doing that work is way more efficient than residents with shovels.
Idk why this reminded me of a classic interaction with my mom
"You've spent too much time on the computer, shut it off"
"Ok I'm reading a book instead"
"No, do something else"
The problem was not doing what she would have done when she was a (very different) kid and society was also very different
- Say "wheeee!" When taking off.
28/ The moral of this story, to me, is that western neocons and leftists are both extremely problematic.
They are moralistic and condescending, all thinking they know what is best for people and countries they don’t know anything about.
Happy new year EST friends!
It's... not great, saying that if you lose your device you're boned. Sigh.
Computerphile has a video on passkeys!

A photo of a bookshelf. Posted on it is a note, with arrows pointing in three directions. The left reads “dirigibles”, and “erotica” to the right. The bottom arrows read “military strategy & theory”.
For the majority of users, the defaults on their platform work fine. You don't have to understand any of this to use passkeys!
But you asked :)
Despite LastPass screwing the pooch, password managers remain the best option to keep your accounts secure.
The only option to use "passkeys" without a password manager are security keys, small hardware devices. These have some usability issues and they don't sync, but they are portable.
However, every website should let you register multiple passkeys for the same account. For example, you can have one on Windows Hello, one on Google Password Manager, and another on Apple Passwords.
Then no matter which device you're in, you can sign in with a passkey
There are two options that tend to confuse users:
1) windows hello "passkeys" don't sync, and you can't use them with the QR code.
2) there's an option on chrome on mac to store passkeys "on the chrome profile". Those don't sync and don't support the qr code.
Sometimes you don't use the same password manager or you are on someone else's device.
In that case, if your passkey is on a phone, you can use it on the other device by scanning a qr code. Usually done by following the prompts to "use another device"
Passkeys sync between your devices if you use the same password manager on both.
For example, if you use chrome and Google Password Manager on Windows, your passkeys should sync to your Android phone if you're signed in with the same account.
Lit HTML v3 is delightfully simple. I'm starting to like it a lot for chromium's webui.
It's on my todo list since @kenrb.bsky.social mentioned it but I'm afraid a lot of it may go over my head :P
Same here!
Terrified of the app designer that makes shift enter a "send" keybind.
A fantastic piece by @theglobeandmail.com on thalidomide survivors in Canada, and how a special government pension massively improved their lives. These stories are why I'm subscribed to it.
