  • The user hasn't spoken about the genocide.

    Lmao. Did you look? Simply check their post history during the height of the anti-genocide protests.

    Every post is a direct attack against Biden and in turn a campaign ad for Trump. Feels an awful lot like a Russian propaganda agent or a closeted trump thumper, which is the same thing.

    This is just immature black-and-white and conspiratorial thinking. Pointing out that Biden is ass on Palestine and people are concerned about his age is literally just pointing to reality. These are things that people I talk to IRL are all saying.

    It's faaar from a hot take, but I guess all the people I know IRL are just pro-Trump, Russian bots, despite consistently voting democrat for as long as I've known them 🤷

    If you don't want people pointing out the glaring issues with the presumptive democratic nominee, don't bend over backward to justify the problematic nominee. The criticism and disdain isn't going to go away by ignoring it.

  • Why are you being so obtuse? Yes, the repercussions for losing to Nintendo in court are life-ruining. I said that already.

    However, continuing to let Nintendo DMCA legitimate emulation projects isn't good in the long-term either and only stalls progress for the targeted projects.

    The only way to "win" this fight is to win in court. I'm not saying that any dev should be compelled against their will to do so. It's just the only way to actually make progress. This isn't a technical problem; it's a legal one.

  • Gamers are only capable of remembering these things right up until the next first-party exclusive and new console gets announced. Then, it's right back to opening their wallets for these fuckers.

    The only way to truly win this fight is for the devs to face potentially life-ruining circumstances to fight it in court. Until then, Nintendo will continue harassing devs and killing the development progress of emulators.

  • While it's true that theism is inherently harmful, The Satanic Temple isn't a theistic organization. The problems with TST stem from the shithead that runs the org.

    Despite that, they seem to be a problematic, but necessary force to fight religious extremism in the US. I'd prefer it if other secular orgs had the same reach and capabilities, but it seems TST is the best we have at the moment.

  • There are suitable alternatives listed in other comments, but it is worth noting that none of them will support the proprietary YubiKey authentication protocol.

    This isn't a big deal if all of the applications you want to use it with support FIDO2/WebAuthn authentication, but YubiKeys support both.

  • Okay, so it's just like Yubikey-type stuff? I've thought about that before but it seems very risky - they recommend you get two and set both of them up so you have a backup, but that would require all websites to support that, right?

    Pretty much. I suppose that's a very real disadvantage to using physical passkeys. If you lose it, unless you have multiple passkeys configured, or have access to an account recovery method, you lose that account.

    But, like you mentioned, using Bitwarden would sidestep that issue, and they do support passkey emulation.

  • I'm not an expert, so this is an oversimplification, but:

    Passkeys are essentially like authenticating the same way you do via SSH, but with websites. The site will use a public key for your account. Your passkey holds the private key. That's it, as I understand it.

    The advantages are that your accounts secured by passkeys will be inherently more difficult to crack than even the most complex, random passwords and it can't be phished (if you're using a physical passkey).

    The disadvantage is that the standard is still being worked on, and bad actors (MS, Apple, Google, etc.) are eager and willing to sucker people in to using their vendor lock-in software implementations of them. If you want to avoid this, either use real, physical FIDO-capable hardware authentication keys, or use a FOSS password manager that is capable of emulating them.

  • This isn't inherent to passkeys or the standard that they use. This has to do with the configuration of the service being attacked and the fact that once you've achieved MiTM, the sky is the limit for what you can do.

    Passkeys use the same underlying protocol as hardware authentication keys (FIDO, not the YubiKey auth protocol) and should be roughly as secure and vulnerable as that type of MFA method.

  • It's a two-step process:

    1. Misuse the word "groomer" until it means "anyone that isn't strictly heterosexual" (while also taking away useful vocabulary to describe a real abuse tactic).
    2. Make cruel and unusual punishment legal for "groomers".

    Make no mistake: they want you dead. It's that simple.

  • It's almost everything. You can play most games on Linux. You can't bolt-on the quality of life features that Valve has on Windows.

    There's a reason most Steam Deck users don't install Windows on it, even though you can.
