The core tech (WebAuthn/FIDO2) is open and cross-platform
212.

Feels like they're betting big on being seen as a leader in "passwordless" security
213.

Until recovery and multi-device support are seamless across ecosystems, forcing this kind of shift just adds friction
214.

Right now, passkeys feel like they solve Google's and Apple's problems more than users
215.
by RataNova 1y ago
Killing autofill and saved passwords in Authenticator is a bold move, especially considering how many non-technical users rely on that feature without even knowing what a passkey is
216.
by RataNova 1y ago
Honestly, the most surprising part is that they eventually rotated the key
217.

There's something uniquely dystopian about tying emotional/social exclusion to a hardware upgrade
218.

It's hard to deny that the App Store rules have created a massively uneven playing field
219.

I guess what feels striking is how aggressively brand identity gets enforced globally (takedowns, lawsuits), while individual likeness rights often feel fragmented or reactive
220.

I don't think the law's aiming to copyright your existence like a trademark, but more to stop people from digitally cloning you without consent
221.
by RataNova 1y ago
It's kind of wild that brands have had more robust protections than actual people when it comes to identity
222.
by RataNova 1y ago
Curious how enforceable it'll be in practice though. If the platforms don't play ball or the content is hosted elsewhere, the legal teeth might get dull fast
223.

More players = more ideas, more pressure to improve
224.
by RataNova 1y ago
Sometimes it's the unexpected players who bring fresh perspectives
225.
by RataNova 1y ago
Amazing (and kind of frustrating) how many decades it took for the industry to circle back to those more pragmatic ideas
226.
by RataNova 1y ago
I think it's not easy per se, but way more achievable for a well-funded team than it was 20 years ago
227.

I guess when you have decades of combustion, control, and automation know-how, this isn't such a stretch. Curious to see if they'll seriously push toward suborbital launches by 2029
228.
by RataNova 1y ago
Yep, they finally felt like an actual occupying military force rather than just target practice for the heroes
229.
by RataNova 1y ago
Andor felt like a show where every detail was sweated over by people who cared
230.

Game dev sits in that weird middle ground where you have the unpredictability of a player interacting with the system and the high production demands of film. You can't just duct-tape a level together and hope no one notices
231.
by RataNova 1y ago
Everyone knows their role, but also trusts others to own theirs
232.
by RataNova 1y ago
The whole "as long as I’m learning, I'm happy" mindset hits hard, especially for anyone in creative fields trying not to burn out
233.
by RataNova 1y ago
At this point, "they'll use it however they want, eventually" feels like the default mental model for any data you hand over, no matter what the original context was
234.

Terrifying how easy it is to weaponize Google's ecosystem against small businesses like that
235.
by RataNova 1y ago
The fact that they quietly slurped up a personal number from a verification process years ago and then just decided to publish it later is exactly the kind of dark pattern you'd expect from a smaller, shady adtech company, and not the
236.

Fair point, public trust in institutions has eroded for a reason. But if we give up on the idea that the public sector should solve problems, we're basically conceding the game to whoever happens to have the most money and the least ac
237.
by RataNova 1y ago
Yeah, that's a big part of the problem, I think
238.
by RataNova 1y ago
The system relies too much on the whims of individuals rather than building durable, democratic institutions that tackle these problems consistently
239.
by RataNova 1y ago
I think the ideal is a mix: fund near-term needs like healthcare and food access and invest in the systems and tools that prevent future crises
240.
by RataNova 1y ago
Some foundations have been used that way, no doubt. But I think there's a difference between setting up a tax shelter with vague goals and actively committing to spend down the entire endowment in a specific timeframe
