I disagree, it's an extremely myopic understanding of the world likely perpetuated by a sheltered Silicon Valley cabal. There are millions of non-technical people with jobs, where they are issued a company computer. It's conceivab

> the streamlined solution for the non technical person is that they just have their phone and it has the passkey So no one uses desktop or laptop computers anymore? Who made that decision for everyone, I wasn't consulted.

Uh I know what KeePass is and how it works. The proposed "smooth" solution is - at best - clunky and inconvenient. You've missed the forest for the trees. > You don't understand KeePass, which is fine Haha this is so

So you need three different applications and manually moving around files to achieve a "relatively smooth" experience? I don't think this is the endorsement you think it is.

The downfall of passkeys is that - as was inevitable - they are horrifyingly implemented webshit. For example, nearly every visit to my Amazon orders page I am now greeted with a nearly full screen modal browser popup letting me know about

If you think HTTPS is performing code validation I have news for you. HTTPS only guarantees the packets containing the unverified malicious code are not tampered with from the server to you. A server which could very well be compromised and

yes, fuel contamination (with effluent probably) is still very much in play as a possible factor. unfortunately, there has been a lot of typical misdirection and wild statements out of India, like trying to preemptively clear the pilots of

Yes, and they're almost exclusively used by the worst type of vindictive chickenshit humans imaginable. I've known people affected by this, whose evil neighbors used 311 as a weapon because they simply didn't like them, and c

Linux would have had strlcpy/strlcat 25 years ago but the glibc maintainer was famously being a giant chode and refused to allow "horribly inefficient BSD crap" into his precious code, and this fight went on for years: htt

It's even more damning when you realize the Windows stage 1 installation process is essentially unchanged since Vista. The Linux people had nearly 20 years to straighten this out. Installing Ubuntu bricked a Samsung laptop I had some y

The market doesn't profitably support running desktop Linux on a laptop outside of a business/development setting, in which case it's the IT department buying the laptop and I don't get to choose. Which means "this

30 years ago we could play Doom with 4 MB of RAM. Web development has devolved to the point where now you need 32 GB to view a Chinese take-out menu.

Yes. "Repairable" is a bit of a fool's errand. It really hinges on availability of spare parts, supply chain, etc. They will never sell enough of this niche product to nerds to make that a long-term reality. An old MBP is far

They kicked off the article saying that no one uses bzip2 anymore. A million cycles saved for something no one uses (according to them) is still 0% battery life saved. If modern CPUs are so power efficient and have so many spare cycles to a

A lot of this "rewrite X in Rust" stuff feels like burning your own house down so you can rebuild and paint it a different color. Counting CPU cycles as if it's an accomplishment seems irrelevant in a world where 50% of moder

It's just not a criticism I see put forth as often or as loudly. In this case, those old Windows PCs have a much better chance at a second life than a purpose-built Mac, so the criticism is largely unjustified.
