passkeys are a great idea, but poorly implemented

by dariosalvi78 8mo ago
the problem so far is UI and incompatibility across devices, OSes etc. I am a big fan of Passkeys and the idea of using PRF for E2E encryption, but I wouldn't implement that as now, there is almost zero control over where those passkey

To me the most interesting aspect of all of this Trump shitshow is that the US, always brought as an example of "well designed democracy with it's checks and balances" is showing very clearly that it's a banana Republic

I would say that it's not just useful, it should be a basic right. In my case as an EU citizen, Swedish citizenship gives me little more than I already have (voting rights, easier to get passport), but for those who come from outside t

It's clear to me that you don't have the experience of being an immigrant. There is nothing "normal" in expecting to renounce to a previous citizenship if you gain another one [1]. As an Italian citizen living in Sweden

but rules for citizenship are all different and are being made harder and harder because, well, that's what sells today. Also some countries (cough, Germany, cough) have incredibly stupid rules where you have to give up your own citize

there should be a uniform system, something like that if you have lived in one country and have paid taxes there (fiscal residency) for more than X years you should be able to vote local elections. A EU citizen living in the UK for long eno

Trump and Putin are giving a golden opportunity to revive European integration. Alas, nationalistic populism with a badly hidden sympathy for the US (on the right) and Russia (on the left) seems to catch more votes these days.

in a world where "alternative facts" rule, this is just a natural conclusion

that is simply untrue. China, for as bad as it has historically been in terms of environment, it has invested waaaay more than anybody else in clean energy [1]. It's a game we are all in together and things are moving forward, albeit t

which is why retaliating with import tariffs is the exact opposite of what should be done, but go tell politicians that they need to give up their dick measuring games...

Local, middle class owners can own how many empty flats? 1%? 10%? Of course I don't have a number, but I'd bet that if you remove the mega-owners, that 30% would drop significantly. Airbnb was not a bad idea, but it has been perve

by dariosalvi78 10mo ago
The main issue with Airbnb is that a few companies own a huge percentage of the flats. It's a big, unregulated, industry without any responsibility that is driving regular hotels out of business and locals out of their neighbouhoods. O
