With the archiving of the pass-compatible Android Password Store application, something that could import from there might be useful for some.

I agree with you assessment. But if some of my PII was in that breach, which now joins the insane amount of other PII from past breaches, that just makes it that much harder to secure my accounts. Regardless, I believe my point still stands

What irritates me the most is that, while a lot of sites allow for hardware tokens for MFA, my banks do not. Not a single one of my financial institutions support FIDO or anything like it, opting instead for SMS if they have anything at all

True, but from what I understand France and Germany quite often get their way in the EU.

The EU doesn't seem to shy about forcing Apple or Google to do things, so I don't think it's a size thing.

I've heard this argument before about casinos, but never lottery tickets. I'm not sure I personally buy that, but let's go with it. If they're entertaining, then presumably it's from the thrill of maybe winning. W

That's antithetical to capitalism and consumerism. Not to mention human nature. While I agree with you in principle, I don't know how one would even start to effect any change here at a societal level. Especially when it's im

People have a tendency to think they're special, that they won't (or will) be the outlier. Gambling, unprotected sex, etc. We're not great at risk evaluation/comparison. But hey, without this, our public schools wouldn&#

I miss British humor. This doesn't seem like something that would ever happen today.

Well it's a helluva lot faster to make for one. For two, just about everyone knows how to navigate in vscode by now. Reducing the barrier of entry has obvious advantages.

At least they tried something different/interesting with 3. It might not have felt like a PS game but it was unique I guess. I still think they made up for it with 4 though.
