Affinity is great

Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.

That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.

The vote is today, the propaganda war has been ongoing for years

Exactly.

Ultimately I’m pro passkey but when it comes to password managers: if the hash of your vault is easy to crack you’ve fucked up big time. There shouldn’t be any way to crack that key with current tech before the sun explodes because you should be using a high entropy passphrase.

Never forget that technologically speaking you’re nothing like the average user. Only 1 in 3 users use password managers. Most people just remember 1 password and use it everywhere (or some other similarly weak setup).

Not remembering passwords is a huge boon for most users, and passkeys are a very simple and secure way of handling it.

Passkeys are an ancient authentication setup, have always been better than passwords and are finally getting traction.

You can share passwords without the server seeing them. Many managers don’t but there’s nothing infeasible there. You just have a password to unlock the manager. Done.

That’s not entirely true: sacrificial anodes attract and collect calcium and magnesium as well as preventing rust.

Honestly for a multinational corp operating at the scale they operate that’s a pretty good report card. They look like boy scouts compared with Nestle, Coca cola etc

No mention of paying for death squads, no forced child slavery …

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t boycott, just that there’s a sliding scale and if you have to choose a Nestle product or a Unilever one is less evil.

Climate disasters are not affecting the world equally everywhere. Hurricanes are far and away the most destructive climate related disaster and they disproportionately affect Florida of all US states

Florida is uninsurable, that’s kinda the issue.

There’s a reason so many big insurance companies have left Florida. And honestly I don’t really want even more Federal money going to rebuild in the most common path of ever rising hurricane intensity.

I want Federal funds set aside to move people out of Florida in homes elsewhere for those who want it. If you want to rebuild your house in the path of the hurricane you can do it on your own dime.

Well that’s all the convincing I need tbh

I don’t keep up with my country music memes - what’s this one?

Damn that’s wild reading this from an app

That’s less an endorsement of PWAs and more a condemnation of how garbage the native app always was.

I really expected it to say colonial for some reason

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It’s not entirely off base about Russia.
