The problem with passkeys is that they’re essentially a halfway house to a password manager, but tied to a specific platform in ways that aren’t obvious to a user at all, and liable to easily leave them unable to access of their accounts.

Agreed, in its current state I wouldn‘t teach someone less technically inclined to solely rely on passkeys saved by the default platform if you plan on using different devices, it just leads to trouble.

If you’re going to teach someone how to deal with all of this, and all the potential pitfalls that might lock them out of your service, you almost might as well teach them how to use a cross-platform password manager

Using a password manager is still the solution. Pick one where your passkeys can be safed and most of the authors problems are solved.

The only thing that remains is how to log in if you are not on a device you own (and don’t have the password manager). The author mentions it: the QR code approach for cross device sign in. I don’t think it’s cumbersome, i think it’s actually a great and foolproof way to sign in. I have yet to find a website which implements it though.

Thanks for the link! Learned something new today.

I had the same idea a while back and was wondering why no one has implemented something like this yet. This seems like an actual useful application for LLMs.

I am using Zotero (Citation Management Software) to collect scientific Articles I have read. Sometimes I forget in which Article I read about something specific. A search, where you could describe what you are looking for in a sentence, which then returns the Article with the relevant part, would be a gamechanger.

What does Ente mean?

In Malayalam, Vishnu’s native language, “ente” means “mine”. Thus “Ente Photos” has the literal meaning “my photos”.

This was a good name, but still Vishnu looked around for better ones. But one day, he discovered that “ente” means “duck” in German. This unexpected connection sealed the deal. We should ask him why he likes ducks so much, but apparently he does, so this dual meaning (“mine” / “duck”) led him to finalize the name, and also led to the adoption of “Ducky”, Ente’s mascot Source

The dual root partitions we described in Deepin 20.5 are gone, but version 23 still sets up a moderately complex partitioning scheme, including an EFI system partition, a 1.5 GB /boot partition, a swap partition, and a 15 GB root partition, and the rest of the disk given to a partition labeled _dde_data. All are in plain old ext4 format, but there’s some magic being done with the data partition that we didn’t have time to trace. It appears to be mounted at multiple places, including /home, /var, /opt, and a mount point called /persistent beneath them all. We’re not sure exactly how it’s been done, but the distro has some kind of atomic installation facility with rollback.

Lack of proper documentation by Deepins Devs is enough of a red flag for me to never consider trying it.

It‘s not only about using the tpm to unlock the FDE, you should be able to do that on every distro with systemd-cryptenroll. The part that is new, is the the measuring of the systems integrity. It’s a way to ensure that the firmware has not been tampered with, the boot loader is the one that was installed and has not been replaced, that the kernel is exactly the one that comes from the distribution, that the kernel command line is the one that we expect, and that the initrd that is used does not contain any extra binary that we do not control.

Saying that I dont trust a homophobe is not “sharing my political opinions”. The lives of gay people may be affected by politics (just as we all are), but that doesn’t mean homophobia (or being against homophobia) is a political opinion.

I couldn’t agree more with you👍🏼

I find it rather repulsive, that people would label “being against gay marriage” as “only holding an opinion”. It makes it seem so harmless. It is depriving people of the same rights that heterosexuals have. And that is why it might matter to people. It’s not just “any” opinion, like a view on how the economy should be regulated, where one could definitely argue about. But a view, which would deprive people of the same rights that others have, is not a valid opinion to have. There is no way that it can be respected. It’s the paradox of tolerance

In a comment further down you write the following: (Edit: the comment has since been removed by a mod)

You have the right to have a liberal opinion so why not let people have their own? It’s like discrimination of black people at this point.

Which is quite ironic. You try to defend holding an opinion, which would discriminate against a certain group by not giving them the same rights. You argue that it’s discrimination to not respect their discrimination. In essence you ask the tolerant to respect the views of intolerant.
