Modern social media: Feed algorithm bots curating and serving up bot-created content for other bots to create fake engagement on so that advertising bots can find the real humans that still exist in the desolate wastelands and market them bot-created ads.

Some would say he’s a product of his time (thyme?)

Well, it’s a full keypair being stored: Authenticators like Bitwarden need to first provide the public key to the relying party (RP) so the RP can issue the encrypted auth challenge. The challenge then is handed back to the authenticator, user verification happens, then the challenge is signed by the private key and sent back to the RP for verification to complete the auth ceremony.

You’re thinking about “device-bound passkeys”. Bitwarden and any other third-party credential manager leverages “synced passkeys” because they don’t control the hardware.

Synced passkeys are actually called out in the FIDO Alliance’s FAQs as preferred since they more closely align with the desired replacement of traditional passwords.

It’s an interesting thought to consider that without access to centralized distribution platforms like app stores, something incredibly similar is created in its place: The so-called “super-app” (e.g. WeChat, Alipay).

No problem! Best of luck. 🙂

Have you looked at OXO’s offering? Random sample linked

Several folks hold the opinion (here’s a recent one) that the Lemmy devs, acting as primary moderators for the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances, have ignored moderation of pro-CCP, pro-communist discussion threads on those instances. This ends up being detrimental for Lemmy’s reputation overall, as:

1. Those instances have some of the highest membership numbers, and as word-of-mouth spreads will mean a lot of newcomers to Lemmy will land into those large instances
2. If the devs don’t moderate their instances a certain way, what are their motives that might bleed into the development direction that Lemmy itself will take? e.g. The devs’ opinion on how to implement a slur filter

My own personal opinion here is that as long as the devs aren’t building anything malicious or overly political into Lemmy, I don’t really care what their personal beliefs are. I work with devs all the time that have different ideological or political beliefs, that doesn’t change the quality of the code. Open-source software can be forked and modified if the Lemmy devs cross the line, and by design each instance can run their own version of the underlying software. How the Lemmy devs moderate their instances is only a reflection of their ability to act as effective moderators, which is why (again, by design) choosing your “home” instance is the most important aspect of engaging on Lemmy and the wider Fediverse.
