Third-party password managers handle passkeys well and sync across all devices. Though they are technically less secure than a hardware-based implementation with a secure enclave, practically it doesn’t matter and the spec actually recommends syncable passkeys in most cases. The passkey protocol differentiates between portable and device-bound passkeys, with decice-bound only recommended for the highest level of security and not for personal use.

On mobile, password managers like Bitwarden to Keepass2Android are able to act as your OS-level passkey provider. On desktop, most password managers rely on browser extensions, but Keepass can plug into the OS-provider with the right plugin.

The problem with passkeys rn is that every services uses the in addition to passwords, but they’re supposed to be a complete replacement for them. Adding a second, albeit more secure, login method doesn’t improve security. It slightly reduces it by increasing the attack surface. I’d love to see more places allowing you to use a passkey in lieu of a password.

That, and to your point, the user experience is heavily reliant on the password manager, which 99% of people don’t put any thought into and vendors have put in no effort to make things easy to use or understand.

Try less than 1 month. LLMs are undeniably cheaper than human developers. That is, until the human developers all leave the industry and LLMs are able to name their price.

SS contributions have a cap because SS payouts have a cap and the payout is proportional to what you paid in.

The contribution cap is a popular talking point, but they always ignore that you’d also need to increase the payout cap, so it’s not exactly a silver bullet.

You want Democrats to earn your vote by fixing things before giving them the power to do so? The ACA is legitimately one of the best pieces of legislation the US has ever passed, though I agree M4A would have been way better. M4A doesn’t exactly drum up support though, and half the country absolutely loathed the ACA when it was new.

FDR was president during the Great Depression and WWII. A just war may be the single most effective approval-rating-boosted there is, especially when it helps ease the greatest recession the country has ever seen. Let’s pray it doesn’t come to that for the Democrats to gain support.

Chuck and Jeffries are likely out, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they stay since Democrats do love the old guard.

Congress can’t just pull out of Iran. It’s already an illegal war that is unapproved by Congress and funded by accounts allocated for unrelated things. To this date, Congress has not provided the Pentagon with any funding for Iran beyond their usual budget. The Pentagon has asked for hundreds of billions, but the war isn’t popular with either party. Democrats can’t enact monumental change on a budget of $0 and the best they can do to force withdrawal would be to pass a resolution, which would require a veto-proof majority they will not have. That said, they can keep the budget as low as possible and apply pressure in other ways, like a government shutdown when the time comes to approve a new budget, but they are far from able to end the war unilaterally. I agree Dems dropped the ball hard in the last government shutdown.

Impeaching Trump is arguably a fools errand at this point. They don’t have the votes to remove him from office and nobody cared about the last two impeachments. It’d be nice, but it takes time and effort that could be allocated to more useful endeavors. Investigating and imprisoning as many of these grifters as possible would be bliss. Not sure how feasible that is. Not sure if Dems will try.

All in all, yeah, Democrats could be more exciting. But when they are given power, good things happen and we are all better for it. It’s beneficial to set expectations by what is actually feasible rather then get all bent up that Dems didn’t give us a post-scarcity utopia last year when they haven’t had the governmental controll necessary to do so in decades and we elected a dementia-riddled fascist as president, then use that as an excuse to not vote for them in the next election. That’s a large part of how we ended up here in the first place.

I agree with you, we are not done yet. Though, I feel obligated to call this out since voter apathy is a tool loved by fascists.

Fascists do just get voted out. Somewhat regularly, even. Look at Brazil this past month. Voting is one of the best weapons against fascism. That’s why fascists target elections so heavily and pour billions into campaigning until they reach Putin levels and can stop having legitimate elections entirely.

You can pick apart the semantics and say fascists argue, try a shitty coup, flee the country, run their relatives, etc etc, but ultimately voting is an extremely effective tool against fascism and often the only practical way to stop them.

To add to this, in the next congress Democrats will hold a majority in the House and Senate, but not a veto-proof majority. Federally, do not expect Democrats to improve much in the next 2 years, they simply do not have the power to enact major change without the Presidency. They will, however, grind the open corruption and ransacking of the country to a snails pace for the rest of Trumps term, which is a massive boon. Republicans will play this up during the next campaign cycle saying Democrats did nothing, but “nothing” is a whole lot better than the nosedive we are currently in.

In the next 2 years, improvements driven from the Democrats will come from the state level. States with new Democrat governors and local politicians will see great things.

But, Democrats did impeach Trump… twice. They couldn’t remove him from office because that requires a supermajority in the senate.

The fact of the matter is, the federal government is structured so that very little change is possible unless one party holds the majority of the House and Senate and has the Presidency.

That only happened for two years under Biden. And the Senate “majority” was a 50-50 split, so they were vulnerable to Republican filibuster and so even a single senator defecting (Manchin and Sinema) could derail a bill. Even so, we got some good things like the Inflation Reduction Act, which is the largest investment the US has ever made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, codifying same-sex marriage into law, and more.

The last time Democrats had a filibuster-proof supermajority was under Obama, and it only lasted for 72 working days. In less than three months, Democrats passed the ACA. While US healthcare is still abhorent, it cannot be understated how utterly massive of a step forward the ACA was and continues to be. Lifetime maximums and pre-existing conditions gone. Kids keeping their parents insurance until they turn 26. Full coverage of preventative care. Prenatal care. Contraceptives. Seriously, read your insurance policy and just about everything on it is only covered because it is legally mandated by the ACA. Sometimes, it gets lazy and will even say “does not cover xyz, except where legally required by the ACA”.

Democrats are not going to magically fix everything when voters don’t give them the power to do so, and giving Republicans power every other election does not help.

That only works for Republicans because it takes virtually no effort to flail around breaking shit but an immense amount of effort to build something worthwhile.

Also, dems still have little power to enact change without the presidency. Not that they have no power, but don’t expect a bunch of new laws or reversed executive orders within the next two years. The biggest win is Republicans’ ability to continue breaking shit is now greatly diminished.

That’s quite the auto balance. If Texas stays blu, it’s game over for red.

That’s an understatement, even. The top states for electoral college vote counts goes: CA 54, TX 40, FL 30, NY 28, and the rest with less than 20 each, most with less than 10. If Texas stays Blu, Red very well may never win again.

Eh, stock comp is real comp. They can’t sell it at the moment, but if the $2T IPO is anywhere near a success, they’ll make absolute bank.

More companies, especially startups, should do stock based comp. It gives the employees a vested interest in the conpany and a share in the success. When the owners cash out, the employees get at least a small windfall too. Normally, the employees just get a worse work environment.

Any halfway competent company using AI has a confidentiality/no-training clause in their contract.

Thank god the 5 transgender sports-playing school girls in the country can no longer pursue their interests! Can we get universal healthcare now?

For a work email connected to a work LLM, where you don’t particularly care about the privacy implications, LLMs are objectively vastly superior to built-in email search functionality. Especially Outlook.

Exactly. Idk about you, but Trump has undoubtedly cost me way more than $5k with just his 2 years back in office. And that’s before considering the catastrophic long-term effects he’s had on costs.

I can attest that USPS includes insurance up to $100 and making a claim is easy. UPS is a for-profit company though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if getting them to pay out is more difficult.

Those “investors” got their money’s worth in different ways. The point of buying this coin is to receive services, not crypto.

They’re mid-tier hardware at flagship prices.

Yep, indoor is much safer and healthier for the cats. It’s not like cats have goals and ambitions out in the big wide world. They spend most of their time laying around and doing that on a couch vs under a bush is only meaningfully different in that one location comes with a much higher risk of parasites and being eaten.

Not to mention that it is much easier to monitor the health of indoor cats. Tracking weight, litter box usage, and food and water intake can easily add years to the life of a cat. Though, outdoor cats probably need to worry more about cars and bobcats than kidney disease.

Sorry, that doesn’t play into the both-sides false-equivalency rhetoric. Please delete this comment.

But muh bof sides!!!
