  • They talk about yubikeys in the footnote, which isn’t the best place to talk about them. They do not rant about how passkeys are bad because they are secure, they neutrally explain all the cool features and then they explain attestation, which is the only part they don’t like. Also, they don’t say that they use Windows, Android, macOS and iOS themselves and bemoan the oligopoly; they say most people use these operating systems instead of librecomputers, and bemoan the oligopoly on behalf of other people who don’t know better, or use windows because [general excuse for why people who aren’t the author use windows]. It is perfectly consistent to think of the author themselves as well informed about what linux they as an individual can install. I think we can blame the author for not making the article about how to install libre software, but taking that it is about passkeys as a given, it explains which part of them is harmful to software freedom. Maybe they even should have said that using android is to voluntarily subjugate oneself. But the article is about what the author wants other people to do, even if they aren’t explicit enough about that rejecting passkeys while using chrome is a temporary solution. They are the type of person that believes temporary solutions have value.












    • I need to consciously preplan unpleasant parts of the task so I can do them. Either because they require planning to do them pleasantly or because they are unpleasant to me because of low efficiency or other reasons (running the Simulation software that makes me feel bad for my CPU to slowly test hypotheses about my program). So I write down (in a text file) what I am going to do next. This felt like it got me slightly more motivated.
    • If the Textbook is not engaging to read, I just skip forward to the exercises, then look up what I need for each.
    • I felt significantly better recently after telling myself that each day has a part where I don’t need to do the task that I don’t like, and stop expecting myself to totally frontload it, because then I just feel stressed for a few days and backload it instead.
    • The guy who said that you should think about motivation instead of technique might be onto something a little bit, because these strategies I have for myself fix something about my brain: having enough context to start or concrete things to do to keep going. They also feel like they are ADHD coping strategies, but I don’t actually know if I have it.
