The main argument I hear is about portability. Systemd integrates deeply with Linux and isn’t available on BSDs or other Unix-like systems. This in itself wouldn’t be an issue but major desktop software started to integrate systemd locking out BSD users. A recent example is KDE Plasma Login Manager (KDE itself still works).

Providing systemd-less option is something very in line with Gentoo Linux portability goals so I’d take a look at what they do if you’re interested.

Who’s using remote attestation for Passkeys? You’re conflating requirements for app signing on Android with an encryption scheme. I’m not interested in slippery slope, people who use this argument end up arguing against LGBT marriage (they’ll marry dogs next!). Will you? Slippery slope logic says yes.

I mean, we already have it. Wherever it’s rolled out drivers start to behave which measurably saves lives.

Arguments against Flock and how it’s used specifically are based on reality, not the slippery slope. Flock-like solutions are deployed in many places (and even mandated by EU) without much outrage. Automated car surveillance is a good thing in general and segmental speed measurement is great at increasing road safety.

This is a very slippery slope kind of argument and you’re arguing with people working on Passkeys who likely know how they work.

If you’re a fan of conspiracy theories consider this comment from the discussion linked above:

Let’s just put out a counter conspiracy theory here. There are people who benefit from phishing. There’s a whole crime-as-a-service industry out there. So who would benefit from spreading FUD about passkeys? Qui bono? Exactly!

I wonder if the implementation impressions are dependent on the platform. I’m using Apple devices for my phone and laptop, also Apple Passwords and Safari. Whenever I see Passkeys prompts it’s very seamless and almost the same as if I was filling in a password. It’s very confusing to read what people write about it online, I can only imagine people hurting themselves on purpose dramatically like in an old teleshopping ad. That said, there’s maybe 5 websites I frequent that do Passkeys and I never decline creating one so the adoption isn’t going great.

What an incredibly talented developer. They’re working on GBA, GC/Wii, PS1 and SNES emulators, all at the same time, all started very recently. The developer has 400 repos on GitHub. We’re dealing with a savant, guys!

How can a word interpolation machine do anything on it’s own? Do they mean some script that feeds LLM things and then does things based on what it spews back? Who’s responsible for that script?

According to data from the Riksbank, only 5 per cent of shoppers said they had paid cash for their last in-store purchase in 2025, compared with 10 per cent in 2023 and 40 per cent 15 years ago.

They’re abandoning it except it’s happening anyway. Torygraph being Torygraph today.

I’m going to try it on my ThinkPad X250 this weekend. I managed to install Gentoo with a handbook printout 25 years ago. This can’t be that much harder or am I in for a rough surprise?

Before I refreshed it there were 4 flagged commits, all from September 1st. Since then there was one new LLM-assisted commit so it looks like the rate is decreasing.

Do those two commits count as “increasingly”?

It is the perfect time for a rewatch. I did Twilight and New Moon this weekend. Gets better every time.

No mention of 120hz or VRR, meh.

Excellent technical effort from Atlus as usual.

Writing code is such a small part of software development that even if you forget about designing cohesive whole, refining features and testing, you still have to consider that software has users. You might create bespoke software but where are you going to get employees that are skilled at using it? Do you want your graphics designers to moonlight as your primary QA? You can’t escape putting in the effort.

Obfuscating it is shitty enough but claiming “never slop” while every new commit is LLM asssisted is a whole new level.

Maybe that’s what Kaze Emanuar was referring to here: https://nitter.pp.ua/KazeEmanuar/status/2108274696286343547

That developer will get bored once they realise how much of an effort this actually is. This is an admitted pre-alpha yet everyone acts like Adobe is crushed by this and not by competition from Affinity and Canva.

Alternative title: “Solo dev delusional enough to think they can create an enterprise software suite without years of in-house testing or user feedback, because typing code is the bottleneck in software development, apparently”.

You tell them what’s broken and if they’re still around they ask Claude to fix. Next thing you know they’re begging for money for tokens. Amazing waste of electricity all around.

How does that work? It shows that every single recent commit has been LLM-assisted but I can’t see anything to indicate that when checking https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commits/master/
