might not be a great idea cause step 2 is usually bombing kids.

ever play digimon world?

that’s debatable

one that can run on just 32GB of VRAM

emphasis mine. all ram is theirs already.

it’s cool tech, but until it can be much closer to ours, i don’t think it’d be wise to rely so heavily on it.

a lot of stuff would already crumble if humans suddenly needed to maintain it manually again, for any likely reason.

there’s the thing though: “we” are not developing it. “they” are.

what stops the brand new app from being restricted immediately too?

damn i hate how social media oligarchs are shaping our language. this is bound to go very wrong.

it is. passkeys are not memorable.

and if all you are thinking about is how you should personally set up your own computer, you are missing the forest for the trees. we will keep happening upon android type situations if we’re being that individualist.

thorn means you are an insufferable nerd nowadays

you can always download it on your phone and wire it to the computer. but i think it’s worth it to keep it as is until you have a bit of infrastructure to deal with this, lest you end up without it.

firefox is pretty great in the meantime (the best actually, if you install ublock origin). i think they tend to support older osx for a bit longer?

they used to benefit from fascism. they still do, but they used to, too.

unless google finds a way to lock you in (or out), like they’ve done pretty much everywhere else. me and you using foss won’t change what’s coming for society at large.

i mean how can you not see how they have been hoovering up everything on the internet for the last couple of decades and think they won’t find a way to to capture this too and run it their way, like all before it?

people self-hosting their open-source password managers are in the vast minority. most people will use whatever is pushed to them, which is gonna be vendor lock-in.

apple makes it harder is my point, and i don’t blame devs for not bothering when developing for mac at all is already many hoops to jump through.

you can much more easily support older android and windows because they have stellar backwards compatibility.

mac is more like linux in that not targeting the latest and greatest is kind of a pain, except they go to great lenghts to wall you off from it if your device is old.

ironically, the best bet for old macs is windows or linux.

google will also control the most popular passkey manager. is that not obvious by how they already control the most popular password manager, browser, search engine and more?

this centuries’ fascism serves the US.

in that vein, red dead redemption 2.

that just shows apple’s way of treating users with older machines. older macos is unsupported and no one is encouraged to support it.

the www is also an open standard, and google controls it through chrome.

no, fuck passkeys. they will lock everyone in with their proprietary bullshit.

use a good generated password in a manager if you will. don’t trust anything corps are pushing.
