I remember when SFC was first introduced, I excitedly wrote a script to invoke it remotely so I could use it on a user’s pc when they called to fix their problem. To this day I have never run that script. This was in 1998.

Roll for pedantry

Passkey is FIDO2.

Change is hard. It has been a long road to get where we are today: major OS and Browser vendor support. Users now need to change their behavior.

Passkey is resistant to these attacks, but user adoption is not widespread enough for Discord to be able to mandate it.

Cloudflare has a bot score. Depending on how sus your bot score is you can use several different levels of verification. The checkbox you refer to is kind of in the middle. There is also a more complicated intrusive captcha and a totally transparent javascript. It’s a pretty slick system.

A lot of legal detail in this post. Here are three key points I pulled out the aricle:

• Internet users have a First Amendment right to speak on social media—whether by posting or commenting—and that right may be infringed when the government seeks to  interfere with content moderation, but it will not be infringed  by the independent decisions of the platforms themselves.

• Underlying these rulings is the Supreme Court’s long-awaited recognition that social media platforms routinely moderate users’ speech

• This term’s cases also confirm that traditional First Amendment rules apply to social media

I had an Impala that I named Vlad, so it was “Vlad the Impala”.

Here are two I recommend:

The Rest is History - two historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook go deep on interesting topics from history.

Never Post - a podcast described as “about and for the internet” and in some sense the spiritual successor to Hello Internet but also reminding me of classic Radiolab. Worth checking out.

What are your use cases?

Great list! I would also add to this PCR, the technology that allowed us to map the human genome.

Librewolf is great. Secure and private by default. For compatibility it is nearly as good as Firefox.

A lot of good stuff here. The three things that are most notable for me are:

Notepadqq

Fsearch

Allowing cookies for websites you are logged into makes sense. If you are going to login the site already knows who you are can track you, so you do not lose much with the exception. What I do for some sites like google services is access them from a separate browser.

So like philosopher kings?

This is like coming up with an original name for a D&D character: you just put together sounds until you get something that sounds cool. Here is one:

Bryo-Kernatz

Once you have the name it helps you imagine the character it might belong too.

Rush - Tom Sawyer

I have used my Yubikey to do FIDO2 auth on Linux Mint with Chromium and Firefox. I have tried M365, Twitter and Facebook but any website that supports FIDO2 should work.

Did not need to install any OS components.

Go to https://vger.app and you can run Voyager as a PWA.
