Disenshittify! Repeal all anti-circumvention laws now.

We are about to get a "post-American internet," because we are entering a post-American *era* and a post-American *world*. Some of that is Trump's doing, and some of that is down to his predecessors.

A comparative view on #bonobo and #chimpanzee childhoods:
On their pathways to independence, chimp infants spend longer hitching a ride than bonobos who show more frequent independent travel. Chimp infants tend to stay closer to mum for longer, though both do. There is a lot similar but also difference in ecology, social risk factors and maternal strategy.

horrible realization:

if I were to speak now of a "crypto nudist" the reader would most likely not imagine a person who is nudist but on the down-low, and instead imagine a nudist who is really into cryptocurrency

buddy got a sighing look. 😂😭🥹 so smoochable on the forehead.~


When a passkey is created, it indicates whether it’s eligible for backup and is currently backed up. Websites and apps that make use of passkeys know whether a credential is resilient to device loss.

There’s a reason that passkeys in Apple Passwords and the other well-known passkey managers are backed up and synced by default. infosec.exchange/@adamshostack…

@adamshostack

Half snark, but actually curious… what happens if Apple kills your account?

I haven’t started using passkeys because I simply don’t have the time to figure out all the ramifications and make sure they aren’t tied to a computer or an account.

(I believe you should understand a technology before adopting it)

They need to be highly portable… preferably via a text file (much like an ssh key is).

Yes, that's a major concern for me as well. Not saying passwords don't have problems, but in this day and age to aim to replace them with something which is tied to a single vendor (and possibly a single account with that vendor) seems bad. For a backup to be meaningful, it needs to be restorable even if the user loses access to wherever the thing backed up was originally stored. In an ultra-connected highly-synced world, this includes Apple/Google accounts.

Top 3 des contraintes à avancer seul sur 1.2.Train:

1. Le bus factor
Combien de personnes dans le projet peuvent se faire renverser par un bus avant que ça n'échoue?
Pour 1.2.Train: zéro.

2. Impossible de multiplier les chantiers
J'avance sur un sujet à la fois. Ça se ressent dans l'exécution 🙁

3. L'usure lente
Ma crainte n'est pas le burn-out mais la fatigue mentale qui s'installe petit à petit.

Objectif: passer de 1 à 2 personnes.

Pour y arriver, 2026 doit être une année exceptionnelle!

It's also the piece of a drill mechanism that holds the bit. Tightened or slackened with a "chuck-key"

it's just one level, but the Clockwork Mansion in Dishonored 2 is brilliant! 🤩
