  • I love this idea that somehow we are saving money when making cuts to many life saving and necessary services. Like OK, so we cut funding to NOAA, NASA, Medicare, Medicaid, social security, the post office, the department of education, the IRS, the EPA the CDC and some how there’s not going to be a big oh shit moment when we realize that those things were required for general maintenance of the country.

    Like, I’m gunna cut a lot of cost by no longer changing my tires on my car and just driving in the rain with bald tires. There’s simply no way that would end bad for me or anyone else in the vicinity of my automobile.







  • Well again, the claim was that somehow passkeys would stop Lemmy from being flooded by bots.

    So in that situation, we aren’t talking about hacking. We are simply talking about if a login could be triggered programmatically. So if Lemmy required passkeys to be used instead of passwords. And if the passkeys required scanning a QR code to sign in. I imagine It would provide minimal disruption to an automated login.

    Now if the passkeys somehow enforced a real human to do something that only a human could do, then yes it would stop an automated registration/login. However if it’s possible to automate then it wouldn’t stop bots.
