They can’t without a constitutional amendment. They might still try to argue that the current constitution says something it doesn’t; they might just extrajudicially say “fuck you” to it.
But the only ones talking about it are assholes and - to be clear - not a majority of Americans.
A passkey is a public/private key pair used instead of a password. You store the private key, and the website stores the public key. Data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted by the private key, and vice-versa.
This means you can share the public key freely with the website, and even if they get hacked and the public keys are stolen, they’re useless.
When you log in, they send you a challenge encrypted with the public key, and since you hold the private key, you can decrypt it, create a response to it, re-encrypt it with the private key, and send the response to the website; which then decrypts it with the public key to verify it.
The initial spec was that each device would have its own passkey and store it in a TPM (that thing Microsoft requires your computer to have for Windows 11), which is a secure memory storage location that only the kernel can access.
However BitWarden is also able to store them and make them portable. (I think the standard was loosened to allow for this? But don’t quote me on that.) So, now you can have one passkey for the site and it works anywhere you can use BitWarden’a browser extension.
TLDR: more secure than a password, nothing to forget, stops passwords being stolen.
Community names are unique if you account for the instance name.
This is a bit confusing as usernames follow a similar, email-address-like format.
I would enjoy there being just one community for a given topic that spans all instances, and moderators can either take actions that are instance specific or “global” (happen everywhere) but again that can get complicated fast. Who gets that global power? What if there are disagreements? Can an instance revoke a global action for just their instance? How much extra work does that create? How do instances handle backend storage for stuff like that (do you want CP deleted globally? I’d imagine so because it’s illegal to store it. Who decides to block an instance out of a community for posting offensive/illegal content; and how do you prevent all that from being abused for non-offensive content that instance mods find disagreeable?)
Yeah, kinda? It’s a metaphor for just absolutely talking someone or something up incessantly. Basically just cumming all over the place about them. Similar to “riding”, in that regard.
“MOST controversially”???
They’re deleting the Tuskegee Airmen! An all-black Army fighter and bomber group!
They are literally calling them “DEI” when they’re from a time where they couldn’t share water fountains with white people.
That Big Ball’s regex he pulled from a Twitch extension tutorial on setting up automod highlighting found the word “Gay” an no one reviewed the context is certainly one of the dumbest things, but cmon it’s hardly the fucking worst shit they’re doing.
They are literally deleting our history in front of us. Fuck these guys, may they be tried, convicted, and sentenced to death!
I’m not in a rush to endorse client apps adding large, experience changing features. That will radically alter the way different users interact with the service, they might need two apps to get all the features they want, etc
Sounds like a good way to make things even MORE confusing for new users.
I did always think that a shared (somehow) login would be great; but how do you federate that? Do you? What if the original server goes down? How does moderation work?
It gets really complicated really fast.
That’s a pretty wild claim. It almost sounds like you don’t know what a passkey is. Explain.
Passkeys are much better. Unlike what FAANG companies want you to believe, they do not have to be tied to a device. Use a password manager that supports them (BitWarden) and pretty much never get hacked again because of a password. Website doesn’t need to store anything that an attacker can use. No downside.
Newsome just launched a podcast and glazed the fuck out of his first guest: Charlie Kirk
No fucking WAY that guy needs to be president
Didn’t Elon already tweet that Joe Biden ordered 150 million chickens to be killed in order to raise egg prices?
These people have the memory of a goldfish, they’ll buy it.
It’s an interesting take though because a lot of good content requires funding too, as well as hosting etc.
So how can we solve that in a reasonable way that doesn’t lead to all the bullshit?
Why? It works for republicans. Don’t pretend that it’s worthless to try and get people fired up, especially if you have no procedural chance to do the right thing.
If nothing else, make people feel like you have their backs. Al Green did the right thing.
We have a lot more to atone for than the orange Nazi but thanks for the vote of faith
LibreOffice: “I’m right here”
Literally a thing that uses a file path. Did you think shortcuts pointed at some kind of hidden identifier? Nope! Change the folder name, you change the path, and you break the link.
Same thing happens with URLs
Yeah you’re right they should rob us blind because you hate paperwork

I’m going to start making snarky comments on every article I see about Germany or the UK or Australia that doesn’t specifically call out the country and continent that it’s on.
Just because you’re not American doesn’t mean you’re not loud and annoying.
This is what happens when you construct a society around screwing everyone else over while preaching cooperation. People stop trusting everything
That was what they thought the “safe” thing to do was. “Decorum” and “reaching across the isle”. All that “when they go low, we go high!” shit, in the face of actual Nazis.
More like “when they get votes, we go bye”
Democrats think they’re in a fairy tale, still asleep having the American dream. It’s all offices with rich histories and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades in their world. Their campaign donors are “good proud American businessmen (and WOMEN!) who show the world that evil communism isn’t the answer and only centrist cooperation can achieve freedom!”
It’s why they thought they’re could win by having a brat summer. They thought “we’re clearly the good guys, the ones who like civil rights, hell we’re running a half black, half Indian woman!”
And now that they fucking lost their answer is “wear pink and sing ‘We Shall Overcome’ on the house floor” when the ONLY ONE OF THEM to stand up to Trump, in the most minor of ways mind you, is censured - and fucking 10 OF THEM VOTED FOR IT! YOU WEAK, INEFFECTUAL ASSHOLES!
Decorum and traditional norms will not save you now. Get out and speak truth to power. Shit all over them on the news. EASY QUOTES THAT GO VIRAL. Vote as a bloc against everything they try to do. Filibuster, stall, use procedure against then whenever you can. BE FUCKING BULLIES for your cause, because they sure as shit have been doing it to you for 50 FUCKING YEARS. The SAME GODDAMN GUY WITH NIXON is running around dressed like a CARTOON VILLAIN who ties women to train tracks and is still RATFUCKING YOU
god DAMMIT if I’d have known that the majority of adults in this world were so goddamn stupid I’d have made much different decisions in my life
