Almost certainly a multiple of 2 minus one

You understand incorrectly. “passkey” refers to a token used for the public key authentication that is used for sign in, which needs to be stored somewhere - this can be stored in a hardware key like a YubiKey, or in your device’s credentials manager. In principle, this could be anywhere, but it needs to be somewhere secure to not be trivial to compromise (eg taking out your HDD and just copying your passkey off it)

In Windows’ case, this secure credentials store is the TPM chip, which is why you are not able to use passkeys on Windows devices that have no TPM chip (unless you use another hardware implementation).

Tldr: passkeys are data, not software, and to store the data, you need some form of hardware, which needs to be secure to not be a really bad idea.

If you’d like to do some reading before confidently correcting me further, I’d suggest reading about how passkeys work.

devices themselves can act as passkeys

I didn’t say a device needs a TPM to support passkeys - I said I believe it it needs one to be a passkey

Thank you for your passive aggressive response caused by poor reading comprehension, though

…except the ones that can’t

I think it depends on whether you have a TPM chip in it

And you can keep hand waving away the fact that lower precision because of less light is not the primary cause of racial bias in facial recognition systems - it’s the fact that the datasets used for training are racially biased.

I think in general it’s supposed to be about decentralisation, but god knows scammers will hop straight onto anything with “point-oh” in the name

You can’t possibly make a reasonable argument that Kamala Harris is a fascist lmao

• Authoritarian: no
• Ultra-nationalist: no
• Forcible suppression of opposition: no
• Militarisation of society: no
• State controlled economy: no

If they’re exclusively supporting the right wing candidate, they’re not a centrist, then

Oh they absolutely do, but ml has a reputation for being particularly poorly moderated

Why are you unwilling to enlighten us?

This list isn’t by percentage with a home - it excludes people who rent, so all this shows is that nobody rents their home in China

Too little, too late, though, in classic Congress style

The Myanmar Rohingya genocide was nearly a decade ago now, and we’re somehow still at the “asking Mark nicely to do a better job of moderation” step, somehow

I guess the police at least are able to order Facebook to remove it (sounds like that’s what happened) but then yeah, as you say, I expect they will have just escalated to the county/state police, if anything

I kinda disagree - that’s not to say that they don’t usually do so for illegitimate reasons (or that these bans are legitimate), but there’s plenty of valid reasons why a government would want/need to ban a platform

X, for example, has been giving the UK a whole lot of good reasons why they may wish to consider it (restoring the accounts of people like Tommy Robinson, allowing misinformation, the owner of the platform himself actively spreading that misinformation)

This is a knife and fork burger if I’ve ever seen one

Imo the second season gets even better, I’m obsessed rn

I put my steel in the fridge and it’s completely dried out now

Granted, it wasn’t very wet when it went in

Ok 👍

Presumably what the other commenter was referring to is the US having the oldest codified constitution

“generally speaking” as in “I pulled this stat out of my ass”

Calling you a russian bot isn’t exactly a liberal policy, is it?

If your reasoning for determining someone is “a lib” is saying that, then that’s exactly how you’re using the term.

The fact you immediately assumed I was a capitalist is a pretty compelling argument that you’re not good at determining people’s ideologies based on their unrelated complaints about your bad takes
