And, likewise, the UN stating that serious human rights violations occurred is not the same as them all saying they aren’t committing genocide

Is this excluding the bit where they made criticising their war in Ukraine punishable by up to 15 years in prison?

You mean something like the UN Human Rights Office report that concluded “China responsible for ‘serious human rights violations’ in Xinjiang province”?

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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

Criticising liberal policy is absolutely reasonable

Using “the libs” as a catch-all term for “anyone I disagree with” is the marker of an incoming terrible take

Didn’t mention capitalism, and I consider myself a socialist, but go off

Word “libs” in first 5 words, opinion rejected

Or - get this - it’s because I’m from a country where having more guns than citizens isn’t considered normal.

Children aren’t old enough to vote, why the fuck would you think it’s a good idea to give them easy access to ranged, deadly weapons?

“Gunphobic” is an absurd term, because a phobia implies an irrational fear, so fearing misuse of objects explicitly created for killing things isn’t exactly a “phobia” so much as it is a legitimate concern for the country with the 2nd highest rate of firearm homicides per capita on the planet.

In my country, we don’t do “school shooting drills”. We don’t need to.

Of course, the solution to children using deadly weapons is to give them to more children. Genius!
