Passkeys IMO will only work with dedicated U2F/FIFO keys like Yubikeys.

Beware that Passkey storage is limited though and I don't think you can reuse one for multiple sites. My Yubikey 5 NFC stores up to 32 and you should have some redundancy if you ever lose it. You also can't export them. I only use passkeys (in Bitwarden) for things I don't care about.

LGBT books are not sex books. They are books with LGBT,characters doing normal things in their lives. Making it normal for people to think about LGBT people and their dynamics.

The need to create this is the failure of tax based revenue model of the govt

It is great to see that governments are also funding open source, but I don't think it is sustainable and scalable because:

1) In every country, most politicians and citizens have no clue about the problem we are discussing here. Thus OSS won't have a meaningful share in the gov budget.

2) If an OSS-advanced country funds open source now (like Germany - kudos to them!), it might easily change later with a new administration (like the support of nuclear plants in Germany).

3) If a very stable OSS-advanced country perpetually support open source, that creates a freerider problem - nowadays it seems that German taxpayers are supporting OSS, but others do not and unlikely will.

Meanwhile, private funding is sustainable (endowment model) and scalable because of aligned incentives — people voluntarily join, not taxed.


Germany is making it work† but seems quite far off to say the least in the US. "Voluntary tax" like this is provocative in its own right, will be interesting to see what gets unlocked more broadly if this succeeds.

UBI is the most likely outcome from Ai, then we can vote for raises... that'll be fun

Maybe a US VAT tax on the way there


Tax dollars to find software

They do. Most big breakthrough software even today is made by university and national labs

Sorrt for may be a complete ignorant question but whats the use case of docker desktop as opposed docker cli

Docker Engine (the "CLI") only works on Linux. "Desktop" is supposed to offer a unified experience across platforms, it offers a GUI, ships Docker Engine inside a virtual machine so that it works on Windows and MacOS, and tries to make the VM as transparent/invisible as possible (with varying success) with filesystem mounts and network configuration.

It also includes a local k8s cluster. So you get 2 in 1 package.

Why would you want that?

Because several developers that work with docker also deploy to Kubernetes. So docker-desktop is a one-click method to get both on your workstation and deploy locally.

So we should ban social media is what you're saying but not what OC is saying.

Banning access to social media for kids under 18 similar to how tobacco and alcohol is banned to underage people would be the more direct line.

This argument is quite close to what gov'ts are "trying" to do here! And I tihnk you'll find very few people ammenable to the idea that we should allow cigarettes to be sold to underaged people (even if in practice they still get access).

The argument on the "don't do the social media ban" side is quite an uphill battle if you dig into this metaphor too much


All "social media" that uses recommendation algorithms should be unavaliable to children.

At least give it a try.

The idea is of general purpose computing. In past, you could restrict access without restricting most freedoms. Today's world, restricting access means restricting access to a ggeneral purpose computer. And thats the biggest deal.

Lockdown: The coming war on general-purpose computing

Jan 10, 2012

https://boingboing.net/2012/01/10/lockdown.html

The article does reflect the issue at the time (the media mafia's boogeyman "piracy") and the thought that to prevent piracy, users must be restricted from access to "general purpose computers".


Does it? If we had real control of our machines it doesn’t feel like this would be an issue.

Well it all worked out well. ICC is moving away from MS and so are govts. All good things
