  • What else could Biden do on his way out the door?

    Jump

  • This is correct. The ruling leaves it completely open to interpretation by the Supreme Court, regarding what constitutes an official act. The ruling was never a power gift to the presidency, it was a power grab by by the Supreme Court.

  • ​'Lines are drawn': Onlookers stunned as McConnell reportedly delivers bad news to Trump

    Jump

  • Right? McConnel has kinda always been the GOP's fall guy in the senate. The one who takes all the heat for unpopular shit, when the entire party is actually on board. Donny probably just didn't get the memo.

  • AI Has Come for Sweet, Innocent Notepad

    Jump

  • As if the new notepad wasn't already enough of a downgrade.

  • Tried Stardew

    Jump

  • It actually took me multiple trues to get into Stardew. The whole "track down everyone" quest is intimidating for a lot of people.

    Up to you if you think it's worth keeping at it, for the possibility of getting hooked later.

  • Evangelical leaders celebrate Trump’s victory as a prophecy fulfilled

    Jump

  • I mean, the book of Revelations is indeed a prophecy.

  • Georgia top court won't extend ballot deadline in win for Trump

    Jump

  • Gee, I wonder who was responsible for those ballots not getting sent out on time?

  • Texas teen suffering miscarriage dies days after baby shower due to abortion ban as mom begs doctors to ‘do something’

    Jump

  • Did they, though? Do we know how Nevaeh Crain and Candace Fails voted? Would that somehow make it okay?

    The fact thay people who have done nothing to support these policies can still be killed by them is PRECISELY the problem.

  • Reinventing the world’s favorite building material | Concrete, the second-most-used material on Earth, generates about four times more CO2 emissions than planes.

  • Likely wood.

  • Redding landlord fired after allegedly committing voter, mail fraud in Reddit posts

    Jump

  • Nah, he's telling the news that he didn't actually do any of this, he was just trolling or whatever. And fair, nothing on the internet should be taken at face value, for exactly this kinda reason. They're gonna investigate and see if he actually did this or not.

  • Redding landlord fired after allegedly committing voter, mail fraud in Reddit posts

    Jump

  • Either that or he had a separate job, and was just a landlord on the side.

  • Former PlayStation boss says games are "seeing a collapse in creativity" as publishers spend more time asking "what's your monetization scheme?"

    Jump

  • So, the scheme is basically to have you, the publisher, invest some money into marketing the game, to get potential players aware of it, then have them pay a one-time premium to actually play it, if they're interested.

  • Former Intel CPU engineer details how internal x86-64 efforts were suppressed prior to AMD64's success

    Jump

  • I decided to split the difference, by leaving in the gates, but fusing off the functionality. That way, if I was right about Itanium and what AMD would do, Intel could very quickly get back in the game with x86. As far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what did happen.

    I'm sure he got a massive bonus for this decision, when all the suits realized he was right and he'd saved their asses. /s

  • So I get banned from lemmy.ml What now?

  • Welcome!

  • a good way to get yourself labeled by someone who thinks in memes.

    What an effective way to put it.

  • Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more

    Jump

  • As I understand it (and assuming you know what asymmetric keys are)...

    It's about using public/private key pairs and swapping them in wherever you would use a password. Except, passwords are things users can actually remember in their head, and are short enough to be typed in to a UI. Asymmetric keys are neither of these things, so trying to actually implement passkeys means solving this newly-created problem of "how the hell do users manage them" and the tech world seems to be collectively failing to realize that the benefit isn't worth the cost. That last bit is subjective opinion, of course, but I've yet to see any end-users actually be enthusiastic about passkeys.

    If that's still flying over your head, there's a direct real-world corollary that you're probably already familiar with, but I haven't seen mentioned yet: Chip-enabled Credit Cards. Chip cards still use symmetric cryptography, instead of asymmetric, but the "proper" implementation of passkeys, in my mind, would be basically chip cards. The card keeps your public/private key pair on it, with embedded circuitry that allows it to do encryption with the private key, without ever having to expose it. Of course, the problem would be the same as the problem with chip cards in the US, the one that quite nearly killed the existence of them: everyone that wants to support or use passkeys would then need to have a passkey reader, that you plug into when you want to login somewhere. We could probably make a lot of headway on this by just using USB, but that would make passkey cards more complicated, more expensive, and more prone to being damaged over time. Plus, that doesn't really help people wanting to login to shit with their phones.

  • Sysadmins slam Apple’s SSL/TLS cert lifespan cuts

    Jump

  • Automated certificate lifecycle management is going to be the norm for businesses moving forward.

    This seems counter-intuitive to the goal of "improving internet security". Automation is a double-edged sword. Convenient, sure, but also an attack vector, one where malicious activity is less likely to be noticed, because actual people aren't involved in tbe process, anymore.

    We've got ample evidence of this kinda thing with passwords: increasing complexity requirements and lifetime requirements improves security, only up to a point. Push it too far, and it actually ends up DECREASING security, because it encourages bad practices to get around the increased burden of implementation.

  • Inside the TikTok documents: Stripping teens and boosting ‘attractive’ people

    Jump

  • The hell is that summary, AI-generated? Why yes, people DO work inside the TikToc building.

    Talk about burying the lede, by not elaborating on that title, like the article does. "Stripping" does not mean that teenagers are being "stripped" from the platform, or from feeds, like I figured. It literally means that THEY are stripping. OnlyFans style. For gifts. Jesus fuck.

  • Israel’s lack of vision in multi-fronted war may be fatally exposed

    Jump

  • Yeah, "lack of vision", that's definitely the problem.

    The "vision" of the Israeli government has been clear for quite a while, now: Israeli ownership and settlement of the entire region, achieved by killing off or convincing to leave everyone that's already there.

  • Missouri to execute Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors’ objections and innocence claims
