  • Fox News

  • Even my Linux PC talks to me through the terminal. It is just that it is very specific and technical but at the same time isn't invasive and hogging my resources.

  • ruled by gangs and crime syndicates with all the bullshit that comes with that….

    It’s literally how India has been ruled for its independent history. Ruled by one family for almost 70 years. Pretty much half of our current parliament has some criminal history either in Murder and Rape, have given hateful and divisive speeches or in some way or the other related to their local gangsters.

  • This article is so bad, take it with a pinch of salt.

    True for all Indian media.

    There’s a very long history of bogus announcements around Aadhaar, governments (remember it was introduced by Congress in the name of anti-corruption)…..

    True

    But in India maybe more than in most places, so many people seem to believe this is a good thing to comply….

    EXTREMELY TRUE. Fuckers literally worship the government at this point.

  • Cherry on top, the country is extremely tech illiterate and any form of protest will directly land you in prison on the grounds of terrorism w/o a fair trial.

  • Given the fact that India is the most polluted country in every single metric and one of the most corrupt, doesn’t make me think the generators they used were at all efficient lol.

  • No No! He is a non-biological being who is destined to save the country sent by shri ram himself! /s

  • We had a scam in our city where our electric buses were being charged by Diesel Generators.

  • Ironically, for me, Arch has been the “Just Works” Distro lol.

  • I set my mother up on my Vaultwarden instance and she uses it just fine w/o needing to configure anything other than me setting it as the Default Passkey Provider.

    Didn't have to explain her anything other than telling her to scan her fingerprint when the prompt comes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Glad I deleted my account.

  • … continues to make Play Integrity an integral part of Android and making all the stupid banking and govt apps requiring having it on your phone thus making it harder to de-google.

    still no… fuck you.

  • That’s why it’s important to avoid vendor lock-in and use actual reputable password managers to secure your passkeys such as Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass. On Android 14+ and iOS, you can even set your preferred password manager as the default passkey provider.

    If you don’t fully trust Bitwarden servers, you can self-host a Vaultwarden instance, which is compatible with Bitwarden clients. Alternatively, using a yubikey is also a great hardware based option. Just because Google & Microsoft are heavily promoting passkeys doesn’t mean they’re inherently bad.

    Passkeys work flawlessly for me across platforms:

    • Android 14–15 (except on Brave with de-Googled devices)
    • iOS 17–26 (and likely beyond)
    • Windows 11
    • Linux; while it doesn’t have OS-level integration yet, passkeys work perfectly in modern browsers

    Personally, I use passkeys everywhere. I host my own Vaultwarden instance to store all my passkeys, and for redundancy, I also keep separate ones in my Keepass database, which I use for TOTPs. My self-hosted stack is secured by Authentik, running completely passwordless and uses passkeys for authentication and other apps integrate via OAuth and Proxy Auth.

    I still don’t quite understand the issue you mentioned with websites. Typically, the passkey mechanism is triggered directly by the browser or OS (if you’re on mobile). You’ll be prompted to either save a new passkey or sign in with an existing one. If your password manager is correctly set up as the default credential provider, it should work seamlessly. Even without a browser extension, most Chromium-based browsers let you scan a QR code with another device that has your passkeys or you can simply insert a yubikey to authenticate.

    What infuriates me is that some services like Amazon use passkeys only as second factor and asks for an OTP anyways which defeats the whole purpose. But for services that do it right, passkeys works seamless!

  • But what’s dystopian about passkeys? They are actually more secure than Password + TOTP. Phishing out a passkey is practically impossible.

  • The ultimate 2 is over 100$ more expensive than the ultimate c wired and 50$ more than the official Xbox one. (All of this in rough ₹ to $ conversion) Interestingly, I just searched Amazon and I had to scroll down quite a bit to find the 2c wireless which is actually cheaper than Ultimate C wired (at 81% discount like wtf?!), so now I might go for that one. Thanks.

    Edit: Sorry that 2C was just for the Nintento Switch. The reviews mentioned it didn't support PCs. So now the actual 2c is 20$ more expensive than the Xbox. Now I am confused to put in the extra and go for the ultimate 2 lol.

  • Thanks. Unfortunately this one’s on the expensive side and I am not a hardcore gamer. I think I will go with the ultimate C wired as it is in my budget as well as seems to work with Linux (atleast via steam; got mixed reviews with Lutris from some folks in the comments).

  • Does 8bitdo work well with Lutris? I saw a video posted 5 years ago where you had to add Lutris to Steam and launch it from there for the controllers to work.

  • Well I have never used any controller or a console before. For almost 20 years I have been a keyboard+mouse guy. So for me, a plug and play controller would be nice. Bluetooth is not a priority for me rn. Given that as well as all the advice in the comments, I am leaning towards this one.

  • Yeah I was looking at that as a lot of folks mentioned the brand. The wireless is super expensive, even more than the original xbox controller. But the wired one is literally half the price.
