As we recap our fantastic #EverythingOpen talks, next up is William Brown @firstyear from @SUSE who walks us through #passkeys for #web #authn, showing us their ambiguities, how they work, what their limitations are, and what we need to be thinking about when we implement them.

Another fabulous talk from William.

Stop what you’re doing and go to Google.com and type in “Grogu”.

The first version of the Return/Enter collage for my book had 19 keys.

The final one will have… 99.

(It’s not just 99 different keys. It’s 99 different *form factors*. Maybe with some repetition – but not too many.)

If you're ever on an airplane, go to the map feature in your in-flight entertainment, and look up the town of Nadi, in Fiji.

Because its airport code is NAN, and because everyone in my profession is somehow really bad at their jobs, the map might think the airport is "Not A Number", at which point you can expose all sorts of fun bugs.

In my case, whatever city you had looked up previously would be shown, but still labelled "Nadi".

@HamonWry I used these all the time but I always ended up in 621 anyway.

The owner of Twitter has now made life on the West Coast of the United States less safe. #EmergencyAlerts #preparedness

@twitter is now limiting automated tweets and as a result, this account can no longer post all #Tsunami Warnings, Advisories, Watches, and Information Statements as they are issued. We will make every effort to continue manual posts 🧵(1/5)

I feel like it's worth reminding people that Citizens United, during which Justice Thomas, we have learned, was very obviously on the take, was a 5-4 vote.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

I am sorry to report that the last two publications recognizable as computer magazines in the classic sense have abandoned print. (You probably didn’t notice unless you were a subscriber.) I was moved to write a eulogy for the whole era. technologizer.com/2023/04/15/t
