you’re right, but “Business owners are (generally) not your allies in the class war, no matter how small or large their business is.” is a mentality from 120 years ago. (to borrow an expression now co-opted by (sigh) LLMs, the backsliding in the past 50 years is just a drop in the bucket when compared to the improvements that absorbing the Soviet Union’s social policies brought the world.)

the difference between then and now is enough to require radical change to that quote. back then, the middle class was opposed to the proletariat. now, you are the middle class and you agree with uniting with the proletariat to oppose the hyperbourgeois. if you are not blue-collar nor an “unskilled” laborer, you are middle-class.

i think this ignores the material demographic reality that whereas when that quote was said most of the world was the proletariat, now most of the world is middle class (at least, the world that Lemmy users live in)

this reeks of abstinence-only education

also, what does the article have to do with the AI cameras?

a treacherous path for humankind, one where bots take more and more off our plate until all that’s left is an empty vessel, and we human users become nothing more than thoughtless “approvers.”

not nearly as good an encapsulation as “gradual disempowerment”

Votes are public information thanks to ActivityPub: https://lemvotes.org/ Most frontends (like Lemmy) do not expose this, but the information is out there so any new instance may display counts accurately.

why shouldn’t we tell people to boycott the tech until then?

because attestation the conspiracy to use attestation has not activated and i believe the damage is too small even if it did; i’ve argued how TPM reliance would be impossible for a very long time.

that doesn’t solve the threat of a hardware attestation toggle.

just like how Let’s Encrypt made acquiring certs (essentially a requirement for new websites now thanks to HTTPS, just like what you say passkey attestation is) extremely easy, the equivalent for passkeys would make new attestation providers quite easy, since the equivalent authority would be trusted

I disagree.

Why so? What about passkey attestation requires each user to issue a certificate?

no, i was saying Let’s Encrypt solved HTTPS’s problems. before it HTTPS had the problems people claim passkeys’ attestation certificate chain has. it is very possible an authority equivalent to Let’s Encrypt will come about within the 16 years after 2021.

the average person doesn’t need an passkeys certificate issued either. using a passkey is the equivalent of HTTPS’s TLS packets, not making a new certificate.

there’s formats other than TPM like Apple and FIDO U2F, so I don’t think Apple, Yubikey (which chairs the standard’s working group), and the password manager industry (which already does passkeys) would just let that happen.

on that note (of my last sentence under the spoiler), you’ve also missed the point of https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/76949971/28679239 , which is not the first paragraph.

it’s not something the average citizen needs or uses a lot, unlike potentially passkeys

i would certainly say the average citizen uses HTTPS a lot

Let’s Encrypt is a non-profit while the common Passkey server-side storage vendors don’t seem to be

(context for onlookers: Let’s Encrypt is the most popular certificate authority, while the analogous to attestation is the concept of certificate authorities and not any one certificate authority.)

Let’s Encrypt was only founded in 2012 (and announced 2014) with general availability in 2016, while the current HTTPS standard with certificate authorities had been around since 2000. Passkeys, 2021. I think fairness is something the world needs.

how much? everything always happens. what are your proportions here? and for how long? short-term, long-term? what is it you’d like to ask?

for one, by definition manipulation is to achieve an outcome with dishonesty, usually one relatively better than without in the short term. so if that’s what you mean …

ah that does make more sense

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983 ended all video games, including the good ones.

But the new “Preview” app “will have some bugs,” Epic warns.

tbh it was a legitimate issue with the epic launcher the last time i used it: everything loaded for three seconds each time since it was some sort of prohibitively bloated framework web app

linux has a succession plan, though?

is Greg Kroah-Hartman not the succession plan?

It seems to me that the definition of attestation in the passkeys standard is the exact same as HTTPS certificates, which is not bad at all and nearly impossible to rug pull?

it was just the writing style

looking at your post and comment history, I strongly suspect this comment was written by AI. either that or you’ve got a really unfortunate writing style and gumption, in which case I apologize.

• tried theraphy, the solution only dont think about it, its okay (if only it was that easy)

the usual response is to try a different therapist
