There's a lot of talk about passkeys recently and how they're not as good as strong, random, unique passwords in terms of UX and security. I agree with the UX part: the industry needs to converge on better and more consistent passkey UX in order for this to become mainstream and useful long-term.

But I don't agree on the security front: the phishing resistance property of passkeys is much better than passwords. @iamkale explains it well in his article: https://blog.millerti.me/2024/10/18/password-managers-arent-replacements-for-passkeys/

For a while, I've been working with some other developers on improving passkey support in Linux. Here are my thoughts on what the road to a secure native API for interacting with passkeys. We'll need TPM support, measured boot, a virtual TEE, sandboxing kernel modules and more.

Sounds intriguing? Read here:

@ggmartin @evacide Mine were work things, it would have to be a hard sell to get marketing to agree to this, since they see any press as good press.

Coinbase Chief Legal Officer: the critics who think we’ve bought out the government are refusing to engage with the nuanced and complicated fact that Trump used to be anti-crypto before we started spending hundreds of millions of dollars on politics

#Coinbase #crypto #cryptocurrency

“I find those comments misinformed at best, if I’m being generous, and defamatory at worst,” Paul Grewal, chief legal officer at Coinbase, told The Hill of the backlash.

Some criticism, Grewal argued, fails to consider Trump was once a critic of crypto and at one point called it a “scam.”

Grewal pointed out how Congress moved major legislation in 2023 on market structure, an issue that was met with bipartisan support. The Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act in 2023 received support from 71 Democrats in the House.

“The fact of the matter is that President Trump did evolve and transform in his view on crypto, really starting in December 2023,” Grewal said. “In January 2024, we first started to engage with him and his team, but it was against a much more nuanced, complicated and complete history that I think a lot of the critics just don’t want to engage in.”

“Do Not Comply In Advance”

❌already a cliche
❌ implies permission to comply later

“Fuck You, Make Me”

90% of the time, if you need to know why Trump and Musk are attacking some part of government, it's because it was either investigating Musk's businesses or because they see it as benefiting Black, queer, disabled, and marginalized people.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
