On a similar note mooltipass can export an encrypted backup of passkeys. That said platform should support multiple passkeys so if you lose access to one you arent screwed over.

In the end we are talking about "smart-card-alike" auth, something there since decades, cheap, functional, safe and apparently ignored by most.

Curiously biometric crap is not ignored as well instead, and is pushed by any means...

Another classic case of xkcd 927. The declaration of license and hope that anyone abides by it is simple, but the execution, enforcement, 'royalties' and reality of it all is anything but simple.

Similarly awkward is many of their own urls being either dead or seem to lead to the wrong documents, for example their "collective's license" just leading to their own example documentation.

What would you suggest to counter these companies now ignoring robots.txt and copywrite generally.

Moved away from sudo to run0, set up some aliases and havent looked back.

On an aside, --empower has been a nice recent addition, running privileged commands as the actual calling user rather than root, different effects and not a replacement for all superuser tasks but a useful tool to have.

It almost felt like a well poisoning those that were preaching towards casual audiences how 3d printing would bring in this era of having a little factory in your garage. A set of machines that'd make anything and everything without any expertise on the user's end, replacing most overseas production.

I would rather chew asbestos than to use some random self updating, likely vibecoded 3rd party wrapper to run something so easy, something that many package managers already properly distribute builds of.

Never mind you're missing various features like the api proxy, shell completions, etc.

The script doesn’t self-update unless you actually want it to via an explicit flag.

It doesn’t have any features other than installing the latest release from the codex GitHub repo and updating it, and I don’t want it to have more features than that. This is not meant to replace any codex installation via a package manager, if you have a package manager where codex is available then by all means install it through that.

I mean 99.9% of the problems can be averted by just not installing some random new aur package with 0 votes or popularity.

The vast majority of packages an average user needs are built by arch anyways and aur by large is not nearly as needed. Still would take easily reviewable pkgbuilds over adding some random PPA as all too many ubuntu users tend to do or similar.

Piracy websites use a similar system. It's not nothing, but it's not enough for me to install pirated software.

Being "weird" is fine, but a lot of people dont know how to be normal about being "weird". When it feels like theres walls of perpetual irony to one's personality or embarrassment of one's own interests it rarely bodes well.

Doesn't mean you have to reveal every single interest, just have a little confidence towards the ones that do, whether or not you misread and how they land.

The idea of arch was never that its "supposed to be hard mode", its meant to hit what many of it's users consider the sweet spot of not being too opinionated but not leaving every single factor up to the user either. For many people that balance makes it in fact easymodo.

Calling it hard mode is putting it on a pedestal, a weird one that ignores much less opinionated linux distros and setups like Gentoo.

Same, its just been working fine regardless of touchpad or mouse. I genuinely dont get the fuss some have been having with tahoe

iirc from previous criticism I saw on this a majority of the trial recipients were retirement age adults, but all the same people much wealthier with the privilege to have time/money to spend doing art. Younger artists? Not established enough.
