      Yep, looks like we’re headed to the cyberpunk dystopia, full steam ahead. Wait until they crash the banks and have CBDCs ready to go.

        There are a billion different ways to make this life worse… I often wonder if politicians or the voting majority ever watch dystopian movies because some actions are so absurd, they’re comical.

        Like the fact that we have like 20 companies that rule the world. There is an interesting chart out there which shows that impressively.

        Does nobody see that’s a stupid idea?

    Private Access Tokens are powerful tools that prove when HTTP requests are coming from legitimate devices without disclosing someone’s identity.

    So I don’t know the details, but it makes a couple of points that either mean this isn’t the same thing as the google thing, or “attestation on the web” isn’t DRM, or something else. So far as I can interpret the article, it seems to suggest the feature is “is this a safari device on ios, if yes then skip captcha” but that seems to be up to the website’s discretion.

    This is really just a power-grab move. There already is “Let’s Encrypt” - try going to a website that isn’t https. You’ll know right away that you might have typed a web address wrong.
