It’s a temporary ban. That is less of a consequence than what you’d face for airing a little too much copyrighted content or something, except for saying shit that could have come from Hitler’s mouth.

Ah. If we’re talking mobile, all bets are off. FIDO prompts require Apple and Google to provide the necessary APIs for third-party devs to use, and are still somewhat new. It’s likely that since iOS browsers are still just re-skinned WebKit (until the EU stuff settles and Mozilla implements Gecko on iOS), FF on iOS can leverage the OS APIs, but making it work with Gecko on Android requires more work.

I was referring to desktop, where those limitations aren’t a hindrance.

Correct. The spec is about making it easier and more secure to export your passwords and passkeys when you move from one password manager to another. People are misunderstanding this as some sort of federated authentication system to share your credentials between multiple password managers at the same time, which it is not.

~~This is straight-up wrong.~~I use FIDO2 and Yubico OTP auth in Firefox desktop on a weekly basis.

Are you sure you’re not using a hardened fork or tinkered with your about:config?

The main thing that Firefox frustratingly does not support is PRF, which is needed for encrypting data with FIDO-compatible devices, but they are working on that.

Edit: OP said mobile Firefox and I missed that. Added clarification.

It’s gonna work with KeePass and Bitwarden once it’s finalized.

FYI: the people in here recommending the open source competitors for Yubico aren’t mentioning one thing: YubiKeys, being proprietary, support a proprietary protocol called Yubico OTP in addition to the FIDO authentication protocol that the open source competitors can do.

The reason this matters is that some applications, like the Linux Bitwarden desktop app (there are others, but this is one that I’ve had to deal with), don’t support FIDO authentication, but do support Yubico OTP. This means that, for those apps, the open source keys wouldn’t be a valid authentication method.

Granted, the number of applications like this are small, and probably grows smaller by the day, but it’s an important distinction to be aware of.

Midnight Massterpiece is more like it. Anything from Mike Flannigan is great. Also check out Midnight Club. It’s not particularly scary, but more touching and sad, in a good way.

Yeah. I intentionally buy my games on Steam for ethical reasons because Valve contributes to a positive gaming ecosystem by making things run seamlessly on Linux.

GOG contributes to a negative gaming ecosystem by making Windows the “easy” option and not making use of Proton (or similar tech). Hopefully they fix that one day, but they don’t seem to care.

This must be a joke response…

This is a joke, right?

I started disabling JavaScript by default with uBlock Origin a few months ago. I am surprised to report that a bunch of sites work fine without JavaScript.

There are definitely some sites that actually need it, and for those, it’s just one click to permanently allow for that site. But most of the sites I need work better with just CSS and HTML because there are no stupid nags or social media sign-in buttons that pop-up anymore.

Say “no” to Ubislop! You’ll be happy you did :)

+1 for Ploopy mice. I have the Ploopy Adept, and I’ll never go back to another mouse. They mostly make trackballs, but they do have a “regular” mouse if trackballs aren’t your thing.

The biggest problem with Ploopy is that they only seem to make mice for people with bigger hands, so if that’s not you, you’re kind of screwed :/

Seriously. I’m really into keyboards with QMK, but I buy prebuilt keyboards and mice that are capable of running it because if using QMK required me to solder something, I wouldn’t be able to. Soldering is a skill that most people don’t have.

That has nothing to do with what’s happening. Twitter can’t be fucked to appoint a legal team to comply with Brazilian law, so they don’t get to operate there. Simple as.

Absolutely! Imperialism is bad when Russia does it, and when American/Israel does it.

That’s an interesting way of framing Russia ending the world in a nuclear holocaust because Ukraine didn’t want to be a part of Russia’s sphere of influence.

It would be best for everyone if Russia would stop the escalation, and I hope they do. If not, we have to find a better solution to imperialism than appeasement, because that doesn’t work long-term either.

That is a rad *fetch image 😎

Hopefully Russia ceases their invasion soon then. They could have ended it any time they wanted, but for some reason, they insist on keeping their “three-day, special military operation” going.

I’m rooting for peace. Hopefully, Russia comes around.

Yeah. Piracy is alive-and-well. You can even acquire and play PS5 games right now if you wanted to.
