Huh. I’ve played around with D a few years ago… don’t exactly remember his opinions coming to light, but I can’t say I’m surprised either.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Any FOSS alternatives for Google Messages that support RCS?
1·2 years agoGoogle’s extension of RCS does do e2ee, which raises the question of “what happens to security when you talk to a non-Google user”…

Gaming@beehaw.org•Cyberpunk's storytelling makes Starfield seem ancient - Opinion
1·2 years agoI couldn’t really get into Witcher 3. It was more the combat than the story but the story didn’t interest me much either…

Gaming@beehaw.org•Cyberpunk's storytelling makes Starfield seem ancient - OpinionEnglish
32·2 years agofor me, Horizon Zero Dawn was the real “wow, open-world storytelling can be that good and not classic Bethesda nonsense” moment

Programming@programming.dev•Passkeys are generally available on GitHubEnglish
2·2 years agoIt does not. The fingerprint always only unlocks the device’s HSM (“secure enclave” in Apple speak).
Between your devices enrolled in the ecosystem, private keys are synced securely (AFAIK, they make it so that an existing device’s HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one’s HSM); for signing up using your device on someone else’s computer there’s a process that combines QR codes with Bluetooth communication.

Programming@programming.dev•Passkeys are generally available on GitHubEnglish
4·2 years agoNote that you pretty much can’t store them with Google or Apple; smartphone biometric sensors operate the on-device HSM, not something remote.

Programming@programming.dev•Passkeys are generally available on GitHubEnglish
2·2 years agoIIUC Apple syncs them using the most secure way they can, i.e. when you enroll a new device to your account the existing device, the existing device’s HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one’s HSM; and for recovery from being left with 0 Apple devices there might be (?) an escrow option that’s optional (?)

Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•It's time to replace urban delivery vans
3·2 years agoAir travel is quite polluting, of course I would expect such companies to have a PR budget focused on that kind of thing…

Gaming@beehaw.org•Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition has been seen on Singapore's ratings boardEnglish
1·2 years agoI preordered it on Steam and played on a big PC as soon as possible, it looked incredible to me, the initial release did crash occasionally but I always found it strange how much attention that instability got compared to how Todd Howard games are just casually permitted to be comically buggy.

AssholeDesign@lemmy.world•Is that “Balkenkreuz” beam cross, which was used by Nazis, intentional or not?English
1·2 years agoThe fact that it’s thin and fading outwards makes it looks more like one of the crosshair options in FPS games

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Prepare your Firefox desktop extension for the upcoming Android release
31·2 years agoThere’s no need to access the full file system to download to wherever the user wants. In fact the user might not want to use the local file system, but instead a “cloud” storage provider app!
The Storage Access Framework is built precisely for this.

Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•Aside from the lack of E2EE, why is Telegram not trustworthy?English
2·2 years ago??? Channels are literally public by definition and viewable even without an account. That’s the whole point of channels. They’re more like blogs than messages.

Gaming@beehaw.org•AMD is Starfield’s Exclusive PC Partner
6·3 years agoKeeping out a vendor-specific one in favor of a vendor-agnostic one seems actually positive to me. That vendor-specific “superiority” must be fought.

Moved most of my stuff there a while ago, has been pretty great.
