The flow I hear about when people talk about passkeys is sign up with email. Code gets sent to email. Code is entered, passkey gets generated. There always seems to be some similar step that looks like that, and often you have new device or reset that looks the same. Sure the passkey itself is secure, but how do you get it, how do you generate it, how do you validate the first time?

I think they are being pushed because cool technology on paper. Whenever I read an article about them, I can't help but think about the human factors. How are passkeys created, often by a password or email. okay... that looks a lot like a password. Oh you lost the passkey, here lets send you one again. It stinks of a second factor without a first. Sure, the passkey itself is hard to compromise, but how about its creation. If your email is compromised I see no difference from passwords or passkeys.

(From a US perspective) It would be good. As an analog, take a look at patents, the surge in 3d printer tech is because the patents expired. The idea is a "limited exclusivity", the permanent nature it has become is stagnating, and only there to benefit the corporate rather than personal nature that the system was designed for.

Probably cookies, I did another quick test and created a new profile. The front page was unpopulated. I went to a technology connections video, and the refreshed the front page. It was populated, cleared stored information, (history, cookies, cache, etc...) and when I refreshed the homepage it was blank again.

The fairly default browser I used to take the screenshot is to watch some free with ads movies on youtube, most recently was waterworld, fun to watch, makes no sense.

Its not this simple, it looks like this to me on my fairly locked down browser (firefox), but on a fresh profile (image attached), that page is populated. I assume its a cookie setting, as I see the same behavior when I turn off tracking protection and ad blockers. I didn't play around beyond that.

They bill after the fact now or at least that made that change 10 years ago. https://www.wkms.org/government-politics/2012-03-15/south-fulton-adopts-new-fire-subscription-service

Similar to nitro for a user, but for a server as a whole. At various levels it add features to servers. Bigger files, more sticker slots, Banners, animated server icons, higher quality streaming, more options for invite links and how they appear...

umm, no. I use work chats for work, and personal chats for personal. I might accidentally add the wrong colleague to a work chat, or wrong friend to a personal chat, but I'm never going to accidentally add a friend to a work chat because I don't mix work and personal chats.

authoritarianism is another word that can mean different things to different people. It can be used to mean the government enforcing any rule that isn't liked. civil rights protection? authoritarianism. job protections? authoritarianism. minimum wage? authoritarianism. etc...

Also related is "small government". I think people who use it mean (at least when not in control) "small federal government", the state however should control everything about peoples lives.

I almost think its the laws they support are black and white and unchanging. If something is wrong with a law, it doesn't matter, that's the law. The solution to an issue isn't to change the law, its to enforce it harder, or make it more restrictive. The "rule of law" also applies to individuals and actions. Money crimes, fraud, "the state" are not subject to the same "rule of law" because those laws "don't make sense" and if we look above are a result of "authoritarianism".

Is there a solution to get people to use language that can be agreed upon? who knows, but it would certainly help clear things up. I hate trying to guess what someone thinks a word means to attempt to refute their points.

I don't know I've though about "rule of law" quite that way before. I'll have to add it to my list for when it comes up. There are several other terms that mean different things to different people (I wish I remembered a specific one to demonstrate). Its one of the reasons its hard to have political discussion online. You have to determine what the words your using mean, before you can start arguing the points.
