Could you edit that with a link or text for the accessibility of it all?

Maybe look over my comment history esp re language usage

Nah, too much effort, like proof editing a comment. Better to just plop out comments into the lemmy commode & flush them away with a press of the Post button. Right? 😉

ducking

This is lemmy: pretty sure you can write fucking without burning our virgin eyes/ears. Maybe. Don’t quote me on that.

They need to put out an advisory to stop breeding with that man.

Definitely, especially when the “damage” is meaningless, imaginary, clearly not even directed at them, and well within someone’s capacity to disregard & not take personally.

They really need to bring back the “Sticks and Stones” nursery rhyme: cultivating all this fragility & learned helplessness ain’t serving humanity.

The Mesopotamians had some cool myths extolling humanity’s ability to endure the gods’ multiple attempts to exterminate them with disease, pestilence, drought, great floods. I think people have some capacity to get over themselves & endure some ridicule not directed at them. Imagine if the Mesopotamians instead wrote legends of the gods exterminating or curtailing humanity with the slightest hint of ridicule directed elsewhere.

Enki, however, as always never at a loss for creative ideas, devised a way that he hoped would finally solve the problem caused by the quarrelling gods themselves. He decreed that from now on the humans’ lifespans would be severely limited from the outset (in biblical terms to 120 years) by the indirect ridicule of their peers.

Beyond pathetic.

That’s…such a non-issue. If that totally devastates someone, maybe they should work on their resilience or fortitude? Do we really need to pull out the world’s tiniest violin for every contingency?

Glad you understand it, though.

Where’s the innocent person?

While I get what you’re saying

You do? I don’t, because why should anyone give a fuck?

dictionary entry

Aren’t there already other progressive parties? Look how they’re doing.

At risk at seeming like I sympathize for Musk (I don’t), anyone else read parts of the article that raise questions?

In the United States, Musk has found a powerful ally in Trump. Together, they have ransacked the federal government

ransacked? Doesn’t that usually mean plunder? They’re damaging the government in many horrible ways, however, Musk outright stealing from the government would lead to easy challenges making headlines: I wish he’d make it that easy.

Ransack for as in vigorously searching through something could be another sense, but it wasn’t used that way here. I guess it could mean rush through, causing damage. Curious word choice that I can overlook. Reading on…

She filed a complaint with a local market regulator, requesting a refund and compensation. Teslas are among the most computerized cars on the market, so Zhang asked the automaker to turn over the full pre-crash data from her car, hoping it might help explain what went wrong. Tesla refused.

“Tesla’s employees were very arrogant and tough in dealing with my complaints,” Zhang said in an interview. “I was burning with anger.”

no mention of Zhang receiving compensation

So it looks like Tesla is resisting compensating Zhang & releasing pre-crash data.

A top executive speculated to Chinese media that she “had someone behind her” and said Zhang was making a fuss because she just wanted higher compensation.

Wait, did Zhang receive any compensation? I thought she hadn’t. I still don’t know. Does the article clearly say?

Back in court as a defendant, Zhang was unable to prove that the brakes on her Tesla had indeed failed.

Besides Zhang’s words of her father’s panic that the brakes aren’t working, did she have solid evidence that the brakes did not work? Post-crash analysis? Independent analysis of untampered logs directly off the car’s hardware?

While I was ready to condemn Musk & Tesla and to ridicule the Chinese government over this, this isn’t satisfying. Not to understate all the other reasons to condemn them, which are clear & also covered in the article, this article leaves unanswered a number of critical questions that it could answer.

This would be much better with citations.

I do find this to be a little odd, kind of drastic.

Rather than drastic, there could be additional, medically informed factors that would make this totally reasonable.

According to the book Blind Spots, fallopian tubes begin certain highly deadly cancers lacking effective screening tests & that are often incurable when discovered. For someone who’s decided not to bear children, their physicians may reasonably recommend fallopian tube removal. It’s a highly effective oncological intervention.

but…

That’s where you lost me.

Transgenders are different: under no circumstances can we put America’s transgenders in danger. They are far too precious to risk in combat. Like for the sake of homosexuals 16 years ago, it has been the solemn oath of every man in uniform to lay down his life in defense of America’s precious, precious transgenders.

Passkeys or WebAuthn are an open web standard, and the implementation is flexible. An authenticator can be implemented in software, with a hardware system integrated into the client device, or off-device.

Exportability/portability of the passkey is up to the authenticator. Bitwarden already exports them, and other authenticators likely do, too.

WebAuthn relying parties (ie, web applications) make trust decisions by specifying characteristics of eligible authenticators & authentication responses & by checking data reported in the responses. Those decisions are left to the relying party’s discretion. I could imagine locked-down workplace environments allowing only company-approved configurations connect to internal systems.

WebAuthn has no bearing on whether an app runs on a custom platform: that’s entirely on the developer & platform capabilities to reveal customization.
