The private key doesn’t need to be memorized, it stays saved on the device that the client software is on, allowing the user to integrate mobile device’s biometric reader (fingerprint/face/iris/whatever) to confirm identity, or use security key, there are already different ways to implement it that doesn’t require pw memorization.

I’ve got a long unmemorizable string for Firefox sync, Brave, Proton Mail/Pass, it’s still more secure than pw memorized

@Aatube @maegul@hachyderm.io @1984 @mindlight @maegul@lemmy.ml
Couldn’t it be like public-private keys such PGP protocols, where the users have the private key and the platforms have the public key? It’s seems quite good privacy, some would even say it’s “pretty good privacy”.

@PlasticPigeon I can reply on Lemmy with Mastodon (with Mastodon character limit), and never tried to comment on pixelfed or peertube, but Beehaw can interact with all lemmy and kbin. I primarily use Mastodon and a secondarily Beehaw.

@PlasticPigeon
I have a Mastodon account, and a Beehaw (more civil version of Lemmy, more moderation, no downvoting), and i have no pixelfed or peertube (fediverse YouTube) accounts and yet I can access any account/community/hashtag from any service by either of my accounts. Mastodon has a character limit that beehaw/lemmy doesn’t but Mastodon is about following individuals while lemmy is about subreddit/community/magazine/etc that anyone can participate in.

@frostbiker @Treczoks
I’ve got a local grocery/corner store (long shelf life but also milk and eggs) that is a Amazon delivery point and I don’t know there’s a size limit but it essentially turns the corner store to a big box store all without a 18-wheeler coming down the street. It would be nice to have competition with Amazon, that the same corner store could provide the same last mile service to a myriad of retailers, it wouldn’t take much a infrastructure investment for that transition.

@MDKAOD @ThirdWorldOrder are there leftist companies?

@mondoman712
Best driving experience in the world? The Netherlands, because when you shift a significant number of people off the roads into alternative transport the remaining drivers have less traffic and higher average speeds than an over-reliance on cars.

Risak is just committing the same mistake Robert Moses made 80 - 50 years ago, building more roads to “solve” traffic but it just induced more car traffic - - and then repeat again and again.

Just like Hitler, Trump never got a majority of popular votes

@dingus @Bipta
Are gen z likely to be uniformly iPhone users?

That’s like the most conformist thing that I have ever heard. The study results are that 21%(F) 25%(M) find having an android phone is a green flag in their partner, while 7%(F) 6%(M) have it as a red flag, so it’s not that bad as far android/iPhone is concerned.

@alignedchaos @mister_monster Republican House blocked what now?

You mean Senator Mitch “whaddya do if another justice needed to be appointed to fill a vacancy in an election year with Trump in office? {giggle to himself} I’d fill it” McConnell somehow used the Democratic held House in '20 to fill RBG’s seat with the help of Republican minority?

@beteljuice @IHaveTwoCows

Just putting this out there:

David Duke denies that he’s an antisemite, racist, or bigot.

The individual doesn’t need to identify and tell others that they are fascist to be objectively fascist. Or should we take the word of David Duke that his bigoted beliefs aren’t bigoted because he doesn’t recognize them to be bigoted beliefs?

@SoylentBlake @maniajack direct democracy isn’t anywhere close to a panacea and doesn’t address the neoliberal mindvirus that you identify as the root cause. Individuals voting on legislation won’t be much better than the representative “democracy” we have now, with most of the adult population determining their vote on tribalism not any effort to take a deep dive understanding in the content of the legislation. We’d end up at Idiocracy before fascism but that’s a mob of dictators instead of one

@kier @kingludd there’s a cultural harm that you’re not a real man/'Murican/Christian/conservative/etc if you aren’t living a life of the non-cosmopolitan by riding a bike or interested in anything else other than car-dependency and all the ancillary things that come with that, since that starts to bleed into the suburbs and even urban areas. There’s white-collar workers doing their morning commute in full-size pickups telling themselves that mass transit is for dirty poor people not therm

@michaelrose @booty Biden should have, for the good of the party and nation, step aside and have announced he wasn’t going to run for reelection. With a lively primary, the narrative in news cycle would be dominated by a bunch of Democrats saying why their vision was better riffing off of Biden’s accomplishment (as smell as they were) and contrasting against GOP’s criminal conspiracies and apologists for criminals. Instead we will have a return of hide-a-Biden strategy but no pandemic

@Tak @Pipoca both the US and the UK have fptp single member districts for national legislature, so the expectation would be that in the UK parliament they’d only have Labour and Tories, no 3rd parties representing regional issues, just wings of the duopoply serving that purpose. But the difference isn’t derived in that both have FPTP, but that the US has a media environment that propagates binary choices, BBC still strives for viewership but not the extent that US MSM does via oversimplification

@sentient_loom @cabron_offsets Sanders has been put into a trance of feeling “heard” by Biden while being neutered in any chance of delivering real material benefit to the people. His career as being a truth-speaker from outside the elite, he’s shot his shot to do some real good and will probably retire next year.

@covert_czar I;m reading this from Mastodon, did you see this message?

@erogenouswarzone similar to product placement, it’s not done by production companies because piracy is occurring, it’s down regardless of the state of piracy to maximize profits. Labor scarcity goes away when wages reflect the demand and profit maximization is disregarded; movies disregarding profit maximization would then not have product placement and it’s not a function of piracy, that’s just the scapegoat for things to take place of the profit maximization. Profit motive≠profit maximization

@erogenouswarzone piracy isn’t the reason why there’s product placement was my point, since it occurred from the start of Public Relations and the practice of earned media and payola. Eliminating piracy wouldn’t affect product placement, and claiming so sounds like those ignoramuses who say if minimum wage is increased that jobs would be automated away - min wage has remained the same for over a decade and jobs are being automated anyway, jobs will be eliminated regardless of min wage laws

@erogenouswarzone @s20 oh right, because that wasn’t the case with movies like Transformers (again GM) or Superman and Marlboro being conspicuously visible throughout the movie, or ET when Reese’s pieces paid to be a central part of the movie
