  • Is this buying Intel or Microsoft in the early 80s or is it buying AOL in the late 90s?

  • It is hard to do well which is why I worry. Google probably has the best overall account security, you could fo worse than modeling after them.

    The short answer to your question is Passkeys. But you need a whole system of account recovery around them.

  • I love Lemmy and Voyager and the Fediverse. That said, if it were to become mainstream I forsee some problems. The fact that the login relies on only passwords is pretty terrible. Also, this makes the service vulnerable to bots, sock puppet accounts, brigading, etc.

  • Steal This Comic

    Jump

  • I buy a ton of XKCD merch for this very purpose. I support others on Patreon, by buying from their advertisers and by buying their audiobooks on Libro.fm or a physical copy.

    Amazon and other middlemen add nothing, they simply take a cut off the top. They maintain DRM solely to extract an maximum profits and lock in their customers and sellers. It is extortion and should be illegal.

  • For DRM free audiobooks check out Libro.fm.

  • Do you know anyone in real life that uses Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Yes I have been a Lemmy advocate since I joined, but I have only ever gotten one person to use Lemmy. I told one of my daughters friends mom about Lemmy. She does not allow her daughter to use social media. Except for Lemmy.

    So that is it. My one conversion. I have kind of given up on trying to convert people. I still love Lemmy and the Fediverse, but the year of Lemmy mainstream has yet to come.

  • I read it. It was relevant. Otherwise I would not have posted it. I did not clean it up because I was on mobile and it was legible as is.

    I asked several questions and was impressed at the result. I know people do not like LLMs, but they are tools just like a search engine. I am somehow getting Butlerian Jihad vibes.

  • From ChatGPT:

    Ending the Bretton Woods system in 1971 had a cascading effect on corporate profits and income distribution. Wealth shifting toward shareholders and executives rather than workers:

    1 Deregulation of Money and Credit

    Once the dollar was no longer tied to gold, the U.S. government and Federal Reserve had more flexibility in managing the money supply. This led to:

    • Higher inflation, which eroded workers’ real wages.

    • Easier access to credit, fueling corporate financialization (more focus on stock buybacks, mergers, and financial engineering instead of wage growth).

    2 Rise of Shareholder Capitalism

    With the shift away from the gold standard, corporate governance changed. Instead of focusing on long-term growth and worker stability, companies prioritized maximizing shareholder value, which became a dominant ideology by the 1980s (reinforced by Milton Friedman’s theories).

    • Stock Buybacks & Dividends – Companies increasingly used profits to buy back shares, boosting stock prices and benefiting executives/shareholders.

    • Executive Compensation in Stocks – CEO pay shifted from salaries to stock options, aligning their interests with shareholders rather than employees.

    3 Decline in Labor’s Bargaining Power

    As globalization and automation accelerated, companies could move production abroad, weakening the leverage of American workers. Meanwhile:

    • Unions declined, further reducing workers’ ability to demand wage increases.

    • Deregulation in industries like finance, airlines, and trucking shifted power away from labor and toward corporate management.

    4 Explosion of Financialization

    The detachment from gold allowed an unrestricted credit boom, fueling speculative bubbles and making the financial sector more dominant. Instead of reinvesting profits into worker wages or capital expansion, firms:

    • Focused on financial activities (derivatives, leveraged buyouts, etc.), which benefited investors rather than workers.

    • Moved toward short-term profits, cutting costs via outsourcing and automation.

    End Result

    With productivity still rising but wages stagnating, the gains went disproportionately to executives and shareholders. This is why, after 1971, you see charts showing a widening gap between worker pay and corporate profits.

  • Use FIDO2 key as SSH host key?

  • Looks like this happened:

    OpenSSH server has had built-in support for WebAuthn keys since 8.2.

  • Use FIDO2 key as SSH host key?

    Jump

  • What type of key do you have. Yubikey 5 supports multiple protocols including some you can use with SSH:

    • Multi-protocol: YubiKey 5 Series is the most versatile security key supporting multiple authentication protocols including FIDO2/WebAuthn (hardware bound passkey), FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH-TOTP, OATH-HOTP, Smart card (PIV) and OpenPGP.

    SSH would need to implement webauthn to support FIDO.

  • I can see she is holding 7 flapjacks with a pad of butter. I am going to assume the yellow is a eggs. Glass of milk and OJ on the table. The dad has more flapjacks with bacon and eggs. What is the orange stuff in the kids plate and what are the multi-colored things in the bowl?
