    I mostly sit down when I pee because my cat likes to spend quality time when I'm on the toilet and he gets upset if into in the bathroom and don't sit down.

    Remember manliness is not caring about how other people define manliness.

    Randomness is often desirable in party games because otherwise it's usually a small number of people who are competitive and the rest are bored/quit.

    The strength of many reddit communities is in the people themselves, and unless you're really into Linux or star trek, the people aren't really here.

    I assume this is about the fact that a lot of birds see into the near IR and their coloration is often very bright in that range.

    When you're spending $300M on a game budget you don't want to take a lot of risks. But I don't think there's any lack of creativity coming from the market as a whole. Most dire pronouncements on the state of games are only really true if you ignore indies.

    Like honestly, I think GOW and Spider-Man and Horizon are fine, but I'd rather see Sony put out several AA games that take risks than crank out another sequel to those.

    If you're paranoid about this, go buy a yubikey and use that to secure your device/access to your passkeys. Being able to secure your own data instead of relying on the admin who may or may not know what they're doing to secure the server is an advantage of passkeys.

    It''s really up to the end device (and the user of said device) to decide how much security to put around the local keys. But importantly, it also requires access to the device the passkeys are stored on which is a second factor. And notably many of the implementations of it require biometrics to unlock.

    The "one password" thing is also true of password managers, of course. One thing about having one master passphrase is that if you do not have to remember 50 of them, then you can make that passphrase better then you otherwise might, plus it should be unique, which prevents one of the most common attack vectors.

    If you've ever used ssh it's very similar to how ssh keys work. You create a cryptographic key for the site; this is the passkey itself. When you go to "log in" the client and server exchange cryptographic challenges, which also verifies the site's identity (so you can't be phished...another site can't pretend to be your bank, and there are no credentials to steal anyway). Keys are stored locally and are generally access restricted by various methods like PIN, passphrase, security key, OTP, etc. When you're entering your PIN it's how the OS has chosen to secure the key storage. But you've also already passed one of the security hurdles just by having access to that phone/computer. It is "something you have".

    Been noticing a spammer who set up their own instance and can't see a fast way to just block the whole instance, either from the user menu, or from navigating to the instance. I may just be missing it.

    I'm wondering if I'm just missing how to do this. I don't want to see posts from porn communities when I'm browsing sync in public. I'm OK with blurred NSFW posts from communities which are not marked NSFW. I would really prefer not to have to filter out every single one manually.

    Any recs on a BIFL key chain? Those rings always get bent over time, looking for something sturdy. Might just be a flaw in the design because if you can bend it enough to get a key on, you can probably bend it out of shape over time.
