I’m definitely holding off on passkeys until that project is finished. I also don’t want vendor lock in and while that seems like the solution, it seems like they just started working on it.

How is it his fault that she doesn’t say she’ll do something different?

Haven’t seen this in this thread yet, but I’m going to say an improved sound system. For me, it was just a soundbar and rear speakers. I live in a tiny apartment so couldn’t fit a full sound system with front speakers, but just that was a huge improvement over just the TV speakers before.

Oh I’m sure she’ll speak against it any minute now, but I wouldn’t hold my breath…

No, up to this point it has been billions of dollars and weapons to Israel with the occasional finger wag to them. Troops on the ground is the natural next step of his policy up to now, and congruent with Kamala’s statements that “Iran is the number one enemy”.

Exactly. Even better lol.

Didn’t she just say the other week there’s nothing she wouldn’t do differently from Biden?

They’re enabling Israel’s aggression by providing military support, even defensive support. Not to mention adding US troops to the area increases chances some will get killed or injured, providing an excuse to enter the conflict even more.

I was about to say, aren’t we just giving them old outdated weapons and equipment anyway that we were going to replace? I mean sure we pass a Ukraine bill every now and then but I don’t think it’s costing us as much as people think.

I was hoping that was the reference 😂

What? I thought you were talking about the security and privacy issues, but now I’m not sure what you’re arguing against. Even your link admits that the changes for improved security only happened after all the security official in the world said how that feature was asking for trouble from a privacy and security standpoint. It was doing what stuff all along? Improved security features? Definitely not. Your screen shots don’t mention any of the stuff in your link, such as the dedicated VPN stored locally, with encryption and keys and PIN, etc.

But people know they will soon, considering Windows is the most popular OS and they have been forcing everyone as hard as they can to always update to the next and newest version.

The link is also interesting but it only happened after the whole world screamed at them about the privacy and security issues of the feature.

I’m definitely saving it though, because it also includes a way to not have to keep seeing the stupid re set up your system screen after every Windows update. Didn’t think I’d run into that in your link, but I couod use that information lol.

Yup.

Reminiscent of the “We got him!” joke Jon Oliver would do for Trump every week when there was some report he was doing something illegal or insane. Except now it’s just reports on Israel’s conduct every month instead.

I wonder what it will take for us to finally give up the joke that we’re a nation of laws equally applied to everyone, or in this case that we care about an “Rules-Based International Order”.

I’m imagining that scene of Family Guy with the “Smooooke” guy but instead it’s “FUUUUUCK”.

However the predicted high numbers of dead caused by famine and disease have not materialized during the last half year.

Says who? Israel? I don’t think you understand exactly what’s happening over there. The devastation is everywhere. Millions are displaced. The health ministry is extremely overwhelmed. Not everyone buried in rubble, starved, or sick is being counted. Whole families are being obliterated with no one left to go over and report their missing or dead family members. There will be tons of missing people who will never be confirmed, because of all these factors. Not to mention, Israel is keeping the fog of war extremely high, not only with all the bombs but the targeted killings of doctors, aid workers, and reporters and journalists.

The estimates are in numerous places. There are the ones by the Lancet, but the letter by the 99 doctors and aid workers who were just in Gaza have their own that’s higher, too. The point is, it’s being corroborated by experts who are actually there, along with being based on past situations like this. I think the doctors actually dealing with this crisis who are on the situation on the ground have a better idea of what’s happening than you do.

That’s only because they haven’t been able to count the dead because they’ve lost the capability. Doctors coming back to the US from Gaza are positive that dead have increased to around 100,000, although ice also seen 200,000 but no one knows now, due to many deaths under rubble, or due to starvation or disease that aren’t able to make it to medical facilities. They don’t basically don’t have the capacity to count too much more.

Not to mention green energy, what with all these hurricanes that will continue to be increasing in intensity and quantity.

Ouch. I’m only one comment in and hitting a tough one. I’m sorry that happened to you =(

I do have a feeling cell phones have made more kids worse since we were in school. I can actively feel my attention spam getting worse from the clip nature of news, short form content on the internet, and endless scroll content of sites like Reddit or even here on Lemmy. And I used to be a good student who read constantly, now it’s just basically my phone lol.
