Introducing passkeys in Chrome.
This is very, very bad; this is the first attempt at having completely closed platforms, where you must use an “authorized device” (controlled of course by Google, Microsoft, Apple) to log into anything. Or to even do anything at all.
This is to kill any unauthorized way to be on the internet — which, these days, is to be at all. This is merely a necessary portion of the American/Western version of the Chinese social credit system. And of course, the security screamers are going to love it as they tell us we just don’t care about security if we don’t want our own lives and identities locked away from us while we are being constantly surveilled.
You motherfuckers are dumb, any of you who buy the “Firefox must take everything away because ‘security'” and “we are mandating HTTPS everywhere because we care about you and want to keep you safe” hogwash. Those efforts were all leading to this and worse points beyond. I know a lot of Boomers believe corporations love you but you younger folks who read this certainly should not buy into that absurd way of seeing the world — but so many of you do for unfathomable reasons.
Google does not love you. Nor Apple, nor Microsoft. This is not for your own good and it will only harm you. And too many of you seem just fine with that.
