    Modern social media: Feed algorithm bots curating and serving up bot-created content for other bots to create fake engagement on so that advertising bots can find the real humans that still exist in the desolate wastelands and market them bot-created ads.

    We have Remembrance Day (Nov 11, similar to Veterans Day in the US).

    After that (sometimes even right after Halloween) Christmas invades.

    Well, it's a full keypair being stored: Authenticators like Bitwarden need to first provide the public key to the relying party (RP) so the RP can issue the encrypted auth challenge. The challenge then is handed back to the authenticator, user verification happens, then the challenge is signed by the private key and sent back to the RP for verification to complete the auth ceremony.

    You're thinking about "device-bound passkeys". Bitwarden and any other third-party credential manager leverages "synced passkeys" because they don't control the hardware.

    Synced passkeys are actually called out in the FIDO Alliance's FAQs as preferred since they more closely align with the desired replacement of traditional passwords.

    It's an interesting thought to consider that without access to centralized distribution platforms like app stores, something incredibly similar is created in its place: The so-called "super-app" (e.g. WeChat, Alipay).

    I have no context about why NiceVancouver became its own subreddit, but IMHO community fragmentation is definitely what we don't need, especially with the user base so small.

    How the people of Saskatchewan keep these clowns employed as their leaders is a mystery. The province is rapidly becoming the Mississippi of Canada.

    All bars, all the time.

    Personally I don't see any benefits for the loops, and a couple major drawbacks IMHO:

    • Loops are less stable and require more physical force exerted by the user in order to gain a minimal amount of stability by pulling the loop taught.
    • Loops feel dirtier and far harder to clean. Of course given that it's public transit it's not going to be fully sanitized or anything, but I feel like users can more easily take steps to protect themselves using bars (wiping the bar quickly before grabbing it, or shielding themselves by holding it through a piece of clothing).

    Personally I wouldn't be too dismissive upfront. Relevant part of the article:

    But the more charitable — and, Shariff believes, more accurate — view could be related to the bystander effect.

    The well-studied theory posits that people are less likely to offer help if there are many other people around. It could be because they think other people are better-positioned to help, or because they do not know what to do in an unfamiliar situation and look to others for cues to the acceptable social response.

    Compare a car crash today vs in the years before everyone had a globally-connected computer with an attached high-definition camera in their pocket. Back then horrific car crashes still happened, and what did the majority of bystanders also do back then? Just stood and watched.

    You could potentially reach out to the planners of various climate-related strategic projects happening on campus. Many of them (like this one) have a component considering transportation and mobility that could be a vector for changes like what you're proposing.

    Just found this community! What are you currently and/or looking to drive?

    Hi folks, Just found this community and curious about what everyone is either using as a daily driver or have got their eyes on in the EV space. I'm from Vancouver, and a few years ago my partner and I bought a new Chevrolet Volt PHEV as a "bridge" car to get us through the next while as charging infrastructure scales out. We get about 100km of electric range in the warmer times and 70km in the winter. Perfect for our needs around Vancouver, while still giving us flexibility to drive out to Whistler or Banff for our vacation roadtrips. So what are you driving?

    Hey what's up everyone. I'm one of the Reddit refugees that purged their accounts and searched the Fediverse for a new home. Happy to be here! AMA about Vancouver, the tech industry, my dog, or taking long walks outside :)
