LOL, that’s wild! Thanks again.

Woah, that worked! Holy confusing UI, batman!

This is great, thank you! No wonder I couldn’t find the curators section in the client’s UI. To expand on their search being shit, if I search for an exact word that is part of a curator’s name/title, it shows no results. The word in this case is “frame”. No results whatsoever, even though I follow a curator that includes that in their title. SMH.

The curator system is a weirdly under talked about, kind of hidden, and under developed system on steam, but I highly recommend exploring it. It’s a subsystem (and a separate follow) of steam groups.

I’ve been trying to follow more Steam curators recently, but they make it very difficult. I basically can’t find the curators section in the regular UI in the Steam client, and even when I go there from a web search and then paste the URL, their search is shit so I can’t find the curators I want.

Literally lol’d at the second half of this post. Good work!

Thanks! I’ve kind of learned to live with it, but I’m waiting for the ergo kit to get back in stock too. I’ve also started getting worried about the lenses, so I’ve just ordered plano lenses to protect them.

Hmmm, for someone complaining that another post makes logical leaps, this one has a pretty glaring contradiction that severely undermines their own argument:

The post is predicated on the idea that a feature of WebAuthn called “attestation”, which is only used in high-assurance and usually corporate scenarios, and usually with physical hardware security keys, will be leveraged to hurt people, somehow. The post posits that a website like X will bait and switch users: first, you get a passkey. Then, later, scary “attested” passkeys! This simply isn’t possible to do because attestation isn’t supported on the web for mass market, consumer authentication. Attestation for passkeys (software-based, syncable credentials) is antithetical to their mass market goals, and would freeze out independent, non-corporate-backed credential managers. It’s an explicit non-goal of the designers of passkeys, who work together in a forum anyone can join. And trust me, websites and apps like banks repeatedly asked for attestation at the beginning of the industry’s passkey journey. The platforms, browsers, and credential management apps have held firm that the goal of passkeys is reducing phishing and not some kind of trusted computing scheme. (And I will note: over my dead body!)

In other words, “attestation is bad and everyone is against it, but it’s a feature of the standard.” What they are really claiming is that there is something that for now is stopping governments and corporations from pushing attestation, but how long will that hold? I didn’t have a horse in this race when I first started reading these posts, but this counter-argument is flawed and it makes me lean toward the camp against passkeys.

I know someone who works at a fairly large public university where TOTP is required. People (mostly students) are still constantly getting phished, despite TOTP. I guess young people don’t have the decades of awareness that some of us have.

Yes, that’s a fair point. Depending on industry behemoths is a precarious situation. Skating on thin ice if you will.

Hoo boy, this is the scariest take of all that I’ve seen so far about this story. This could spell the end of proprietary software on personal computing devices, which would eventually lead to a major threat to personal computing as it currently exists.

In other words, if all proprietary software were to stop releasing versions that we could run on our own devices, the big moneyed interests that currently still promote personal computing (i.e., Microsoft and Apple) would all of a sudden have no reason for doing so. Personal computing hardware manufacturers, who would also have an interest in this, could simply switch to producing server hardware instead. This would leave us with only open source software and hardware for personal computing. From a certain perspective, open source software and hardware sounds like a good result; however, the problem is that it leaves no industry behemoths (read: big money) defending personal computing from future waves of “let’s protect people / the nation from child porn, hackers, and scammers” legislation. Scary scenario for sure.

Ugh, sorry to hear.

How long before the internet is flooded with clips of the little sister saying all kinds of nasty stuff after people prompt inject the AI?

Oh, that’s a bummer! What issue did it have?

For opensuse tumbleweed users: Installing wireless-regdb like the instructions in the OP seems to be required in tumbleweed as well. After that, I was able to use ‘sudo iw reg set’ to set the wireless regulatory domain. Before installing wireless-regdb, that command ran but had no effect on the wireless regulatory domain that was set.

Note that the above does not set it permanently. In order to do that, I had to run the following command (replace XX with the desired regulatory domain two-letter code):

echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=XX"|sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf

Thanks! :)

Haha, thanks, I didn’t know that one. I would honestly love to visit Finland someday.

Cool :)

Same, and exactly all of this. If they want me to do the work that they usually pay someone for, they better offer me a significant discount.

I’m sure you know the old joke:

Good to hear. :) That one is on my list for sure, thanks!
