Technology@lemmy.world•Passkeys Explained: The End of PasswordsEnglish
1·1 month agoOk I see a lot if discussion on this topic but no one seems to have mentioned the main feature of the spec that makes them phishing resistant: presence detection. This is what makes FIDO resistant to credential replay. The spec is not perfect but it prevents most common phishing attacks.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How Do You Feel About Professional Sports in 2025?English
4·1 month agoI enjoy watching sports, but I do not obsess over it. I have a MythTV DVR setup to record OTA broadcasts. It records some matches, I watch those matches. I skip all the commercials and a lot of the boring bits TBH. Sometimes I go watch highlights on Youtube of my favorite teams.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•How do you manage your Steam Deck as a family device?English
4·2 months agoI let my kids play on my profile, but my kids were already teens when I bought it. The main problem I ran into was when they were playing and I wanted to play online on my pc I had to ask them to go into offline mode. I buy games that they want on my account and they can play online the steamdeck or from their laptop with family sharing.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Should we treat environmental crime more like murder?English
4·2 months agoThe real crime here is the corruption of our political system by wealthy corporations. They know the truth but deploy vast resources to spread doubt and uncertainty. Go read Merchants of Doubt about how the same scientists who spread doubt about the links of cancer to smoking have been deployed in the global warming debate.

This is fraud and corruption and is a crime. No need to invent a new system of justice.

Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human VisitorsEnglish
1·2 months agoThat makes sense. It is interesting to read the original blog post from Wikimedia:
https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/10/17/new-user-trends-on-wikipedia/
and what they say you can do if you want to help:
"Active volunteers can further help meet this moment by working with Wikimedia Foundation teams to test out new experiences and tools on Wikipedia. As the internet changes rapidly, this is a moment to consider what parts of Wikipedia should change (and what parts should not), while staying true to the promise of human-centered, free knowledge for the world.
A specific area where volunteers can help is with our new readers teams. We welcome you to review the current experiments we are running and help us answer key questions about what will most help readers. Please join the readers teams on their talk page and sign up for their newsletter to share your thoughts and learn more about their work. We’ll also be reaching out to communities soon with both live and on-wiki ways to talk about these trends, and what they mean for the Wikimedia projects."

Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human VisitorsEnglish
7·2 months agoEvery time someone visits Wikipedia they make exactly $0. In fact, it costs them money. Are people still contributing and/or donating? These seem like more important questions to me.

Technology@lemmy.world•Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubbleEnglish
13·2 months agoThere is definitely a bubble. But also what Nvidia is doing is smart. They have boatloads of cash. They are investing that cash in the companies that are using their products to create money making services. If one of them can create a killer app or viable service this will create demand for their products and they will have an ownership stake in it. Is this guaranteed or even likely? Probably not. We have reached the point where we were in 1996 where the chairman of the fed came out and said we are in a period of “irrational exuberance.” That bubble took four more years to pop. This one may end quicker, but it is impossible to tell when it will end or what will come out of it from where we sit today.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft is endorsing the use of personal Copilot in workplaces, frustrating IT adminsEnglish
361·2 months agoThis is stupid. As an IT administrator a quick glance at my logs shows that everyone is using ChatGPT. No one cares about Copilot.
edit: So I guess the point is that IT admins are frustrated that Copilot for users in an org is $30 per month vs $10 per month for a home user. Again, I don’t buy it. If I think of all the ways MS is screwing me, this is not high on the list. Microsoft’s predatory bundling practices have driven the cost of their services to a ridiculous point, well before this Copilot noise.
Fair point. I have worn many hats through my IT career, I started out as a Windows NT admin back when it was cutting edge technology in the 90s. I fell in love with a text editor called Ultraedit that my org had a site license for. When I left that org after many years I missed Ultraedit and was delighted to find Notepad++ had most of features I loved. Now the course of my career has found me become a Linux admin and personal linux user for many years now. I have been using Notedpad-qq for years, but recently it seems to have gotten worse and I have had instances where crashes resulted in lost data. I liked the idea of having the same general UI and features as Notepad++ because I still need to use Windows at work. But I am reluctantly admitting maybe it is a time for a change.
Apologies for the digression, but I wanted to share some of the waypoints in my journey that influenced my personal choice.
I have gotten a lot of great feedback to this post, but if I had to give points for the most spot-on answer, you would get it. Thanks!



How could this possibly be better than Netflix’s recommendation engine or even just asking chatgpt?
