I know some webhosting provider that used one VM for every user. Now they moved to using this. Firstly low resource usage. If one uses ZFS or btrfs then one can save storage as in common bits are not duplicated across system containers. Note this is a system container - not traditional container. This one can be rebooted to get the previous state. It is not ephemeral.


All phones ask for PIN or pattern in addition to face/fingerprint. Use that.

For the average user this is safe enough. (i.e) keep google/apple password safe. Then all is fine.

You don't ever have to even sign into FAANG if you can put up with inconvenience.

- Buy a U2F FIDO key like OPEN SOURCE https://solokeys.com/ or Yubikey etc - You can register this key directly at the website or - Use https://bitwarden.com/passwordless-passkeys/ - Every password manager need to implement it obviously

I would assume apps that are non-geek oriented will do quicker adoption. In my experience, many people are looking at passkey like a

- Password manager that is automatically working fine on their phone - Apple or Google takes care of everything. And users think of it like 'Sign in with Google/Apple equivalent'. Press fingerprint/face-ID and all just works.

Only PITA I expect is that banks type dinosaurs will screw up this (like they did with 2FA - with custom apps and non-standard implementations). I wish W3C would some way ban these but banks are somehow escaping standards.


TBH, this is better than custom UI that blocks password manager copy paste.


I definitely listened in a legal podcast that somehow juries award lower sentences to road accident deaths as compared to others. Seems strange.


And you’re using a throw away to make unsubstantiated claims without reference. You’ve given no reasons to take your comments as made in good faith.


I just use the term throwaway instead of JohnDoe. A quick search:

If I find the legal podcast link then I will link it here.


Roflmao... Okay, I've only been here a wee bit but even I recognized the username despite having memory issues (ironically here, caused by being hit no less than 5 times as a pedestrian and cyclist)....


Does this mean the legal team do not understand tech? How come a company like Google/YouTube have no checks-balances when sending things like this? Or do the top-level not have powers over legal team?


> Does this mean the legal team do not understand tech

Considering how they keep calling the random id number that identifies your video a "rolling cipher", of course they don't.


Please don't give such justification. Power corrupts, misuse.

- Would you also allow your team mates to know same data about you to them?

- That would be a level playing field.

- Or at least MS tools should 'automatically' report to the User that an Admin did LOOK into their habits.

- This way you will not have intelligent people working in your team. I am saddened that Google does this.

- Are your teammates aware that you can do this?


If anyone from gitpod is reading please

- stop sending me emails that your 'workspace' is going to be deleted spam emails constantly.

- I have disabled all notifications but still get constant emails telling of new plans etc.

- Dark or grey patterns: The unsubscribe is 'written' in smallest font size, and grey - impossible to click.

Please Stop


Thanks for posting this. Will follow up.


thank you.



This gets worse when reading developer documentation

- Github does not allow for 'web' VSCODE to have English (if I use non-English OS locale or browser).

- Google - developer sites (API) translate it to local language. While one can chane it; for reasons unknown this reverts back if one logout and relogin. BTW, most EU devs reading developer documentation still want to read things in English, as it helps better communication with rest of the world.
