By itself it can be used as a passwordless system of authentication. Added to a password is can be used as a second factor in a multifactor authentication system.

This is the most dystopian shit I've seen in a while:

Google and Microsoft are pushing websites to replace passwords with their fingerprint scans and facial recognition.

so I'm reading through the Mac Plus manual, and I'm struck by how alien some of these concepts must have been.

They have multiple pages devoted to how to use a mouse.

On the other hand, the OS has a very consistent workflow and design language and methodology. They can explain complicated, abstract concepts in simple ways because they are consistent.

Apple of 1985 did a lot of things worth admiring (and a lot of shit, but that's another story.)

Wrote a #ClojureScript bot to delete your old tweets:

https://gitlab.com/Numergent/birdshot

It was inspired by this post from Vicky Lai on making her tweets ephemeral: https://vickylai.com/verbose/delete-old-tweets-ephemeral/

Want to know what took me the longest? All the hemming-and-hawing about testing it on my actual account.

And I'm a #privacy nut. No wonder people have a hard time deleting Facebook.

(To c&p something I said over on twitter because I think y'all will appreciate it more)

When Github goes down, FOSS effectively stops right now. It's tragic that we've allowed a single company to gain such control over the open commons.

I recognize that we are in this situation mostly because the 'distributed' side of git is only usable by experts. And I recognize the niche that GH fills (ticketing and PRs in lieu of emailed patches)
