  • I’ve been thinking about something my college physics professor said. “The universe gravitates towards chaos and destruction. That’s why it takes orders of magnitude longer to create something useful than it is to destroy that same thing. It’s the story of all life everywhere.”

    Project 2025 is dangerous not for the immediate effects but its long term effects. It will take years if not decades to restore faith in our vaccine board. Years to restore our faith in any sort of government action. Decades to restore our relationships with our allies.

    Bearing in mind that we vote for our representatives every two years and we keep voting for people like Trump.

    We are at a cross roads. We will either purge our country of the alt right or we will become the next authoritarian country.

    The window to choose which direction is closing fast.










  • Think of a passkey as a specific “device” getting access to a service.

    Device is in quotes here since it’s really tied to the browser and your session on that browser so if you use multiple accounts or you use incognito mode, you will create a new passkey with each session.

    You set up a passkey on each “device” you are using Google and then manage those keys through Google’s account security web site, deleting keys as needed.

    I’m personally not a fan of passkeys as a replacement for passwords. They provide a second factor but should not be relied upon as the only factor for authentication.
