Yes, but this issue is not one we should want Google solving. We need better media literacy education throughout life.

Twilight works pretty well

When I was trying out passkeys, things allowed either passkey or password still. But yes, I think this need partially reduces the security benefit of passkeys.

Just answered in a different comment.

It’s a combination of issues. First is compatibility issues. Like logging in on mobile web or app with a passkey doesn’t reliably work for me. It might have been due to the password manager, but for some things the option wasn’t even there afaict. If I’m going to really switch to passkeys, I want it to work more reliably.

The second is usability. Passwords in a password manager are a 2 click entry on the username or password form field. Password managers have streamlined this system over the past decade.

Passkeys, ironically, required more steps when pulling from the password manager, including required clicks in less convenient places. I hope these types of issues get ironed out eventually.

I use a password manager with passkey support and still disabled all my passkeys. The user experience for passkeys is so much worse even when support exists.

Your comment strikes me as particularly harmful and misguided because autistic people are often specifically targeted for abuse and even seen as deserving of abuse.

I am sort of grateful, because you’ve unintentionally really made it starkly clear to me. We should not platform unrepentant enablers of abuse regardless of their prior contributions, it simply causes too much harm.

Pea mushers

The effect (purpose?) of moral panics is to maintain the status quo, scapegoating age old problems as new because there’s a new aspect.

Anyone focusing on social media or phones as the main problem kids and teens are facing today is part of the problem, whether or not it’s intentional.

I see, thanks.

I’m not really an expert on this, but a major piece is the idea that fears (and our thoughts about them) aren’t based in reality. Often times for ND people, they are indeed based in reality. Changing how we think about these things doesn’t help, and can often harm.

It’s obviously very personal, YMMV, but there are good alternatives in many cases.

I was referring to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the CBT that could be harmful to some neurodivergent people.

CBT can be harmful in many cases, including to many neurodivergent people. Just often worth being cautious and looking into alternatives.

Totally. But try getting management to understand.

Grim Dawn has a new expansion coming next year too.

Godus had real promise, I played the early release. Absolutely never delivered on what it promised, implicitly or explicitly, though.

I mean, backing their heyday, word processors were considered a pretty solid upgrade over an electronic typewriter, with a price tag to reflect that.

This seems more similar to word processors prior to PCs taking over that functionality.

This piece was written by a highly-regarded scifi author a year and a half ago. I say that not to complain about the age but rather to marvel at the authors ability to describe so well something that is only becoming clear to many a year and half later.
