It definitely is amongst the cleanest energy sources we have today, especially when the choice for most is either oil, coal or nuclear, the choice is easy. Hydro, solar or wind are often not viable because of climate or location reasons. Not to mention that all of these need to be built using concrete, that is not unique to nuclear. Also important is that hydro electricity also dramatically alters the area, killing many animals and moving many species out of their home.

It is very clean. The image below shows what 20 years worth of spent nuclear fuel looks like at the former Maine Yankee plant. This is way smaller than most supermarkets in north america, let alone their parking lots!

To be fair that would not necessarily be because of the blockchain part, more because of the decentralized/federated nature of this theorical network

One of the rare use cases of a blockchain actually being useful. A federated internet archive that uses a blockchain to validate that the saved data has not been altered by a malicious actor trying to tamper with proofs

That would be really cool but horribly inefficient because of the sheer amount of storage required

Your comments on the display are surprising, because I've not seen anyone else say the screen looks dull on the newer iPhones

If you're still looking for an upgrade (because the SE will be a significant downgrade even from the 12 mini), the 13 mini is basically the same as the 12 mini, but with a bit better battery life and slightly improved marketing. it's also possible they will have a 13 mini in stock as a refurbished model

Yes but when you are logged in, you can add the passkey that belongs to the new device to your account

For 2 reasons:

• I want to sync my credentials that cannot be made unique and revocable (ie passwords). I can have a single passkey per device, I cannot have a password per device for a same account. I also have to memorize a password, and I have hundreds that I may need to access while I am away and only have my phone.
• I use one because currently I have not found a convenient way to save local passkeys on Android and my Linux PC.

There are already systems in place that allow temporary passkey sharing, for example with a QR code (CaBLE) https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-passkey-qr-code

I agree and I still store my passkeys in proton pass, but that's more because there's no real option for storing them locally only. I really like passkeys and they make me optimistic about the future, it's just that I think the way they should work is that each device should have a passkey registered to an account, so that the access can then be revoked if the device was compromised. And it's even convenient in this way with the QR codes that you can use to temporarily share a passkey to then be able to add the new device.

I read the post more closely and saw that this isn't about syncing the keys across password managers, it's about transfering them to a different password manager/device. In that case I'm okay with the initiative. This is to prevent lock-in and I'm all for it.

I have one, but I use it as a second factor because it does not have a way of identifying me

I don't like that passkeys are portable, this kind of defeats the entire purpose. The way they were sold to me is the following: it's 2 factors in one. The first is the actual device where the key lives, and the second, the user verification, like a pin, face scan, fingerprint etc. If it's synced across the cloud, there's no longer the first factor being the unique key on the unique device.

Granted, passkeys even without the first factor are still magnitudes better in terms of convenience and security compared to passwords, but it just disappoints me a little that there are no good options to save passkeys on my local device only, with no cloud sync.

If anyone knows of a local-only passkey manager app for android, as well as the same as a firefox extension, I'd love to know about it!
