I like to code, garden and tinker
Can someone explain to me how using biometrics rather than a password/pin to protect from unauthorized access to your passkeys doesn’t violate the “something you have” and “something you know” principle of multi-factor authorization? Most of these implementations seem squarely geared at user convenience at the cost of actual security.
I would say this is a little too pessimistic. Legislation in the EU and California have both forced tech companies hands, it’s why we can download all our data and delete all our data (supposedly, doubtful in reality) on the large tech platforms. The issue I see is getting legislation that attaches itself to a standard controlled by the W3C. You are right that it won’t be something done by the US federal government though.
Disclaimer: I have no experience with Bazzite. A quick web search shows that it’s a distro based on Fedora Atomic. That being said, if you did everything according to the documentation, this is probably a bug that should be raised with the developers.
The first line states /init: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-core-256.11.1-fc41.so: c. This is basically the issue, for whatever reason the shared library for systemd (which if being used, is basically the backbone to your systems startup) isn’t available. The next place I would look is whatever tool/command you use to upgrade/build your system, this might of spit out an error related to why this library could not be built or why it’s inaccessible on the next boot. If the solution isn’t obvious from those logs, I would report this to the distro developers as a ticket in their bug tracker.
As to look at the positives, you have discovered the beauty of immutable/atomic distros. You can just go back to the working version instead of cussing at your PC.
International shipments will be subject to duties and taxes. The seller does not need to notify you of these, this is just the cost of directly importing products from another country.
My question is, why give it for free? Has their product developed enough to win in the AI developer space? Are we reaching the point where you could self-host an AI code assistant as good as copilot? Or are projects such as johnny.ai (renamed, I’m not going to advertise it) challenging Microsoft’s market share in the AI developer space?
My only guess is Microsoft wants you to get used to their ecosystem and further ingrain developers into their development ecosystem. At best, once you are used to their ecosystem you’ll stick with them out of familiarity. At worst, they can use your input (prompts, refactors, etc) to further the development of copilot.
To me this smells of typical subsidizing of a product to capture market share then lock in that market share. Anything I’m missing?
Edit: johnny.ai seems to be a domain offered for resale by godaddy. I didn’t mean to link them but I’ll leave it here, don’t give godaddy money as they are a terrible domain name registrar.
If you are expecting a more windows-like experience, I would suggest using Ubuntu or Kubuntu (or any other distro using Gnome/KDE), as these are much closer to a modern Windows GUI. With Ubuntu, I can use the default file manager (nautilus) and do Ctrl+F and filter files via *.ext, then select these files then cut and paste to a new folder (drag and drop does not seem to work from the search results). In Kubuntu, the search doesn’t recognize * as a wildcard in KDE’s file manager (dolphin) but does support drag/drop between windows.
This assumes a pin is used, which according to the WebAuthn wikipedia page is not generally the case:
The way I read this, a pin is even too much for the end-user and biometrics replace it for usability.
