The private key doesn’t need to be memorized, it stays saved on the device that the client software is on, allowing the user to integrate mobile device’s biometric reader (fingerprint/face/iris/whatever) to confirm identity, or use security key, there are already different ways to implement it that doesn’t require pw memorization.

I’ve got a long unmemorizable string for Firefox sync, Brave, Proton Mail/Pass, it’s still more secure than pw memorized

@Aatube @maegul@hachyderm.io @1984 @mindlight @maegul@lemmy.ml
Couldn’t it be like public-private keys such PGP protocols, where the users have the private key and the platforms have the public key? It’s seems quite good privacy, some would even say it’s “pretty good privacy”.

@PlasticPigeon I can reply on Lemmy with Mastodon (with Mastodon character limit), and never tried to comment on pixelfed or peertube, but Beehaw can interact with all lemmy and kbin. I primarily use Mastodon and a secondarily Beehaw.

@PlasticPigeon
I have a Mastodon account, and a Beehaw (more civil version of Lemmy, more moderation, no downvoting), and i have no pixelfed or peertube (fediverse YouTube) accounts and yet I can access any account/community/hashtag from any service by either of my accounts. Mastodon has a character limit that beehaw/lemmy doesn’t but Mastodon is about following individuals while lemmy is about subreddit/community/magazine/etc that anyone can participate in.

@frostbiker @Treczoks
I’ve got a local grocery/corner store (long shelf life but also milk and eggs) that is a Amazon delivery point and I don’t know there’s a size limit but it essentially turns the corner store to a big box store all without a 18-wheeler coming down the street. It would be nice to have competition with Amazon, that the same corner store could provide the same last mile service to a myriad of retailers, it wouldn’t take much a infrastructure investment for that transition.

Best driving experience in the world? The Netherlands, because when you shift a significant number of people off the roads into alternative transport the remaining drivers have less traffic and higher average speeds than an over-reliance on cars.

Risak is just committing the same mistake Robert Moses made 80 - 50 years ago, building more roads to “solve” traffic but it just induced more car traffic - - and then repeat again and again.

@kier @kingludd there’s a cultural harm that you’re not a real man/'Murican/Christian/conservative/etc if you aren’t living a life of the non-cosmopolitan by riding a bike or interested in anything else other than car-dependency and all the ancillary things that come with that, since that starts to bleed into the suburbs and even urban areas. There’s white-collar workers doing their morning commute in full-size pickups telling themselves that mass transit is for dirty poor people not therm

@covert_czar I;m reading this from Mastodon, did you see this message?

@erogenouswarzone similar to product placement, it’s not done by production companies because piracy is occurring, it’s down regardless of the state of piracy to maximize profits. Labor scarcity goes away when wages reflect the demand and profit maximization is disregarded; movies disregarding profit maximization would then not have product placement and it’s not a function of piracy, that’s just the scapegoat for things to take place of the profit maximization. Profit motive≠profit maximization

@erogenouswarzone piracy isn’t the reason why there’s product placement was my point, since it occurred from the start of Public Relations and the practice of earned media and payola. Eliminating piracy wouldn’t affect product placement, and claiming so sounds like those ignoramuses who say if minimum wage is increased that jobs would be automated away - min wage has remained the same for over a decade and jobs are being automated anyway, jobs will be eliminated regardless of min wage laws

@erogenouswarzone @s20 oh right, because that wasn’t the case with movies like Transformers (again GM) or Superman and Marlboro being conspicuously visible throughout the movie, or ET when Reese’s pieces paid to be a central part of the movie

@hoodlem @Blaze I started out on Masthead dot social as my Mastodoninstance & then it imploded without an explanation, now I’m on a really small instance administered by someone I followed when on Masthead. There should be someway to migrate your account even without your original instance being involved, like a PGP public-private key implementation, getting users to normalize floating from instance to instance without a hiccup would alleviate concerns about the glut of users on 4-5 instances

@favrion @1stTime4MeInMCU tankies is derogatory term of communists who regardless of reality excuse everything that authoritarian governments do. It was coined to describe Stalinists who defended USSR rolling in tanks on Hungary in 1958. They’re the mirror image of MAGA cultists who will be the first to defend Trump when he inevitably goes ahead and shoots someone in the middle of 5th Ave.

My 1st interaction with a tankie was a Canadian youtuber who made videos defending North Korea, not satire
