Until someone can explain to me how I can transfer, manage and control my passkeys without syncing them to some hostile corporation's cloud infrastructure, passkeys will remain a super hard sell for me.

Here's my (fallible) understanding of the nugget of truth behind the soy nonsense.

Plants contain something called phytoestrogen. It has a similar shape and function in plants to estrogen in humans. Soy contains a lot of it.

However, since it is made of different chemicals to estrogen it does not act like estrogen in humans.

Still, because it has the word "estrogen" in it, a lot of idiots think it will cause you to become weak and grow tits if you eat soy. You know, like a woman. Hence the "soyboy" memes and the use of the term as an insult, mostly by woman-hating alt-right goons.

It's possible your friend is covertly falling for the fallacy, or perhaps their concern is several times removed; i.e. they fell for someone's lie based on a lie based on a lie based on bigotry.

Sounds like he's hoping thugs will show up and scare some people into not voting in states he'd probably have lost?

Reminder that Asimov devised the 3 laws then devoted multiple novels to showing how easily they could be circumvented.

Interesting word choice. China wants to "dominate", the US wants to "lead".

Unironically yes. Gravity is the weakest of the 4 main forces.

We need competition like GOG. EGS is shit, we need competition better than EGS.

Fun fact, making extensions for this requires you to learn a new language called X++ that is based on .net framework 4.7. Development is done only on azure-hosted VMs that contain the application code and sql server and web host and visual studio with the special X++ build tools, all on one host that runs like shit at your expense.

I could almost see this being done on purpose to highlight the necessity of taking their courses seriously. It'd be a bold move that hinges on the intelligence of people viewing the sign, though.

Income tax is such a bitch to deal with. I used to support the idea of replacing it with GST/VAT because then I'd not have to deal with it. But then someone pointed out that disproportionately benefits the rich (who mostly just hold wealth rather than spend it) and disadvantages the poor (who cannot avoid paying for things).

So fuck it. Make it all income tax and get rid of the others! :P

(In before this is also a bad idea somehow)

I dunno what you guys are doing that makes your nextcloud die without touching it. Mine runs happily until I decide to update it, and that usually goes fine, too. I don't use docker for it, tho.

Ah, I can see how this could happen. Each time you log on you get a different VM and EA didn't think about that before tossing the game up on geforce now (assuming that's how it works; never used the service. If you installed the game yourself then I guess it sucks that's how their DRM works).
