RE: https://hachyderm.io/@rmondello/115729873316805720 I have said this before: if you use a password manager correctly, #passkeys adds less value. But this isn’t about you. Your friends and family benefit much more from passkeys. If you are telling your friends and your audience not to use […]

I am not sure why people seem surprised that undocumented workers are often people who have been in their communities for years or decades. But it could be because people assume the rules for immigration are reasonable and just. We assume there is a path to green card and citizen. There isn’t.

We should feed people AND we should push for a living wage. If you work full time and also qualify for SNAP, it’s your employer getting the “benefit”. From: @ThomHartmann https://mstdn.social/@ThomHartmann/115497693846933660

Very long thread about #passkeys, why they're MFA and to what degree they're not, whether this matters, or whether the term MFA is actually useful to gauge security, and why the whole discussion about physical tokens vs. Passkeys is irrelevant and why Passkeys basically are no real security […]

When I try to change my password, if you block paste I don't feel more secure, I wonder what other incompetence is hiding in your site's software stack. And if you aren't letting me paste, _and_ you want annoying bullshit in my password, at least let give me a button to let me see what the fuck […]

I just voted #yeson50 so we can cancel out Trump’s cheating. Join me to help save the nation. We can’t unilaterally disarm while Republicans are still running REDMAP full time. Some estimates are that GOP gerrymandering already got them 26 seats. Prop 50 cancels out GOP fückery and then expires […]

Hi @IceCubesApp I love the app but I’m hating the Load More button that just appeared. I prefer to start with old posts and scroll up to see posts from old to new. Now, refresh shows me 10 newest posts and each tap on Load More brings slightly older posts so I am forced to read new to old […]

Great (long) post by Anat S. Our best leaders are those who have a strong set of principles and aren’t shy about saying so. https://www.weekendreading.net/p/bringing-a-survey-to-a-gun-fight

What's the name for this type of stupid UI bug? I see something on my screen and I click on it. The UI gets redrawn or shifted so items on the screen are shifted The device finally acts on my click but applies it to some UI element that moved under my cursor after I clicked Is the correct […]

How to publish on Ghost and share to other socials https://circleboom.com/blog/automate-blog-sharing/

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is the exact premise that Republicans do not agree about. Their proposition is mass immiseration, mass expulsion and mass murder. The only way to oppose political violence and avoid further political violence is to contend directly with that fact.

Regarding the bogus notion that Charlie Kirk was doing politics "the right way," Mike Masnick nails it here: "When we praise bad-faith performers for “engaging” with their critics, we’re not celebrating democratic norms—we’re rewarding those who exploit them." […]

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Look, I don’t care about Charlie Kirk and I agree that gun violence is terrible and we should fight gun violence and fight for reasonable gun control. Do you know who would disagree with all that more than anyone? Charlie Kirk. Makes me wonder if he reconsidered his views in his final hour. Hmm

Who is in charge of Progressivism these days? Is there a web site or mailing list? Is there a wiki with our core values, or a daily feed to remind #progressives what we have in common and what we should be doing next? Serious question, who is doing this work?

Is there a #progressive think tank, or a document library somewhere for #progressives? Among the Progressive groups doing good work in the US, are there any great websites where we can find documents like * Why are we Progressive, and what that means * What we should do to have more Progressive […]

Republicans actually killing people + Democrats not Progressive enough = Join up and vote for better Democrats Seriously #progressives there’s no third party coming to save us. The Dems are the only other player in this race. Organize locally and get in their tent, vote in their primary!

#progressives There are three ways to make #democrats more Progressive like us * Call Dems in Congress and tell them you want them to be more Progressive * Vote in Dem primary for more Progressive candidates * Run for something, state Rep or county DNC We need to join up and push from inside.

I do think #passkeys are a big improvement over plain passwords for most people. But I also think they are not really “ready for prime time” and people really need to keep a real strong password too, for sites they care about. Passkeys are NOT ready to replace regular passwords, especially if […]

What happens when you lose your password: Get a recover link using your email or SMS What happens when you lose your passkey: Get a recover link using your email or SMS People are saying this is a problem unique to #passkeys, but the same problem exists with passwords. If you try to educate […]

I need a stronger word than “exhausted” to describe trying to survive the constant technology rug pulls. Maybe you could—instead—make a product that provides a valuable service in exchange for hard-earned money? I really don't want to have to constantly worry if my inputs will be used to train […]

Good points by Thom Hartmann here. Democrats unilaterally disarmed and we need to get tough and represent our core values as forcefully as we can! […]

The Progressive Coalition revolves around Democrats, and cannot happen without them. But it must also include other Progressive forces. As Progressives we cannot rely on Dems to organize and drive the actions we need. The Plan doesn’t work without them, but they also cannot stop us! Take Over DNC!

The US system makes it impossible for a #ThirdParty to have any power. BUT it is possible for a major party to die, and another to take its place. One party will totally go to Hell Everyone joins the other one Then they split Go join the Dems and push for RCV, #FusionVoting and PR in primaries!

The resistance to fascism came in many forms, some overt, some hidden, some violent, some not, pretty much all of them against the “rules” at the time. Every resistance chipped away at the fascists in power. Do what you can. It may be against the norms. This is a post about #gerrymandering

Plastic recycling is mostly a sham. Try to avoid buying stuff in plastic whenever you can. But also vote for state house reps that will vote for truth in labeling and limit plastic takeout containers,etc […]

GOP is afraid of the GOP base. DNC is afraid of the GOP base. Neither are concerned with the Dems or Progressive base. We really need separate groups to organize themselves, but also be in a coalition. Organizing people large scale is hard work. DNC won’t do this work. #indivisible #WFP #moveon

@TonyStark Sorry I was trying to agree with you. “DNC is a fundraising arm” I agree “Don’t criticize Democrats” Not trying to be critical, but if DNC is just for fundraising, who is doing the organizing work? I’m not trying to bash DNC or Democrats but I’m honestly asking, who is doing the […]

In 2022, we led research with @wmtfaction.bsky.social on talking taxes. I had hunch that "fair share" - as in make corporations/rich pay theirs - fell flat. Fair being in eye of beholder & thus possible justification for flat tax. Sure enough, we found "pay what they owe" tested better.

I think this should be considered a form of journalism: gathering opinion data from “sources” (real people) and being able to validate whether your sources are in the same district, and if their data matches a registered voter (though the tool should report all opinions whether registered voter […]

I'm not saying the polls and Congresscritter feedback are being manipulated. But when your elected officials do things that seem inexplicable, one way that might be happening is if the inputs they receive about what their electorate wants -- and therefore influence whether or not they will be […]

Vote with your HEART in the PRIMARY Vote with your TEAM in the GENERAL If you don’t show up for the primary and then show up all fussy in November, it don’t work like that You could say this about primaries: politicians should appeal, sell, convince, listen For the general, you’re not choosing […]

Posting from Ubuntu today. 24.04 long term release -- support for five years. It's very freeing to realize I really don't need to be in Windows any longer. MediaMonkey is the only requirement, and while that'll be a bit of a pain to run through a VM, it's the only one.

Democrats are not rising to meet this moment. We need to organize ourselves. I honestly don’t know what that will look like but we have to do something. We also cannot do this without them either. We need a strong Progressive leadership that includes and invites Democrats but is clearly larger […]

There’s no owners manual for your vote. Nobody tells voters that third parties can’t win and that the opposite side *wants* you to vote for third parties, Mickey Mouse, or ride the couch. Nobody tells us that we have to show up to PRIMARIES to get better choices, and we have to come together in […]

“What this means, dear friends, is that our responsibility on this PRIDE month is to place ourselves in harm’s way on their behalf; to move and speak and live in such a way that it is costly to us. We cannot claim to be advocates of the LGBTQ community without standing at town halls and school […]

Undocumented workers are workers! They are the new “untouchables” and the new three-fifths compromise. * Taxation without representation * Getting paid minimum wage or less * Conditions are terrible. Complain, you’re out Treating ANY workers badly hurts ALL the workers! Let them earn green cards!

Wow, please stop reposting Trump’s wall of text with your 1-2 line reply. Summarize what he is talking about and why he is lying. Say what the TRUTH is about the situation. Say why people should care and what they should do. Do not give him all that real-estate and repetition.

If you don’t already have a sign, consider this: YOU’RE NOT THE KING YOU’RE JUST THE CLOWN PRINCE #nokings #indivisible

I didn’t know #FusionVoting turned GOP from a #thirdParty to a major party. Let’s use FusionVoting to make GOP a third party again!

I’m with John! “I'm a white person who doesn't want to live in a nation made up of nothing but white people.” “I have no desire to spend the rest of my days in an America that is devoid of the diversity and bereft of the multiculturalism that America once aspired to.” “I hope enough white […]

WRONG WAY: Posting a huge screenshot of exactly what he said and then your reply RIGHT WAY: “The truth is __. Trump is lying about __ because he wants __. He says (short summary) which is a lie. The truth is __ and we should __” Read G. Lakoff. Don’t do Trumps work for him by posting screenshots.

Honest question: where are actual #progressives gathering right now? Where is the conversation happening? There are tons of cool people to follow but I’m not seeing real conversations. I’m seeing a lot of rage at news, and mocking Trump and Elon which is awesome, but actual strategy and plans? …
