Interestingly, Firefox handles all three like a champ. Even uses XDG portals so I can share a single window or just audio if I want. Chrome took ages to get support, and it's still hit & miss.

There are "humanizer" scripts that these people like to use. This one is not the typical style I see in my online moderator adventures, which is usually "lowercase everything and remove all punctuation except periods", as if we are repelled by em-dash use and not the tortured prose.

I like the removal of a random definite article, to simulate an ESL writer and garner sympathy for using LLMs as a "tool to clean up posts". Heavens, they would never even think of using their Claude subscription to be a slop factory, that would cross a line.

It's such an important problem that it is sucking all available VC money into an exponentially-growing number of startups promising to make sandboxed agents safe and usable. In other news, MCP exists.

Honest question: which startups are trying to write a sandboxed-by-default easy to configure bash meant to be safely used by agents?

It's not "bash", it's containers/VMs/whatever that are isolated from the host and run the agent, which can access a shell to do work.

Huh, I don't see that in the permissions list. I do see:

    - run foreground service with the type "connectedDevice"
    - discover and pair nearby Bluetooth devices
    - run foreground service
    - control vibration
    - Google Play billing service
    - run at startup
    - Google Play license check
    - have full network access
    - view network connections
    - ask to ignore battery optimizations
    - prevent phone from sleeping
    - connect to paired Bluetooth devices
    - show notifications

I also see "In-app purchases" for "$9.99 - $24.99 per item", which is more of a turnoff for me personally.

It's not in the permission list, it's in the "data safety" section on Google Play

Germany's decommissioned nuclear, and subsequent concentration of base load in Russian gas-fired plants, is certainly a lede your post is doing its best to bury.

Or that Germany shares electricity with the EU, so that everyone is getting subjected to those pains with fuel sources being cut.

> Germany's decommissioned nuclear, and subsequent concentration of base load in Russian gas-fired plants, is certainly a lede your post is doing its best to bury.

Nuclear is good (no CO2 emissions and stable energy supply), but it's not cheaper than coal. Moreover, that the requirement for gas plants went up because of the volatility of solar and wind is certainly a lede your post is doing its best to bury.

That quote is referring to the mechanism for backing up passkeys that only exist on a hardware security key, which deliberately does not exist. Moving keys onto a security key is possible for some devices, but that is a deliberate compromise, as these devices are designed to generate their own keypairs and never leak secret key material (thus preventing backups).

Ops, I may have misinterpreted. I read it as take a passkey and copy/store it inside a hw sec key. Thanks for clarifying!

Passkeys are somehow 100% seamless for me, except for two services that have somehow screwed up the implementation: Google, and Okta. In Google's case, they have made it so that if you _ever_ add a passkey to their password manager, it somehow refuses to work with a third-party password manager going forward. In Okta's case, the admin policy UI makes it next to impossible to have passkey-only login without their Fastpass app or an oldschool password login.

FIDO authenticator attestation is dead for consumer-facing RPs. Apple made the right call and simply refuses to support it outside of MDM environments.

Remember when various crypto systems were barred from international export because they were treated like munitions? When you had to get what amounted to an arms dealer license to distribute open-source software overseas?

Yeah, this is just as much bullshittery. It's worse than a total ban, it's a naked power grab by billionaires that doesn't need to happen. Regulatory capture at its worst.

Absolutely not a good read. Informative, but it tortures the language, as is usual for slop.

I think, sadly, I'm becoming immune to slop because I (till now) believed I'm good at reading through LLM junk and that read quite normally to me. How annoying. My apologies.

I think you hit the nail on the head! Oh, sorry...

But yeah, lots easier to skim slop with practice. Finally I noticed how much there is.
