Harris did indeed have overwhelming support and the polls even showed her ahead for a decent while. Sometime after the debate, she started courting the Cheney faction and simultaneously diluted her messaging. Coincidentally, this is also soon after she brought some Clinton strategists in. She lost the enthusiasm she had built up in the summer.

I dont exactly excuse people who stayed home (or protest voted), but I do understand that Harris didn't do herself any favors with that type voter either. I felt the enthusiasm wane, and I've never missed a federal or state election.

Yes, but this issue is not one we should want Google solving. We need better media literacy education throughout life.

Twilight works pretty well

He was in the first Saw, too I think. He's got some range, but he is best as the dashing ne'er-do-well. Loved his recurring character on Psych

When I was trying out passkeys, things allowed either passkey or password still. But yes, I think this need partially reduces the security benefit of passkeys.

It's a combination of issues. First is compatibility issues. Like logging in on mobile web or app with a passkey doesn't reliably work for me. It might have been due to the password manager, but for some things the option wasn't even there afaict. If I'm going to really switch to passkeys, I want it to work more reliably.

The second is usability. Passwords in a password manager are a 2 click entry on the username or password form field. Password managers have streamlined this system over the past decade.

Passkeys, ironically, required more steps when pulling from the password manager, including required clicks in less convenient places. I hope these types of issues get ironed out eventually.

I use a password manager with passkey support and still disabled all my passkeys. The user experience for passkeys is so much worse even when support exists.

Your comment strikes me as particularly harmful and misguided because autistic people are often specifically targeted for abuse and even seen as deserving of abuse.

I am sort of grateful, because you've unintentionally really made it starkly clear to me. We should not platform unrepentant enablers of abuse regardless of their prior contributions, it simply causes too much harm.

Honest suggestion: take a civics class to brush up on stuff like this. Theory is great but if you don't understand the system of government under which you live, you have no hope of changing it.
