If someone runs an auth server, and I use it to identify me, and then it goes away, then I’m out of luck, my account is gone. This is the same problem we have now (with logins being tied to instances), except that it introduces a new place for a failure to occur. Rather than just relying on a lemmy instance, I also need to rely on an auth server to be maintained, safe, and secure.
If I went to another auth server, then it’d give me a different identity and that would not make much sense.
We can, passkeys are being adopted all over the web. If you specifically mean for Lemmy or fediverse services, it’s probably just a matter of adding support. It isn’t hard, per se, but it is important to get it right.
You can store passkeys in a password manager like BitWarden and they become portable. Then it doesn’t matter if you have a centralized authentication server. You just get logged in with your passkey, supplied by your password manager.
Congrats you just invented passkeys
So we should make a remote single point of failure, maintained by someone who probably isn’t a security expert or working on it full time?
No, this is unfortunately the opposite of what we should be doing.
EDIT: I should also add that people who make password managers literally focus on only that. They understand what they are making is a huge target and any of them worth their salt have independent audits and spend much of their time on design decisions related to security. Point being: typically the weakest link in a password manager is you. Set a good password, use a YubiKey or some other device, use 2FA, etc.
Nah mate, I don’t think I want to trust some rando identity server with my login, and self hosting just makes them easy targets.
Not according to them
With on-device processing, they don’t need to send audio. They can just send the text, which is infinitely smaller and easier to encrypt as “telemetry”. They’ve probably got logs of conversations in every Alexa household.
They do not know wright from wrong, they only know probability of the next word.
LLMs are a brute forcing of the immigration of intelligence. They do not think, they are not intelligent.
But I mean people today believe that 5G vaccines made the frogs gay.

It’s a joke, mate
