Just more PTO won't help either, unless you consider sitting at home a holiday. I live in Europe and my last proper holiday was in the 00s.

Are screenshots even still considered evidence? They should be absolutely trivial to manipulate.

And so the enshittification continues. This time not for the consumers. Not yet.

It certainly feels dangerous if forced upon users not aware of the trade-offs. For people already accustomed to using hardware keys, it's very much an improvement, as more services will support them too. The problem is in the awareness. On the other hand, people already treat regular passwords as throwaway data and expect services to just let them in, or even never log them out. In this scenario, maybe passkeys can still be an improvement: roughly just as much as enforcing using a password manager.

I guess this is one area that AI can actually improve in our lives: https://www.summarize.tech/youtube.com/watch?v=jzQS9MmlEy8

With all due respect, that sounds very much like what something unsupported would do.

Federation combined with keeping the historical federated data consistent is certainly a bitch. We can't have it all. It could be like email that only handles delivery at any point in time and history is purely local, but Mastodon specifically keeps the federated data public. Propagating the change on the historical data to the federated instances would be nearly impossible. I don't see how it could have been done better without sacrificing something else.

I don't think they could do anything about it. As far as I know, Mastodon doesn't support any kind of instance renaming, so the hostname is one thing you cannot change. You can only spin up a completely new instance.

Not exactly a surprise. It was known it will happen ahead of time: https://archive.is/EaSjE
