It certainly sounds like you have a strong preference how to split preferences into two groups. ;)

Isn't every rule just a preference of someone influential enough to make it into a rule?

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.

It doesn't use the system libraries, unless the system in question is NixOS. It still provides its own dependencies. Arguably in a more elegant and less wasteful manner, but they are still distinct from the ones used by the rest of the system.

EDIT: typo

In terms of the memory usage, it's a reasonable approach these days. It gets hairy when we consider security vulnerabilities. It's far easier to patch one system-wide shared library than to hunt down every single application still bundling a vulnerable version.

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

It's a reference to her using her jet likely more often than I use my car.

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.
