Libby Brown @trubludevil.social · 05/10/2026Makes me realize Hastert’s molestations would have gone unnoticed in our current era of “crime, what crime?” for Federal officials. A knock-on effect of the failure of our current GOP-led government across all branches, to uphold laws and norms. 010

Libby Brown @trubludevil.social · 29/09/2026This is great if everyone practices perfect account hygiene. That’s not happening, now or ever, unfortunately. Nor, I would argue - should it be. Not everyone wants to be an expert in this space, many would be quite happy to have a trusted service help them protect their accounts. 110
Libby Brown @trubludevil.social · 29/09/2026Ahh, yes, I guess I do shorthand sync as equivalent to backup, as even if I lose a phone, I use sync to restore to the new device. But in a strict usage of the terms, I see your point that they are not the same. That said, I’m not sure how many people actually care about the difference? 🤷♀️ 000
Libby Brown @trubludevil.social · 29/09/2026A synced passkey has the benefit of being backed up to devices in your trusted circle of devices. That limited number of devices is also a security measure. Why force a user through a less secure/more onerous account recovery flow account by account instead? 110

This resolves the security risks of legacy plaintext CSV exports and the inability to migrate passkeys across providers through secure, OS-level peer-to-peer data transfer. 1125
Libby Brown @trubludevil.social · 15/09/2026I had to wait 3 months for a new patient screening; heading in next month to have a stage 0 melanoma removed, and a basal cell mass removed via Mohs surgery in November. So, yeah… glad I made that appt back in June…. 😭🙄😬 010

Libby Brown @trubludevil.social · 11/09/2026My dad survived the Pentagon attack on 9/11. Before he died in Dec 2020, he wrote his military career biography - seriously, it’s a whole edited, bound production, this man loved his career in military public health. The following is his brief remembrance of the day. 1193
