From the user's perspective, I still think passwords are the most secure auth The problem is who is storing it We need a password manager with passkeys that need a 2nd password to be accessed lol

@levelsioNov 2
This is correct Passkeys should be used as passwords, since they're stored in a password manager They're "supposed" to use biometrics, but realistically they don't, you just unlock your password manager and your passkey is stored there So passkeys are not 2FA, they're single factor authentication Prove me wrong

As a Brazilian, investing elsewhere isn't easy. Or is it? I always thought that was challenging and not worth it if you're not very rich

Product Hunt should follow the Least Privilege principle Only ask post permission if you actually use them to do so

Product Hunt permissions to Login with X went absolutely mental Safer to not even use it anymore then?

The only programmers who are really in trouble with the competition from artificial intelligence are the ones who insist the world today isn't all that different from the one we lived in last year. Embrace the paradigm shift or perish. (This has always been true.)

Without AI in 2022, indie hackers had more of a great time They had to put in more effort, think, learn and build Now they can pay for AI with $20 from someone else's pocket and "build"

I hope it's similar in Brazil Because my go-to dinner in an unknown city is a stack of 5 McDonald's buguer patties and cheese

Read it and WEEP: McDonald's Quarter Pounder burger patties in the US are made from 100% USDA-inspected beef with no fillers, additives, or preservatives and they are grilled on a flat-top griddle with no added oil, butter, or fat

My 13 yo son is getting interested in lifting weights, so we've started going together 2-3 mornings each week. These are not very efficient workouts for me, but it's time very well spent.
