Finland has only dropped their sterilization requirement for gender recognition a couple years ago, in 2023 (!)

Buenos Aires is the real gay capital of the world thank you very much :P

Huh. I've played around with D a few years ago.. don't exactly remember his opinions coming to light, but I can't say I'm surprised either.

So many things already mentioned, I guess the most original thing I can say would be Nushell :)

Gleam also maybe?

WebAssembly.

Google's extension of RCS does do e2ee, which raises the question of "what happens to security when you talk to a non-Google user"..

I couldn't really get into Witcher 3. It was more the combat than the story but the story didn't interest me much either..

for me, Horizon Zero Dawn was the real "wow, open-world storytelling can be that good and not classic Bethesda nonsense" moment

It does not. The fingerprint always only unlocks the device's HSM ("secure enclave" in Apple speak).

Between your devices enrolled in the ecosystem, private keys are synced securely (AFAIK, they make it so that an existing device’s HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one’s HSM); for signing up using your device on someone else's computer there's a process that combines QR codes with Bluetooth communication.

Note that you pretty much can't store them with Google or Apple; smartphone biometric sensors operate the on-device HSM, not something remote.

IIUC Apple syncs them using the most secure way they can, i.e. when you enroll a new device to your account the existing device, the existing device's HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one's HSM; and for recovery from being left with 0 Apple devices there might be (?) an escrow option that's optional (?)
