Unlimited tokens cannot overcome a deep intellectual commitment to laziness, racism, and ignorance.
Mass immigration has been a catastrophe for Europe. There is no issue more urgent before the continent than to correct this mistake.

Quite a few people have sent me the "Passkeys are a trap. Do not use them." post on Substack. The post recommends people abandon passkeys and stick to passwords + TOTP, citing what appears to be concerns with attestation as the primary reason. I’ve written a rebuttal as this is really dangerous advice and it's based on some incorrect technical claims. scotthelme.co.uk/passkeys-ar…
