  • they can be voted out again, democracy gives a peaceful mechanism to remove horrible leaders

    It is by the people

    make sure there are stops in place

    stop the majority from oppressing the minority

    These and other fun fairy tales to tell your child before bed

    That is the problem with referendums for me

    So only SOME democracy is good huh? Those uninformed proles will just vote at random if they have the ability to decide directly



  • The main concern is that attested passkey requirement will now be the easiest way to force specific software and hardware upon user. The GraphenOS example is a good one.

    Exactly, and it doesn’t take any effort to come up with software that will make it impossible for most people to even consider doing things a different way than big tech wants them to. Download the wrong app, use the wrong OS, attempt in any way to reclaim your privacy, and all of a sudden you can’t be authorized to open your own banking app because of some bullshit “security” message. What option does that leave you? Either become a hermit and reject all technology with whatever cost that has for you, especially in a decade or two as technology transitions to something completely mandatory for everyone, or fall in line and use everything the way they intend you to.
