password managers that allow to export OUR passkeys: Bitwarden, Enpass

it's all backwards, I agree, even worse that we trust "sync to the cloud" but don't allow users to own their credentials.

token counting is useful though. There's also other ways to reduce size, ie a plugin API.

the .self root itself should self-host itself

this kind of dismissive comments is why many apps have an awful usability. If someone thinks a web interface would be easier than a text terminal, there's at least one customer in need for a product (which either doesn't exist or they could not "googlify") - it's also why I welcome AI generating apps on the fly, "replacing" engineers who "know better" ;)

Why learn to do anything?

compilers, IDE, syntax highlighting too, everyone should learn assembly, ed, and stick to b&w

> there's at least one customer in need for a product

just because whales exist does not mean feeding them is a goal to aim for as a society. 99.9% of technology could disappear tomorrow and life would become better.

hyperbole: a lot of tech we give for granted today, started as niche products for "whales" like government agencies, so I suppose computers and Internet shouldn't exist and life would be better

> computers and Internet shouldn't exist and life would be better

I don't think that's remotely controversial

just wait for Microsoft to productize and commoditize employee tracking - see the CEO's recent "learning loops" idea - what could possibly go wrong?

To be honest, I’m not worried about work doing this to me. But when the government MANDATES this for all citizens, I’m ditching computers and going strictly pen and paper

Not using surveillable tooling will be a felony by then.
