When I say optional, I mean optional. There's an API browsers can call that will make macOS prompt the user to give this access. And if the access is granted, browsers use it to help users sign in. Yes, it means that a browser learns where you have passkeys saved. (Websites don't learn this.)

I've decided that we're all good now. I trust this settles things.

Three of four weddings this summer: done. It was too hot to wear a cute bow, so I went sans tie and chest out.

One of the things that I find most fraught about my gender identity is dressing formally, like at a wedding. I loathe men's formalwear, but I'm not comfortable dressing femme on someone else's big day. So recently I tried a shirt and suit jacket with a silly little bow. I'm going to iterate on this!

I was recently asked if the strong passwords that Apple Passwords generates contain ”gibberish two-syllable ‘words’”. I explain the answer to this question in a new post on my blog: rmondello.com/2024/10/07/a...
