i try to code, sometimes i even write 🤦‍♂️ just a lot of tech stuff
Seeing how useful it can be for software dev is great.

Seeing how mismanaged AI usage is causing even more misinformation, layoffs, and consumer prices for stuff like GPU/RAM to increase is painful.

I think when AI usage becomes more targeted and less of a hinderance, the two will converge again.

I feel like having at least offering AI generated alt-text would be a more accessible choice but idk 🤷‍♂️

see: the linux kernel in the list. you can’t replace that. this will just further split the open source community.

i get the principle, i really do. ai training does sacrifice a lot, the environment, compute, with the latest being RAM modules.

but it’s almost inevitable atp. i say this as someone whose career is very much affected by ai. its inevitable that some code in every project will be created by ai.

That makes more sense, my bad.

But you are right, it is only year 3 of passkeys. It would be ridiculous to expect the system to be perfect this quickly.

It’s just that if it wasn’t for my foresight of wanting them in my cross-platform password manager, I’d be dealing with a lot more issues.

Even Apple who is notorious for their ecosystem, only brought syncing of passkeys between Apple devices with iOS 26. Being able to simply import and export them between various OS’ main password managers are a key consideration.

Passkeys are great, when I first learned about the idea, I really wanted them everywhere. Replacing easily phishable, weak passwords with a cryptographically and Face ID/fingerprint backed solution sounded like the future.

My concern is largely the portability of passkeys, which is being worked on.

After doing some research, Bitwarden has an article on saving passkeys, even on Android. Perhaps I’ve just never seen the toggle because I used alternative browsers like Vivaldi and Brave.

I guess my gripe is more with Android’s handling of passkeys. I could never save them to my password manager, since Chrome’s password manager would try to intervene (I didn’t even use Chrome, just Chromium based).

The only way I could save them were if I used my Windows laptop.

That’s reassuring to know. For the longest time I’ve been saying my passkeys to Bitwarden since I had a feeling I wouldn’t be able to transfer them over if I ever switched OS.

That ended up being true, since as of Nov 2025, there was no way to transfer passkeys from my Samsung (Android 16) to iOS.

Now that I write this, it feels like passkeys are yet another device lock in tool. There isn’t a way to transfer passkeys stored natively on any of the big OS, not that I’m aware of at least, so you’re stuck to that device ecosystem.

Unless you use a password manager. @bitwarden.bsky.social 👀
