Who forced you? Your employer?

> What would I gain from using a passkey?

The correct question is What did others gain?

- Phishing free press fingerprint or faceID or Windows Hello for login into many important sites

- many people don't have time to type password, then otp. If most of the world did that then this would not be needed.

- And finally, YOU are not OBLIGED to use it. Let the rest of population use it.

- It is like SOME pay with phone/NFC-Watch etc. MANY still use card or cash...

> Passkeys can be, and have been, stolen and hijacked.

Proof needed.

> How many phishing emails h

The point is the average Joe will not be phished - especially important stuff - like email or eBay or bank. That is the reason for passkey.

Yes, many people in HN can avoid scammers.

The real issue is one fine day all web devs will gangup and say

- This site works only with Chrome or Edge.

I sincerely hope worldwide software devs grow up some ethics and resist doing such things.

Let them do it once. Please. Even if there a hint of threating to shutdown -that would make EU leaders act. Otherwise they dont act or react.

Pretty sure they will order 3rd party stores to open up. Sure, iPhone users are f'ked but at least Android will prove itself.

> Indians will go to Germany and learn German; go to Japan and learn Japanese; but will resist building anything of value with the culture/language of their own states of residence. The A

I wish they do. If you read Facebook group Indians in Frankfurt - you will the entitled Indians - especially those coming for IT jobs - in deputation for Infosys etc (that speak in many ways not the best english) trying to talk in English with all bureacrats or even 85 year old - and expect - every damn plumbber or cleaner to speak English - as if they have scored 99.% in TOEFL or so.

They constantly say: See in India everyone speaks English. why can't you all speak English? When I point out if your go to Coimbatore and speak English in Tahsildar office or RTO - you will get f*ked.

I know the feeling because - I am from South - grew up in North. average person has so much hatred. Until you fix that you cant do anything.

> but will resist building anything of value with the culture/language of their own states of residence. Th

You have some horrible feeling for UK. Forget that. Go and tell Narayanamoothy or Modi to give jobs in software (and every other whitecollar) exclusively to people that have linguistic ability.

Blaming others is the escapism that you Indians are happy for.

that is a different issue. Even with the free bus services it will benefit many.

If you are asking if the politicians are bad then it is yes.

I wrote to serve poor. In a way, women are financially marginalised in most of humanity. So nothing wrong about that.

> Doubt in Germany a user can submit documents in French and can get have special protection by Germany for promoting French language.

I did submit a non-German language document to get my German citizenship.

At the end, whatever you say - India is f*ked up by regional politics. With English a poor person from region A can go to B and find some job/livelihood.

Are you against it? I understand you want homogeneity - it is not there.

But people like you creating divisions by telling

>>>> It shall be the duty of the Union to promote the spread of the Hindi language, to

will promote more chaos. Good for rest of the rich world especially west and China.

Like my physics teacher used to say in Chennai... We don't need foreigners to mess us - We Indians do it for us.

All you want is India to fight like Arab states - internally. Divide and conquer. Thank you from the West and China.

> colonial-era English-imposition

Making it 45 languages etc will not solve issues. The point is not master or slave. Stop that victim mindset.

If people follow law and order all will be fine. Telling reputation etc is all good. Foreign people study and celebrate Indic languages better. Foreign institutes spend more grants in that.

> there's not a single technical-university of any great reputation in either of these (it's wor

It was tried in S.India - Anna University. Very few people joined to do B E in Computer Science Engg.

The real question is every ruler wants to keep population stupid.

You still celebrate people like NarayanaMoorthy or L& T chairman. biju or ola CEOs lying in public.

At the end, there is endemic corruption. Blaming UK or West will not solve anything.

This happened post COVID - to help poor. A few states did that - saw electoral gains. It is not nationwide.

There is also a misconception. It is not in all public transport. In TN state, it is on select buses - slower buses only.

A large number of politicians are farmers. So...

> mandated to be written in this foreign language that'

I am sure people from the Northern belt would be happy if the laws were written in Tamil (my mother tongue).
