I just provided a more direct link but yeah it is just proposed at this point. The age assurance part appears to be substantially similar (very similar verbiage) to the bills that have already passed in California and Colorado though so I guess we'll see it again in a few weeks or months at this point.

There's already models specifically for things like identifying players in Counter-Strike 2, including which team they're on.

Someone has even rigged up a system like that to a TENS system to stimulate the nerves in their arm and hand to move the mouse in the correct direction and fire when the crosshair is over the enemy.

We are definitely already there.

There are some things regular distros can't/shouldn't do, like including codecs still under patents, matching proprietary Nvidia drivers with the correct kernel version, proprietary firmware for game controller adapters, the launching of Steam Big Picture mode as the default UI, etc.

Popped in that context means hacked. Like in the same usage of pop in "popping a shell".

I do not think he meant it as any kind of physical/death threat.

The domain that the verifier (the site trying to authenticate you) is at is part of the cryptographic process. If the domain doesn't match (ie you're at a phishing site) then the results of the cryptography won't be valid for the actual correct site, only the phishing site (which gets the phishing site nothing it can use).

It's been supported by qBittorrent since 4.4.0 released in January 2022 when built with libtorrent 2.0. The official docker images still use libtorrent 1.2 though as that is the default.

Probably not a dealbreaker for most but it might be hindering Bittorrent v2 adoption.

Lack of a tagged stable/release version with libtorrent 2.0 for one.

> And what happens when I need to login to a device I don’t own, or don’t have/want my personal password manager on?

For that there's CTAP2/WebAuthn: https://fidoalliance.org/fido2-2/fido2-web-authentication-we...

"The other component of FIDO2, Client to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP), is complementary to WebAuthn. It enables an external authenticator, such as a security key or a mobile phone, to work with browsers that support WebAuthn, and also to serve as an authenticator to desktop applications and web services."

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-a...

"CTAP2 and WebAuthn define an abstraction layer that creates an ecosystem for strongly authenticated credentials. Any interoperable client (such as a native app or browser) running on a given “client device” can use a standardized method to interact with any interoperable authenticator – which could mean a platform authenticator that is built into the client device or a roaming authenticator that is connected to the client device through USB, BLE, or NFC."

And for the multiple person needing access to an account thing, password managers that store the passkeys allow sharing: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/share-passkeys-passwo...

Or alternatively, you just add a passkey for each of you in your own password manager to the accounts that you both need access to.

In order to get the information such as the name of the torrent and its files from the hash you do need to connect to someone in the swarm to download that metadata. You won't know what it is until after you've already connected.
