CVS supports passkeys and you can create one after you log in. but they don’t let you actually sign in with passkeys. so each time you have to do email, password, then two step with SMS. and then it asks you if you wanna use a passkey. which is a really cool UX.

there once was a douche from Nantucket, who parked his new truck and said “fuck it.” he tried off-roading on sand, it got out of hand, now his cybertruck’s stuck and can’t budge it.

the Nantucket Current has been chronicling the first cybertruck on the island and is making fun of them parking like a dick. this is the reason a free press is crucial to democracy.

New change landing in Mastodon for Android soon! In user testing, people have expressed confusion over “why are all the handles so long?”
We're presenting handles on profile pages in a new style, with the username and server separated. Tapping the server will show you more details, along with a neat easter egg animation when you tap the rows.

@npub1lj7…zczx they do that for all device previews more than a few months out from launch! there was something similar on the website in the gap between January and June for the first iPhone
