Solving Your Password Problems
If for some reason you haven’t started using a password manager yet, it’s time to make the move. But how can you trust all these important secrets to some unknown company? How can you be sure that your password vault will be safe in a cloud-based service? And finally, how do you figure out which service is best for you?
Today I’ll ask Kasey Babcock from Bitwarden all those questions. We’ll also talk about two-factor authentication and newer “passkeys” technology, Argon2 vs PBKDF2, and even how you might self-host a solution like Bitwarden if you want to have full control.
Fixing Social Media
Social media wasn’t always so bad. It didn’t use to collect so much information. It didn’t use to feed us content we didn’t ask for in an attempt to maintain our attention.
Doom scrolling, virtue signaling, algorithmic feeds and misinformation bots are not natural extensions of social media. So what went wrong? And better yet, how can we fix it? Today I’ll discuss all of these topics and more with Suzie Dawson, the founder of Panquake.com.
She’s on a mission to solve all of these problems and restore the promise of social media to be a positive force for society and serve the users, not corporations or governments.
