Perhaps Kent could maybe follow the contributing guidelines instead of being an obstinate child???

Espanso can do way more than just that, but it has a clipboard backend that you can use.

FYI for anyone that hasn’t answered the survey yet: you can leave this question blank.

I’m happy to get the refund from Valve when scumfuck companies decide to rug-pull like this. If it happens, it’s usually long after I’ve beaten the story and become bored with the game. It’s a win for me 🙂

Lobby your government to nationalize it. Anything that important can’t be left to private industry.

There are suitable alternatives listed in other comments, but it is worth noting that none of them will support the proprietary YubiKey authentication protocol.

This isn’t a big deal if all of the applications you want to use it with support FIDO2/WebAuthn authentication, but YubiKeys support both.

I agree with your sentiment. Just one small thing: .c files are usually C source code, and are meant to be compiled into binaries.

It doesn’t change OP’s situation at all though.

Okay, so it’s just like Yubikey-type stuff? I’ve thought about that before but it seems very risky - they recommend you get two and set both of them up so you have a backup, but that would require all websites to support that, right?

Pretty much. I suppose that’s a very real disadvantage to using physical passkeys. If you lose it, unless you have multiple passkeys configured, or have access to an account recovery method, you lose that account.

But, like you mentioned, using Bitwarden would sidestep that issue, and they do support passkey emulation.

I’m not an expert, so this is an oversimplification, but:

Passkeys are essentially like authenticating the same way you do via SSH, but with websites. The site will use a public key for your account. Your passkey holds the private key. That’s it, as I understand it.

The advantages are that your accounts secured by passkeys will be inherently more difficult to crack than even the most complex, random passwords and it can’t be phished (if you’re using a physical passkey).

The disadvantage is that the standard is still being worked on, and bad actors (MS, Apple, Google, etc.) are eager and willing to sucker people in to using their vendor lock-in software implementations of them. If you want to avoid this, either use real, physical FIDO-capable hardware authentication keys, or use a FOSS password manager that is capable of emulating them.

This isn’t inherent to passkeys or the standard that they use. This has to do with the configuration of the service being attacked and the fact that once you’ve achieved MiTM, the sky is the limit for what you can do.

Passkeys use the same underlying protocol as hardware authentication keys (FIDO, not the YubiKey auth protocol) and should be roughly as secure and vulnerable as that type of MFA method.

It’s almost everything. You can play most games on Linux. You can’t bolt-on the quality of life features that Valve has on Windows.

There’s a reason most Steam Deck users don’t install Windows on it, even though you can.

This is the correct answer.

Yep. Fuck Nintendo. I don’t care how good their games might be, they’re not getting another dime from me for as long as they’re hostile to their community and customers.

RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

It’ll be Ubislop, or your money back!

Lol. It’s a close second, but at least Apple isn’t blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.

Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.
