Google definitely supports passkeys, and they were one of the sites that did this. I've just replied to another comment regarding this. I wonder if the Yubikey 4 (I'm not sure how to tell which one I have, since they look about the same) just doesn't support passkeys, which would be... unfortunate.

It'll be even more unfortunate if there's a weird mix of sites that support the Yubikey as a passkey and some only support it as a passkey. My Pixel is supported as a passkey, but Firefox on Linux doesn't support this - only on Windows and macOS. I believe Chrome/Chromium does, which is equally as frustrating as my Yubikey possibly not supporting passkeys.

Strangely enough, Google lets me "add" my Yubikey as a passkey, but then does not let me sign in with it due to it not being "recognized". If I remove it as a passkey, and only use it as a 2FA token, attempt to sign in and use the "Enter your password" option, it will then let me use the key after I've entered my password as a second factor.

So it seems Google has removed the error (or its not triggering anymore) as they will have been one of the first sites I tried to create a passkey for, but it still does not let you use it as a passkey.

Not that I'd be remotely interested in the skin (nor do I play OW2), but really Blizzard? You'd think that with all of the PR issues they've been facing lately with both games, that they wouldn't pull something like this so quickly.

I quite enjoyed it! It's very similar to something like Lower Decks or The Orville. Not quite the same, but similar.

Season 2, the last season, ends on quite a bit of a cliffhanger though unfortunately.

I'm not sure if this is universal or specific to the last site I tried to use my Yubikey with as a passkey, but it only would allow it to be used as 2FA, not actual passwordless authentication.

I assume this is because Yubikeys don't create a secret for each individual website I suppose? Not exactly sure about that one.

Wait, Avenue 5 was cancelled? Damn it!

October 17th if I remember right.

They also support gimmicks like “reacting” to messages which get overlaid in-line with a heart icon. On SMS it is sent as “MooseBoys loved ‘be right there’”.

Technically, yes SMS doesn't support reactions. But you can do what Google does and just parse that text and "turn" it into a reaction for viewing purposes.

If an iPhone user sends me a reaction it looks fine to me, but funnily enough now when I send one back it looks the exact way Apple sends it to non Apple devices.

Oh. My. God.

Definitely one of the changes I'll be most appreciative of, that was incredibly annoying.

The task bar, for example, will often stop being useable and freeze up. I have had the digital clock widget freeze up on me, which requires a relog to fix.

Thankfully this has been tracked down, and will be fixed for Plasma 6. If you run into it, you can hit Alt+F2 and run kwin_wayland --replace which will restart the shell.

If you go into edit mode, and edit the task bar widget that shows your running applications, disable the option that shows window previews upon hovering over the application. Apparently that is the thing that causes the renderer to fail on non Intel GPU systems. Here's the bug report that goes over the whole history if you're interested.

Definitely feel you on the overall Nvidia Wayland KDE issues. I really wish I was in a position to be able to pickup an AMD GPU.

Same here. The overflow menu also causes a crash:

PopOS and Mint do the best job I have seen of being reasonably inviting to non-technically literate users. Ubuntu is pretty bad but not nearly quite like Arch.

While I'm not going to say that Arch doesn't want those users, Arch is not really designed for those people. Arch is designed for those who want to build their OS from the ground up and pick the pieces they want. For people who fit this, they (traditionally) would not want a flashy website - they just want the information. You'll find that most people whether they use Arch or not, if they're familiar with what it is they would not recommend it to new users.

Due to the rolling release nature of Arch, the homepage is designed to be essentially a changelog for what you need to be aware of when updating your system. Or in other words, the "bread and the butter" is supposed to be the latest news portion right below the introduction. Such as the latest news post as of this time of writing.
