    This is another way they’ll lock out Linux as an OS. It won’t pass passkey attestation or age check attestation so it just won’t be allowed to access the web because clearly you’re a bot or some other bad actor for failing those.

    That or they’ll create a special government backdoored and approved Linux that has attestation in among a bunch of other blackbox modules that you have to trust aren’t an NSAKEY right into your system.

    The future looks so bleak with all this online, Flock, Axon, etc cameras IRL controlling all movement and all fed into Palantir for one online and offline profile of you for the police state.

      There is a subtlety here that I feel like is being missed. Yes, via remote attestation, websites can require only passkeys from Google and Apple are usable. But you can still use those passkeys with Linux. It is a restriction on how you can authenticate and I can understand concerns over the lack of freedom in this area, but it is pretty far from a threat that would prevent the use of Linux.
