@IzzyOnDroid Right so that is where ssh-agent comes in. Don't add the key in question to ssh-agent, and you won't use it for auth. It's not a hard "no," but you can still configure Git to use it for signing.
I would contend though that if you have any reason to "revoke" a key, it should not be conditional.
There's a new product that has been gaining some buzz in the blind community, a Windows app called Guide that uses AI to perform tasks on your computer. It's pitched as a way to get around web accessibility problems in particular. I won't link to the thing itself, because I don't want to give it that validation, but I'll link to a previous discussion thread about it: fed.interfree.ca/notes/a5wf4ys…
I've spent some time taking this app apart. The level of shoddy work here is deeply disgusting. 1/?
Final update: The developer is now on Mastodon via @andrew_guide.Update: The developer has removed the ability to download Guide until the security issues mentioned in the linked thread are fixed.
Update: this product contains some code flaws that are concerning from a security perspective, beyond just giving control of your computer to an LLM. You might want to read this thread before installing the product: toot.cafe/@matt/114258349401221651
Update: I've exchanged some long emails with Andrew, the lead developer. He's open to dialogue, and moving the project in the right direction: well-scoped single tasks, more granular controls and permissions, etc. He doesn't strike me as an #AI maximalist can and should do everything all the time kind of guy. He's also investigating deeper screen reader interaction, to let AI just do the things we can't do that it's best at. I stand by my thoughts that the project isn't yet ready for prime time. But as someone else in the thread said, I don't think it should be written off entirely as yet another "AI will save us from inaccessibility" hype train. There is, in fact, something here if it gets polished and scoped a bit more.
Just tried guide for fun. It's supposed to be an app to use #AI to help #blind folks get things done. I asked "Where are the best liver and onions in Ottawa?" It:
1. Decided it needed to search the web.
2. Thought that the "stardew access" icon on my desktop was a kind of web browser, so clicked it.
3. Imagined an "accept cookies" dialogue it needed to accept.
4. Decided that didn't work, so looked for Google Chrome (I don't have chrome installed on that machine)
5. Finally opened edge from the start menu. By the way, it just...left Stardew open and running. Because apparently having Stardew Valley running in the background is a vital part of finding liver and onions in Ottawa.
6. Opened a random extension from my edge toolbar (goodlinks).
7. Clicked the address bar and loaded google.com, instead of just doing the search right from the address bar.
8. Got blocked because it couldn't sign into my Google account, even though it could have also searched from the Google homepage.To be fair to AI, that was the kind of open-ended task AI is terrible at. If I had asked it to check an inaccessible checkbox, or read a screenshot, or something, I'm sure it would have been fine.
Anyway, I'm still better at using a computer than an AI. So is my 87 year old grandfather, for that matter. www.guideinteraction.com

Жевательный микропластик
Если вдруг в новостях начнут рассказывать, мол, ну вот и всё, горячая жевательная резинка медленно, но верно убивает неокрепший человеческий организм, запуская в него тонны микропластика, то вы над этим посмеётесь. Правда же? А я расскажу, как было на самом деле.
Во-первых, это не научная публикация, а сообщение на весенней конференции Американского химического общества (ACS).
Во-вторых, это пилотное исследование с одним (савсэм одним) участником. Ему давали жевательную резинку и засекали время до полной пластификации. К сожалению, пластификация не состоялась, но о чём-то на конференции сообщать было надо. Тогда намерили, что каждый грамм резинки выделяет 637 частиц микропластика. Много это или мало - авторы не уточнили, но за них коллеги по ASC объяснили, что каждый человек потребляет «десятки тысяч частиц диаметром от 1 мкм до 5 мм» каждый год. Ещё авторы посчитали, что 94% всех частиц высвобождаются в течение первых 8 минут жевания. И уточнили, что синтетические и растительные смолы выделяли одинаково количество микропластика (P>0,8, причём где-то здесь должен раздаться дружный закадровый ржач, напоминаю, что ну хотя бы 0,05, лучше меньше).
Но сами-то авторы какой вывод делают? Это мы можем узнать также из пресс-релизов и комментариев для новостей.
***🍬***Первое: «жувачку» на предмет микропластика ещё не изучали и его там нашли.
***🍬***Второе: «синтетика» в жевательной резинке или натуралка - без разницы, если именно на микропластик ориентироваться.
***🍬***Третье: «Наша цель — не встревожить кого-либо. Ученые не знают, опасен ли для нас микропластик или нет. Испытаний на людях не проводилось. Но мы знаем, что подвергаемся воздействию пластика в повседневной жизни, и именно это мы хотели здесь изучить».
***🍬***Четвёртое: «Пластик, попадающий в слюну, составляет лишь малую часть пластика, который находится в жвачке. Поэтому будьте внимательны к окружающей среде и не выбрасывайте жвачки на улицу или не приклеивайте их к стене. Если использованная жвачка не выбрасывается должным образом, она также становится еще одним источником загрязнения окружающей среды пластиком».
Правда, как именно выбрасывать жвачку, учёные не уточнили. Видимо, это будет темой следующих исследований. Хотя, предположу, что утилизировать её необходимо как пластик. Раз она из него состоит.
