I suspect that's deliberate to make someone that speaks English and doesn't know German still get the correct impression of what it actually sounds like, rather than get the spelling right

This is not at all relevant to the comment you're responding to. Your choice of password manager doesn't change that whatever system you're authenticating against still needs to have at least a hash of your password. That's what passkeys are improving on here

I'm German, and I've never heard that before. I'd be seriously weirded out by someone saying that or teaching it to their kids

I'm German, and I would not want that. German grammar works differently in a way that makes programming a lot more awkward for some reason. Things like, ".forEach" would technically need three different spellings depending on the grammatical gender of the type of element that's in the collection it's called on. Of course you could just go with neuter and say it refers to the "items" in the collection, but that's just one of lots of small pieces of awkwardness that get stacked on top of each other when you try to translate languages and APIs. I really appreciate how much more straightforward that works with English.

You need both ends of the cable connected, so the phone is out. And even on PC, I'm not sure if it would work with the USB drivers in-between the software and the actual ports

Could you link that review, please?

So you consider the side effects an acceptable risk?

Doctors that are specialized in that field should know that better than you or me, no?

But I'll humor you anyway. You know what also has side effects? Going through puberty. And those side effects are permanent. If your puberty changes you in ways that don't align with your gender identity, those side effects include higher risk of dying by suicide, as one example. So yeah, that seems like a risk that I, with my unqualified opinion, would be willing to take in order to make sure my child and their doctors have enough time to figure out who they are and what they need.

Reading the article, it seems like it will actually be opt-in for everyone

Fortran is Proto-Indo-Germanic or whatever it's called again
