blocking people isn’t an act of stupidity. it’s an act of boundary setting because perhaps they don’t like the way you talk to them. the reply that probably got you blocked was quite abrasive

respectfully u seem like the type to get blocked a lot, even when not explicitly asking for it

don't talk to me until i've had my midnight soda

You've told your last person that they've read their last free article.

i'm remembering how google leveraged their control of search results to drive adoption of ssl - and that's a unique situation but i think an example of how companies are more hip to the risk of users being scammed than some let on. guess we'll see in a year vs 5 years bc of ai lol

i think we agree and may just be quibbling with what to call it. companies avoid talking to the community because they see it as risky and i do think that's an industry flaw

"'storytelling'" that's vulnerable and meets the users where they're at is a tool for establishing trust where there seems to be none

my friend works there and i've shared my feedback with them already lol

one thing that i hear, and has been mentioned today, is the lack of context around what a passkey is when it's prompted to create one by a service (sounds like amazon is an offender here)

would love to hear recommendations on how to better educate consumers about passkeys. let's hear it!

if you're working on passkeys, please accept the *free* user sentiment in my mentions/quotes as a salve vs. hate for hearing challenging feedback from me. anyway we should quickly learn to enjoy hearing from an actual human for free while it lasts, and resist the urge to bristle at the truth.

i am not trying to start beef with tech companies with my post, i am trying to hand them all a very much solvable challenge that will greatly benefit everyone, and warn them that they are - if they are putting time, effort and money into it already - presently missing the mark. also i'm jenn

WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE REAL NEWS STORIES!!!

r/camping 5y ago [deleted] When are bears most active? So googling "bear calendar" gave me amazing calendars full of grizzly hairy men. I'm buying those too but I didn't have my question answered.

btw i would have gotten into cybersecurity as a career if it wasn’t so hostile towards women at the time i first expressed interest and i would have been really good at it. i mean, look at all the engineers in my mentions today thanking me for explaining this bc no one else in their circles have

time for my every-5-year reread of allan johnson’s the forest and the trees

“‘security’ predates computers” was how my cybersecurity professor 20 years ago opened our class to get us to understand how important humans are to the success of such a broad concept. he then assigned us like 2 hours of handwritten caesar cypher decrypting exercises 😩

love their explanation thread here. security is a balance of technology, average consumer convenience, and education. physical keys rule, but are inconvenient for most people - think of those who fall for email phishing scams. passkeys could be that balance, but vendors forgot the education part

Passkeys might really kill passwords On this episode of The Vergecast, we figure out passkeys once and for all.

www.theverge.com/24071753/pas...

we need to get the internet at a point soon where users are demanding that apps implement passkey support with the same energy you all have begging for dark mode lol

i didn’t work on passkeys, but through my work managing millions of people running arbitrary code on the web i became an expert at simple webpage login-based phishing scams - when it was rolling out my excitement for it turned to despair at how poor/missing the storytelling for it was

you can read more about how they work here www.passkeycentral.org/introduction...

having people enter a password to log in is a dying authorization flow - it’s too easy to crack databases, and phishing is rampant and especially easier/cheaper with ai assisted coding and communication. passkey ties it to your device, much like biometric login is tied to your eye or fingerprint

imagine me at a security company years ago full of v smart, good people whose one major weakness is the inability to talk to a normal person about how technology works without them cutting a check first, explaining passkeys to a googler who never heard the word until tiktok prompted them to make one

passkey is imho one of the most important security developments that touch consumers and also one of the worst consumer rollouts i ever witnessed because every company involved treats everything like an enterprise customer solution
