@cabel Eeyupp...
I hate #Bots doing #TechSupport even before #MansplainingAsAService in the form of #ChatGPT was even envisioned.
Because when I have a problem, I just want to cut the bullshit and get some #TechLiterate on the phone which does care and doesn't belittle me by saying "Have you tried to turn it off and back on again?"...
@ljrk @lexd0g And yes, I know that #passwords are bad but besides #SSH & #PGP #Pubkeys there is no good way to authenticate that isn't like a #TOTP / #HOTP - like #2FA or some confirmation message...
#Passkey don't make people more #TechLiterate and actually learn how to use a #PasswordManager|s or exercise #SelfCustody of Keys...
Nor do they save the problem that platforms / logins don't do basic behaviour-based protection against just spamming credentials or irregular patterns.
@ljrk @lexd0g It's worse because #Passkey brick a lot of workflows and systems as an addon-layer instead of fixing the core problem.
And the core problem is that #ITsec, #OpSec, #ComSec and #InfoSec are just "Afterthoughts" at best for all but the most #TechLiterate.
Using i.e. #PGP encryption and login on everything [and not as a "password replacement"] would be a way better fix.
Just like @torproject does a self-signing namespace on #OnionServices.
Again, not perfect but better than #SSL!
@ilumium @edri doesn't mean @EU_Commission isn't breaking the laws nor that it's anti-democratic and evil.
#NotLegalAdvice OFC.
Also can we please stop that #cyberfacist #figleaf|ing?
@MOGiS already wiped the floor with #Zensursula almost two decades ago, and she still owes everyone who can change #DNS settings an apology for claiming everyone more #TechLiterate than her is a "hardened pedo-criminal"...
I want my #HumanRights and #CivilRights back - all of them since 1949 - WITH INTEREST!
@case2tv I chose #Enpass since it literally runs on everything* - espechally #Android and #Linux and doesn'r equire some subscription or charges people for the "privilegue" of self-hosting, like #BitWarden.
It's also #TechIlliterate-friendly.
*Okay it doesn't run on #BSDs and #Unix except macOS & iOS, but then again:
People who daily drive #OpenBSD, #FreeBSD or #NetBSD are usually #TechLiterate enough to basically setup their own #password storage system from scratch & sync and backup stuff.
@kobayashi90 I mean, we gotta have to inform the #TechIlliterates that may stumble upon this thread and they too need to be informed on ~why~ claims made by @protonmail, @signalapp and other #centralized #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solutions are inherently wrong!
We can't complain about people being #'TechIlliterate without doing our part in reducing #TechIlliteracy and making people more #TechLiterate...
@damngoodtech In the end it's a consumer's choice.
People need to be #TechLiterate enough to value #repairability (and #upgradeability) over making tue thinnest devices possible.
Now granted, both @frameworkcomputer amd @Fairphone did manage to design #thinn yet repairable devices, proving that all the #AntiRepair-Arguments are corporate propaganda lies!
Personally I'd accept even #thicc'er devices if that means they'd use more #COTS and less #custom parts...
@evacide #Stalkerware & #Govware producers are ALWAYS legitimate targets.
They are unethical per concept and have no legitimate reasons to exist!
Also I do assume they are shitty because they all assume everyone else is "less #TechLiterate" than them...
@fosserytech Worse in this case is that it's not politicans but #DGSI field agents...
You know, #french #interior #intelligence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Directorate_for_Internal_Security
If these guys get spooked by people being more #TechLiterate then themselves, maybe said agency is more risk than benefit for the #NatSec of #France...
And yes the core problem is that people are not #TechLiterate and that they get groomed into stupid consoomers and only educated far enough to maximize the profit as exploitable wageworkers!
