Mintz🍹🦌@SwiftOnSecurity Or even a cellphone or computer with internet. You can't even apply for jobs at fast food restaurants with paper applications anymore.
Steven ⬢Also smart phones.
Many restaurants don’t have a physical menu anymore, just a QR code.
ro@styfle @SwiftOnSecurity they often do have a physical menu hidden somewhere, you just have to ask, or be visibly confused by the qr code
Francis 🏴☠️ Gulotta@reconbot @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity never needed a phone at the doctor. but also, how's that related...
@ro @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity my hospital affiliatied doctors all want forms, information, checkins, and whatnot done online or via their apps. I’ve had nurses and desk staff chide me for not having 2fa setup or data sharing agreements between offices. All via the phone.
@reconbot @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity weird. i'm more used to "our accounting software hung up, so we'll print the receipt after the next appointment". my dentist wouldn't even take card. the most hi tech it ever got was the time i had to get a ct scan elsewhere and bring them the cd.
@ro @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity I get a text, an email, and a phone call all asking me if I’m coming to my next appointment.
@reconbot i get a phone call if the reception person remembers
Sherri Davidoff@ro @reconbot @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity Wow, my $%!# doctors won’t even offer MFA (I’m guessing it costs them extra). They’re just like whelp, we can’t see the hackers steal your data so it’s not happening.
DLindsey@sherridavidoff @ro @reconbot @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity Something like the SSO tax might be in play, I guess. Important security features should be standard or a small extra. https://sso.tax/
@SwiftOnSecurity @ro @styfle @DLindsey @reconbot Totally. Imagine if landlords made tenants pay extra for smoke detectors and fire alarms. There’s a reason regulations exist - perhaps we need to apply the same concepts to cloud safety.
@sherridavidoff @SwiftOnSecurity @ro @styfle @DLindsey I will also say most of my essential online services have completely inaccessible 2FA if you are slow, or have a hard time typing. I welcome regulation and accessibility in this area. (And innovation!)
@SwiftOnSecurity @DLindsey @reconbot @ro @styfle The FIDO Alliance’s work should help with strong and ACCESSIBLE auth in the coming years… https://fidoalliance.org/overview/
Thiago Figueiró@ro @reconbot @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity I thought this was going to be about having to read old magazines in the doctor’s waiting room.
HTTP 1.1/418 Teapot@reconbot @ro @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity I’m the speaker-to-technology for a relative who’s just shy of 80. She has needed my help to get her social security payments set up, to interact with some of her medical folks since she can’t get to myhealth, and to schedule COVID vaccinations. Regular phone conversations can’t take the place of telepresence online medical video calls, so she can’t do that when necessary which cuts her off for more medical things.
Philip Mallegol-Hansen@reconbot @ro @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity Genuine question: How so? I see the QR codes in restaurants, but I’ve never used my phone for anything besides browsing the web in the waiting room, when visiting my doctor. What am I missing?
@philip @ro @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity charts, forms, payments, appointments, etc
It’s awesome tbh but leaves a lot of people behind
@reconbot @ro @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity My office uses MyChart too, but only for scheduling, it’s available online without a phone, and you can still call to make an appointment as well. So it doesn’t feel like a “blocker” to folks without smartphones yet.
But I agree we’re moving in that direction in general.

Jeremy Shaver@reconbot @ro @styfle @SwiftOnSecurity My 90 year old neighbor was suffering from some [problematic but non-emergent] neurological problem - but she couldn't go to nearby urgent care because the only way to make an appointment was on line - which she wasn't.
DrJekyll@styfle @SwiftOnSecurity given that QR codes have been used to send people to impersonation sites, I'd just say NO to using them. Period.
:)
robrykThey often don't display them, but have them on request. I think that in some areas that's a requirement (because the menu tells you about possible allergens in dishes).
Alex Allain@SwiftOnSecurity or clothes for that matter
The Doctor@SwiftOnSecurity Or a smartphone or a basic computer.

Andrew Antes@SwiftOnSecurity modern software engineers are cybernetically enhanced to do their jobs, augmented by StackOverflow and external packages.
Linebyline→mastoart.social@SwiftOnSecurity Counterpoint: Imagine having to be permanently surgically attached to your car (and smartphone). Or requiring major surgery every time you're forced to upgrade your tech, in addition to all the existing upgrade headaches.
A. Lizard@linebyline @SwiftOnSecurity imagine rotting abandonware implanted in heads. Already happened. Vision implants, startups out of business or acquired by company that acquired users and kicked them to the curb.
@alizardx @SwiftOnSecurity Imagine the "heated seats are for subscribers only" model applied to your pacemaker.

@SwiftOnSecurity @mike I live in Spokane city limits. I could try walking across the street from my neighborhood to get to the side of the arterial that has a side walk and to then walk the twenty minutes to the bus that runs at most every 30 minutes, but then I’d probably kill myself because side walk clearing is on The property owner, which is so great considering how many old people there are here who can’t do it themselves and probably can’t afford to pay someone else to do it either. I mean we couldn’t possibly just you know, include sidewalk and bike trails in our snow clearing plan at the city level, heaven forbid we do that.
Just report the home owners so the city can fine them, cuz, that’ll really help them pay to have someone shovel their walk or kick that geriatric in the pants. Hey if 80yr old Mr. Kravits breaks his neck doing it himself, it’ll open up a house for the speculators to buy up. Uh the housing crisis is solved!
Psst.. @spokanerising
@SwiftOnSecurity @mike @spokanerising my city loves to trot out numbers about increasing pedestrian deaths and like wonder why while our pedestrian right of way policies are frankly homicidal.

Shabbir Safdar@SwiftOnSecurity this premise is the plot of the new SF book "machinehood" which is quite good.
Nuki's Old Account@SwiftOnSecurity I reject this. People should be cybernetically enhanced to reach new levels of hedonism!
Norman Wilson@SwiftOnSecurity This is why I no longer live in the US.
JJ Celery@SwiftOnSecurity the cybernetic enhancement problem they probably mean has also already started - and the corpo dystopia that comes with it
