Bhante Subharo ☸@JessTheUnstill It is unfortunately the case that security and convenience are often "allergic" to each other. The *more* you make a technology secure, the *less* convenient it (usually) gets to use it. Once in a while a nerd-Titan like Moxie Marlinspike comes along and defies this pattern by coding for WhatsApp or Signal. But the general pattern remains: convenience and security are usually allergic to each other. Please don't impute intention - that there was *necessarily* malice.

I used to take this as a given but I’ve seen so many cases where organizations put the burden of security on their users (customers or, more often, employees) when it wasn’t absolutely necessary to do so.
C++ Wage SlaveAgreed. One common way they do this is by choosing insecure defaults, which most people never change.
