@nigel @Gina Not really, it is more that they are forcing bad habits on users. Hoping that they value to be on the site more than they value security/safety practices.

In most cases sheeple tend to follow them.

@Gina I completely agree. I hope that most sites will go that route.
@Gina Yikes, so now I have to weigh whether I still want to access the site by scanning an unknown QR code or not at all. I think I will end up using a lot less sites on the internet.

@mboelen Ik maak gebruik van de Alias dienst van Proton voor ditzelfde doel.

Deze is open source en heb ik ter test ook al eens opgezet: https://simplelogin.io/

Wellicht interessant om van af te kijken hoe zij dingen hebben gedaan. Onderwater gebruiken ze namelijk Postfix.

Geen idee of je er iets aan hebt, maar dacht ik deel het toch even.

Ik was even klaar met alle incident responders die nav de Canvas hack weer vooraan stonden om de betrouwbaarheid van ransomware criminelen te benadrukken. Dus ik schreef er iets over:

@EricChrSmit @thefirewall hopelijk pushen jullie ook vooral flink tegen de op korte termijn toenemende dreiging van appdwang (mn door nationale en Europese overheid en banken..).https://appdwang.nl/

Bied weerstand tegen appdwang en laat je geen apps opdringen! Op appdwang.nl vind je praktijkvoorbeelden en argumenten om duidelijk te maken wat je van appdwang vindt.

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

"... the upcoming "Tech Sovereignty Package" (TSP) might bring to the cloud computing market. US cloud giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google could be restricted in their ability to process specific data types on behalf of public organizations, including financial, judicial, and health-related data."
