oh, are we ranting against HTTPS?
-
tomman
let me introduce the "I live in a commie hellhole", and "HTTPS won't help me because the 99% still uses Facebook"
-
tomman
but yeah, OAuth is garbage
-
tomman
you'll pry out my passwords from my cold dead fingers~
-
tomman
(don't get me started with 2FA; I'm a dinosaur)

CaptainTobin
double your plesure double your fun with double mint authentication
-
CaptainTobin
i guess tomman

also: reminder that if you buy any random KaiOS phone right now, chances are you can't visit anything using Let's Encrypt (that is, half the Internet... including a few banks!) because of an expired DST Root X3 cert
-
tomman
the only fix is to root the phone (because of course your OEM won't be releasing an update anytime soon), if you can (a few handsets are not rootable yet), and then using NSS stuff to manually inject the new roots into phone's cert9.db
-
tomman
yes, I've met banks using Let's Encrypt, including a couple of government-owned ones here
-
CaptainTobin
Let's Encrypt is a cancer
-
CaptainTobin
it basically makes certs worthless
-
CaptainTobin
and if it is worthless and everywhere
-
CaptainTobin
what is the fuckin point
-
CaptainTobin
getting a cert is supposed to MEAN something
-
CaptainTobin
and if you use a proxy then your are paying for literal man in the middle bullshit that could be abused at any time
-
CaptainTobin
assuming half the VPN services already aren't 24/7 honeypots anyway like tor exit nodes
-
CaptainTobin
so worthless certs that anyone can get .. eroding legit CAs and automating everything .. and Google being or becoming a CA .. oh and d'oh .. it all literally breaks how the internet works and makes it antithetical to what it was intended to be.. side from a military comm network
-
CaptainTobin
that is
-
tomman
also, not everybody can afford a VPN
-
CaptainTobin
tomman: so what you are saying is that they are racist and sexist as well as transphobic because you have to pay for them and not everyone has money expecially minorities, women, and alphabet soup+
-
CaptainTobin
I SO want that to be spread!
-
tomman
and yet noone cares about people like me that live in actual communist countries mostly barred from the global economy
-
tomman
so even if I could afford it, there is (almost) no legal way to give money to a VPN for anyone in Soviet Venezuela
-
CaptainTobin
because communism can't happen in america.. there is no communist plots here.. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and 3/4ths of Fox News said so
-
CaptainTobin
we are devided simply by racists sexist transphobic nazi white supremesists
-
tomman
(and yet Netflix is popular here... go figure)
-
CaptainTobin
didn't you know
-
CaptainTobin
I liked Netflix when I could get shit on DVD or when streaming they had shows I liked and also a great selection of docus that were interesting and informative
-
CaptainTobin
now it is just woke politics and pedophilla
-
tomman
I'm glad I wiped TV out of my life, also I don't do streaming services unless I can pipe them to an actual media player (say: VLC, mpv)
-
tomman
of course DRM means they won't be getting a cent off my pockets (assuming I could somehow get an international CC, which are unobtanium here)
-
tomman
I prefer to read, thanks
-
tomman
sadly, kids these days hate reading, and half of Internet these days are YT videos of content that should be blogposts instead
-
CaptainTobin
DRM .. like how widevine is the only DRM that anyone can impliment in their apps and devices with a license from google who won't even respond to you except if you have widevine already there
-
CaptainTobin
oauth2 .. is DRM
-
CaptainTobin
That's IT!
-
CaptainTobin
OAUTH2 IS DRM
-
CaptainTobin
LITERAL DRM
-
CaptainTobin
there you go
-
tomman
nothing triggers me more than looking for, say, a tutorial/howto/whatever, and the ONE AND ONLY RESULT... is a YT video
-
tomman
no, I'm not watching videos, thanks
-
tomman
once again, I'm a dinosaur
-
CaptainTobin
I only watch youtube videos from a few creators and that's it.. the rest of the stuff is on my hard drive and i have had it for years
-
CaptainTobin
and hell that number of creators has diminished to ONLY a few because the content turned to shit
-
tomman
I've watched exactly ONE YT video this year
-
tomman
(a PV for some Touhou arrange, and I'm surprised Japanese creators actually use YT rather than Nico Nico Douga these days)
-
CaptainTobin
clickbate adderal takers are the only valid demographic don't you know
-
CaptainTobin
bait*
-
tomman
I don't watch whatever people call these days "youtubers"
-
tomman
also: Flashblock is a godsend, especially after the death of Flash
-
tomman
(it can also block HTML5 video, which is awesome, and I'm sticking to my modded version 'till the cold death of the universe... or until my DSL dies again, whatever happens first)
-
CaptainTobin
so I will check server preferences if they have gmail or google in them, send up a prompt, if ok then set pref, open system browser to release notes explaining, if cancel prompt next startup
-
CaptainTobin
scheduled release no oauth2
-
CaptainTobin
i already have it ifdef'd in mailnews core
-
CaptainTobin
simple as that
-
CaptainTobin
why am i waiting till tomorrow.. because i ran out of time today deciding what form the notification will take
-
CaptainTobin
from a full xul window to alert box to prompt dialog

tomman: The selection of active forums for general discussion of any topic is a mixed bag. Either you have large and active ones that themselves are a mixed bag, or small and dead ones. There are only a small handful of medium sized one with quality discussions.

Sadly social media ruined my generation's attention span :/

tomman: "one and only result"? how do you do that? :-)
-
» njsg is tired of google returning a pile of clearly unrelated stuff
-
njsg
funnily, I think sometimes I do get "one and only result". Not often, though.

Hi, I have run into a problem: the html file looks ok in SeaMonkey and it looks good when drag drop the file on Safari. But when I upload the file to the server and access it with Safari one of the picture does not show. I tried jpg, jpeg, png with the same result. Besides Safari I also tried Chrome and Firefox - same result.
