From most of my friends here Mastodon does seem to be the choice I stopped opening social media accounts LOL guess I got to go for another one! Not happy about musk madness.
Veterans Day.
Remembering the two most important men in my lifetime, my father, US Army Infantry, South Korea, my husband, US Navy Corpsman, Vietnam.
Both came home, but neither survived their service.
Strange to see this post from you precisely after reading that Rubio believes that permanent daylight savings will reduce crime accidents and children doing naughty things but the sleep "expert" psychologist disagrees. Insomnia will get worse he claims. What happened to science?
So who amongst my pals is leaving Twitter? I am very torn. Hate the players not you. I need you where are we going are we staying or we heading on down the road somewhere? Your take?
Ha! I have a few candidates every pun intended as well Florida and Arizona between you and me not so candidate happy this week but yes I have a few that would be perfect to serve consecutive sentences LOL I laughed 🥰
A site may use Web protocols but if money or TOS, walled garden. If CAPTCHA or 2 factor with one means to access? Not a site at all if we go by, say, design principles? To paraphrase Sir Tim Berners-Lee, we failed the Web, it did not fail us. What are we doing 33 years on? #A11y
If you are in #security#privacy#opsec#webdesign#webdevelopment or any web related profession, please provide alternatives to 2 factor authentication and device specific, vendor driven, not aware or just don't know to go the extra mile for users no matter what? Here's a fact:
While 2 factor authentication might be a necessary evil, like CAPTCHA without alternatives to visual only, the site is now not available, not usable, not anything. It might as well be non-existent, and the process of different devices is, for many with #a11y needs? Failure.
When we build sites and limit access, it's accessibility. In fact, availability is a synonym - to access something means it must be available to access. This practice of not having alternatives such as email verification or the entire 2 factor - meaning more than one device? WTF?
This is not just a security or privacy concern with mobile numbers, too many passwords stored by browsers, often to cloud services, completely hackable, but to close availability to Web sites - many social, medical, and utility related, well, hello ACCESSIBILITY FAIL #a11y
From @simonw when still at University and loving on Python, at the time thought too quirky for most (ha! now huh?) to the infamous Frank Abegnale when still with the FBI in cybercrimes - passwords should not exist as we enter 2023. Much less 2 factor authentication voice or SMS?
Changing my phone number would not be so big a deal but for the hours I can sit at the desk, around two 3-5 times a week, making me slow as well as sick and old (truth lol) the 2 factor authentication when only the phone number for voice or SMS verification? That is a nightmare
Make me laugh. Between Arizona political endless b.s., tech support that is the 10th circle of hell, shortening of daylight here, well, color me irritated. So, make me laugh! You know you want to. ;-)
