Yeah that’s fair, you won’t be seeing be defending the Russian government and in fact I agree with most of this. I just wanted to point out common hypocrisy I see in online spaces where a different, zero tolerance standard is applied when it comes to foreign policy
- Describing TOTP as a “great solution” for adding security to a password-based account. When the most common threat model on the web is phishing (a word the post never mentions!), TOTP hardly buys you anything. TOTP is phishable.
If (after decades of awareness) you manage to get phished while using TOTP, you shouldn’t be trusted with a phone or any digital information at all
Them “evil tankies” that “support” Russia only ever do so to take the (in their mind) lesser evil stance compared to what they see as complete western dominance in the region, were Russia to lose. Not that I agree with that, but it’s funny how nuance and lesser evilism only exist to you guys when it comes to absolve yourselves for voting for pedophile war criminals painted blue in America
I didn’t know of this, I still prefer the control TOTP gives you but yeah, that makes an argument for the passkeys I guess.
