If I was in a room with Donald Trump, what would be the most insulting, hurtful, enraging thing I could say to him? What would personally offend him most?

I appreciate your repeated efforts to ensure that everyone is familiar with the Letter from Birmingham Jail. Certainly better than most civics classes do. I hope, though, most will engage with the text (and context) to gain their own understanding that can be compared with your interpretation.

The main thrust, from what I can tell, of your calls for collective action has been that the flow of this dynamic goes injustice->direct action->justice. This has been, in (some) historical cases, accurate. Those pointing out that the end you imagine is neither guaranteed nor inevitable are not neccesarily comfortable centrists trying to avoid inconveniencing the puppeteering elite.

Some people weigh the likelihood of carnage and death from your proposals (especially under the lens of your worldview, with catastrophic violence from the death cult imminent or already occuring) against the likelihood and impact of success and find that they pale in effectiveness to other means (including other forms of direct action!) but at much greater cost. There may be merit to understanding and engaging with the critique rather than treating it all as if it comes from Skex but

I think the key thing that people tend to miss is that security is designed without respect to culture at all. In a vacuum, a long complicated password that is different for every service and every person is more secure, but when applied to human behavior, that requirement undermines itself because people don't actually work that way. It's sort of where the STEMlord caricature comes from -- someone who is undeniably clever, but functionally only makes things worse because their projections don't take into account the lived experience of people who aren't them. Most forms of bureaucracy suffer from the exact some problem, though they compound it by adding in bias towards corporate and profits over all.

Of course, it usually plays out with the people who use it hating the people who made it and visa versa, so it's a problem that never gets solved.

Password policies simply don't make sense. The idea that I can remember a bunch of unique passwords that may have to change every 90 days is complete nonsense. It's not possible to comply with password systems as designed. To function, it's simply necessary to evade steps: mostly, password reuse, and for that dumb 90 day poo poo, incrementing passwords.

That said, running a massively important DB with admin/admin isn't a failing of individual users, that's an IT department fuckup.

That's what password managers are for. No-one expects you to remember those passwords now. You have one password for your password manager combined with 2FA. You don't use that password anywhere else.

The solution to those things are a physical credential or a guard.

A nationalized identity system that can be easily plugged into. It's the only way we are even going to think about climbing out of the personal data hell world we have created. Passwords be damned, we've mostly already accepted finger print ID, and since we grow it should be a key that can be updated regularly.

There is always going to be a way to hide your identity. But for those things where I need to be myself I need to know it's secure(encrypted, which means updated, all encryption can be busted in time) , monitored(by the NSA, those assholes who already have all our data, they should be working for us.) and can have a real enforceable public policy associated with it( legislation, rather than EULAS). I as US Joe citizen need my identity secured as a matter of business, national security, and safety.

Till we solve this there will be no functional Medicare for all, privacy ceases to exist, the obscenely rich will continue to hide their wealth, speech will be manipulated by dark shadow cabals of oligarchs, and weapons will flow unchecked.

I know everyone will say it can't be done, but it really must if we hope to fix this hellworld.

It's not complicated or hard.

Enterprise password managers allow sharing of account info to multiple users if needed as well as remote wipes if an employee loses a device or is fired or quits.

Keep in mind all you'd get is strongly worded letters expressing "grave concern" so you could probably do whatever you want and smack GOP around and they'd spend 3 dragging their feet and then 5 years investigating, who else in Washington is going to stop you? You could spend 2 terms smacking Mitch with a rolled up paper and spraying centrist Dems with water when they want to "compromise"

Ershalim posted:

Uh huh. Which is great until you're talking about something like a Pyxis machine or a door to an emergency room/trauma center, which usually also have passwords which are supposed to rotate for security concerns. The situation is that in practice, you've got something that is reasonably important, rare, or dangerous enough to require locking it up, and a lot of people in high stress situations who don't really have the time or latitude to try and get the information if they happen to lose it.

The narrow view you're taking is probably the one that you yourself use on the regular, but there are hundreds of other applications of the same problem that I pointed out. There are also, I would assume, solutions that take into account the real-life use cases instead of assuming that there's a simple, obvious software solution to a work-culture-based problem.

We were very clearly talking about computer security, not physical security.

However, passwords/entry codes for those things can also be stored in a password manager (on your phone) if necessary, though typically people have the ability to remember quite a few short keycodes/PINs.

Bringing clearly different use cases that weren't being discussed or edge cases if you're going to go to "What if your phone isn't allowed?" isn't really helping your point.

I might as well run for President even if I wasn't born on US soil and just walk into the White House and bark orders. What respect to constitution? The Military take orders from an obvious Russia plant working against US interests who violates it all the time.

But watch, if Bernie gets elected, they'll fight him harder than Trump.

Ershalim posted:

You quoted me, so I assumed you were talking to me. I was talking about tech solutions not taking into account problems that arise from culture not being accounted for, and then provided other examples of the same thing. I don't care what the solution ends up being, and I'm not really interested scoring points against you or anything. I'm advocating for people to take an approach to takes into account the fact that there can be no security that doesn't account for the end user, because it will always, as EW mentioned, end up with people sidestepping the security measures entirely -- as it currently does in hospitals, army bases, prisons, etc., etc..

Reminder that way back when Trump and co recruited mulvaney for chief of staff he turned it down lol, insisting on a number of conditions before taking the job, one of which was that his title be the "acting" chief of staff.
Life comes at you fast.
