Usually a lurker.Maybe I should've just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment...

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • The only (known to me) perk of the paid version is the encrypted storage (and probably the org feature).

    So yeah. I see it more of a donation/appreciation than a service fee.But the recent peice increase stung a bit.

  • Yesterday I was nicely prompted to accept their ToS to continue using their service.No mention if it was FF Relay, Mozilla acc or just Firefox.Because I didnt want to blindly accept anything I went into the about:config page and disabled the banner.

    Honestly: Fuck that.

  • I see the numerous websites having to close down because they can't/won't do the integration.

    I mean look at YT.The stupid COPPA law prevents me from reading funny comments under cartoon intros because youtube couldnt be arsed to prevent kids from using the regular youtube app instead of the "youtube kids" app.Even some meme clips are barred because youtube thinks they are "for kids" (lmao) (Example. Ironically those videos, when shared, don't have a tracking id in the url and some of the quick access share options like for whatsapp are not available, only the internal share options by the OS)

    Another example that grinds my gears on YT:

    • Mini player is deactivated, because supposedly kids could watch the forbidden sauce in a minimized video while the parent couldnt see wht it was.
    • Adding to playlists is forbidden. But why??? What is so dangerous about being able to add a video to a playlist? Just deny kids to watch a playlist if it's not 100% populated with "made for kids" or something.
    • Commenting is disabled. Even if the account is known to be a verified adult account.

    All of these just because some USA state needed to extend their reach across country borders because they are headquartered there.Just restrict it to USA-IPs or something. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

  • Whether it should be government-mandated is one question,

    That:s my primary issue

    Is your expectation then that parents should sit over their kids' shoulder every moment that they access the internet? Are our tools not supposed to make that easier to handle?

    In a perfect world, I would want APIs and other integrations be made available that will do that and the parent will only need to press a button to allow/deny it.Not really government mandated but voluntarily by a group that executes the vision of a parent, requested by the government (due to requests by the parental society but not because corps deciding they need/want more controllable elements) and the technical parties (e.g. OS devs) that can integrate the wish.

    Unfortunately this will probably be a mandated integration requiring everyone, doesnt matter if a child is existing, to authenticate that they are truly legally able to access the device and/or ressource.Great, now as a childless person I have to do those things because some were irresponsible and ruined it for everyone :/

    I hope I could communicate my issue.

  • It's not needed, thar's the parents job. Not the OS' job

  • I love password based login

  • Can it be copied from your phone? (e.g. by migrating your phone via a backup)Then it can be compromitted and is essentially a single factor (because some website permit you to login via the key only).Only if you'd need to completetly renew the key, then it's truly secure.
