@munin Google had section 230 protections before.I think we need to wake them up to the reality that this won't have such protections.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116597735999289806I hope it explodes with great vigor.

This applies heavily to tech interfaces generally - looking at you, iOS and android, where not only do they hide significant parts of the machine's function from the user (kids these days don't know what a filesystem is because of this!) but the developers keep changing the interface and the workflows to access functions of the device.

@phesslerEach individual user may not consider a given credential as worth needing MFA, but since most users reuse passwords, it's arguably better move for the ecosystem and site operators to require some kind of MFA. Otherwise, if one site gets popped, a wave of user accounts could be abused in bulk and require operator intervention. Whether or not mass lockout/reset is inconvenient enough for the individual user to think MFA is a good trade-off may vary.@munin

@munin I daresay most interviewers would understand the need at that point

you know, the whole point of computers in the first place was to make it so you could automate the exact same thing to happen multiple times in a row so that you didn't have to attend to it yourself.

@munin It seems they have forgotten that responding to polotical backlash is as much about managing the massess as it is about controlling the projects.This will not end well.

Publishing "hallucinated" content is wholly unacceptable, and any outlet doing so ought to be shut down and purged from the record.https://thewalrus.ca/the-new-york-times-got-caught-using-ai-hallucinations-in-its-reporting/

@munin wasn’t someone doing this by Las Vegas a few years ago?

@Catfish_Man The problem with today's murderesses is a shocking lack of professionalism and process management.

@munin oh, so this is just a ban on VPNs, huh? greatgreatgreat...

@nullpo hence the depth of my headache

@munin not to go on a "the problem is capitalism" rant but this & climate change are such prime examples of whats broken if we motivate power primarily through profit. These are things The Market can not solve, this is not something we can fix with a tweak. And instead of tackling them we ignore them until you absolutely cannot ignore them any longer & then refuse to act.

@foone @munin It is really weird that they bother with those instead of making sure their servers don't go down because of 201 parameters passed into production without testing it in a staging environment.
