Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.
People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.
honestly, pretty poor security here. I can’t say much cause I don’t have inter-device restrictions either… but I’m also not a bank that handles money.
There’s no reason a random device should have been able to interface with any of the other devices tbh, I’m guessing the switch wasn’t smart so didn’t support Mac filtering or port disabling cause that should have not been a valid attack vector.
That makes sense. I hadn’t really looked at it from the angle of most apps are going on devices anyway. Mine was just because of the fact that it’s super annoying having to have my phone on me at all times for two-factor authentication. Especially considering that most 2FA apps require you to sign in in order to use them anyway.
Also, yeah, that was my ideology when I threw them into my password manager. That if they can manage to breach a device, find my private key that’s used to lock the database and figure out the password for the database. Something far worse has gone wrong and losing my passwords is the least of my issues.
The alternative for people who want a convenience factor is putting it all in the same location. For example, the only thing Authy for desktop closing did for me was make it so I no longer had an isolated app for both 2FA and passwords, because now it’s just all in my password manager.
I don’t always have my phone on me 24x7, so the inability to access things on my desktop is a massive nope for me.
The way I looked at it, it’s no different than having a mobile device with a password manager on it, because if someone steals your mobile device, they have access to everything as well. So the two-factor authentication apps shouldn’t be on desktop argument never made sense to me, mobile is the same way.
This application might make me go back into having the two isolated systems, because it removes the massive inconvenience factor
I mean, with a company as large as cloudflare. I think they could /easily/ strong-arm this move by making blocking google crawlers a default setting on websites. The amount of traffic drop alone from that would make google think twice about the whole ordeal. And people who care about the google search indexers can turn them on again which will allow indexing again. but a default block would cause a lot of disruption google side and many people I don’t think would go in and fix the setting till later on down the road.
Like for real, the only reason I’m associating them with these games now is because they’ve actively brought it into the limelight, so we can see that
I wouldn’t have even thought anything of association if they hadn’t done so.
But now, anytime I see an NSFW game on Steam, I’m immediately associating it with Visa and MasterCard due to the fact that the news is that they’re trying to get rid of those games, which I assume is not what they wanted, but you know it’s what’s happening.
