@mainframed767@infosec.exchange "personal" is kind of fascinating, as that implies the company isn't facing charges but actual managers. The court case will be interesting as arguably someone is between the responsible manager and the security holes in the sandbox that was supposed to keep this safe and contained

@StarkRG @fesshole I've been told off by a past manager for being particular with the words I'm using, but in a technical field those words have proper meanings, so being unambiguous is important

@sxa@fosstodon.org our github Entra auth is worse as it's about half an hour. Security have not found any control to tune it so we're just having to click through twice an hour. The worst is native apps that decide to log you out every two weeks. Frankly PayPal is one of the stupidest as I have biometrics enabled so there's no reason not to have a much longer auth token!

@ulid000 @mikarv I had the same argument with my team when they tried to limit passwords to similarly ascii-only characters and not some special chars. I told them in no uncertain terms, if the user can enter it, it is valid for a password, we don't get to decide what languages are acceptable

@mainframed767 @arstechnica the term is "dark coding" and apparently it's a good thing to reach level 5 in Dan Shapiro's framework where the developer only does specs. It sounds terrifying to me...

@drajt@fosstodon.org @jasoncoon@leds.social standard Firefox on android supports ad blockers. Firefox focusbis minimalistic, it has limited tabs, no history and clears all cookies often. That plus a resilience to fingerprinting makes it a great daily default

@jasoncoon@leds.social @drajt@fosstodon.org I'm so glad I use Firefox (especially Firefox focus on my phone as primary browser, it seemed to do reasonably well in the browser fingerprint study I was part of. Hope they publish soon)

@shezza_t@mastodon.ie @InTheseHeels@mastodon.ie I thought the challenge with eels is we've never actually observed them breeding, and the sargasso sea is the best we know about where at least some go to breed. For years nobody had a clue (iirc the ancient Greeks thought they manifested out of the ground or something). My grandfather's PhD was on the migration of eels, though was in Polish

@hazelweakly obviously regionally yes, but why was there ever an ISO and an ANSI (I get optimised things like dvorak, and realise why we're qwerty, but moving just symbols around seems odd, and especially painful when the number of keys changes as software remapping becomes impossible then)

@InTheseHeels@mastodon.ie I'd have assumed you'll be in a gown anyway for a CT scan, but that's just a guess. Did they provide any instructions? Mine was for bladder so had a contrast dye injection, not sure if that necessitated a gown or if it was to avoid thicker waist bands. Never even occurred to me that there might be an option to avoid a gown.. Good luck!
