That Microsoft considered protecting DRM content before protecting users in their new keylogger really shouldn’t be shocking, but somehow was. Classic capitalism.
In a move that will surprise no one, there has clearly been zero thought of the abusive partner scenario for this feature. Not only that, I can’t envisage a way the feature can be made safe for someone in an abusive/controlling relationship.
Another shocking thing for me in Microsoft’s statement is the phrase “when sites do not follow standard internet protocols like cloaking password entry”.
The ability to optionally show the content of a password field is an accessibility feature. Microsoft is saying here that if you have a cognitive impairment then it’s your own fault if you get your passwords stolen.
My kindly neighbours will sometimes call over the garden fence for a chat/gossip. They know from experience I have appalling hearing and cannot locate sound. They attempt to resolve this by saying “Rob, I’m here”.
I appreciate the attempt at least.
I started reading a Malcolm Gladwell book. I know he gets a lot of criticism, but I like to make my own judgement on these things.
Anyway, I feel like I’m getting stupider by reading it.
My home town, like many, has a Hollywood-inspired ‘walk of fame’ where local celebrities names are included in stars. Yet the dude I went to school with who had the massive willy who went to LA to star in porn films, is not amongst them.
I stopped in at the Jewish bakery on my way home last night. Someone had stuck a bunch of ‘free Palestine’ stickers around.
Come on folks. Jewish people are not responsible for the actions of the Israeli state. I cannot get my head around how this is hard to understand.
Anyway, my Beigel was incredible. Even if the service is consistently, charmingly, terrible.
@RobW it does not help that within the Jewish community the attitude “you should 100% support Israel and everything it does or you are an ungrateful little shit” has been an issue for years
