In short, just answering this question (which as stated in the other comment is not the issue), yes that person has t done anything wrong. There is no offence for wearing hats in banks.

It refutes nothing, it attempts to place the blame for cloudflare incompetence at the feet of a user who has done nothing wrong.

I hope this is true, it seems to make sense even to someone with absolutely no knowledge of this stuff, like me. It seems simple. I like simple.

This company is older than America...

From my extremely limited searching (Wikipedia) it's almost as old as the state itself.

I used this once, completely unrelated to version control, to visualise the number of referrals my dept had received over time (broken down but year and month) to visually show the growth of referrals and why we needed more people to manage the influx.

Was it cool? Yes. Did it show the issue in an easily to understand way anyone could understand? Yes. Did it change anything? Hell no.

I vaguely remember this from this last year though I can't remember all the details. That's a scary slippery slope.

Of course it'll be presented as a security feature, because users are dumb, whilst also allowing vendors to lock you into their ecosystem; similar to how passkeys are currently being push by these same companies.

It wasn't meant to be taken seriously, I was using it to show the ridiculousness of blaming a user for the shortcomings of cloudflare.

But if you like: the arbitrarily blocked user if not at fault, cloudflare is at fault.

Maybe you're right, I see it all the time. Assume cloudflare do other dumb stuff too then like up ranges and just being generally crap at their jobs.

I think this principle likely does not include the public sector which like to promote to incompetence, and beyond; buzz lightyear style.

The issue is scummy companies like cloudflare which are causing these issues. If your software is blocking legitimate users then your software is shit at its job. It's not the users fault.

The suggestion you should have to bend over backwards for shitty software like cloudflare is bad enough; but if you were going to surely creating a new browser profile is far easily than spinning up a debain docker image, updating it and the installing Firefox and the running it?

It seems that if you use Firefox with an adblocker then cloudflare spam is all you see. Though I have experienced this in plain Firefox too.

Cloudflare are a scummy company trying to force you to use one browser and view all ads.

It's just another day isn't it?

Personally I'd go with 13 months of 4 weeks each.

The only issue I see would be if you were born on a Monday your birthday would always be on a Monday.

Passkeys are a shitshow at the moment, I store passkeys in my password manager along with 2fa codes as it is the only way to make them reasonably usable. And obviously the only other way to manage passkeys is to rely either on a single device, trust big corps and vendor lock in, or to have multiple passkeys on multiple devices/services for the same sites/accounts.

Or you can protect the database with a keyfile and/or a hardware key meaning you need 2 or 3 factors for the database.

This is what I do for my keepass database. It means I can store my database in a cloud service of my choice for sync purposes too.

There's a clear agenda with this article. I'm all for website wrapping apps being websites again. But I'm definitely sick of websites that should be apps. And I'd use a native app any day over a bloated website masquerading as an app, especially on desktop.

The "let's make it cross platform" is what lead me to dart and flutter. These aren't mentioned and for the developers of them is definitely a hard problem. But as far as I'm concerned they're doing a bang up job.

I agree with sync though. Hard problem with no simple solution for an idiot like me to do.

Succeeded where AI failed.

This reminds me of a short fiction story I read on HN ages ago about two programmers that find some word code in a program that turns out to be some AI hiding itself in all known compilers so when ever any software was created it was present. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the story or author though.

My device is currently not supported, their FAQ about this is needlessly passive aggressive, though I can assume there's a reason.

I remember these website designs, there's something good about them.

It's not just some sites, the article goes into more detail than this, for example the biggest sticking point to me mentioned in the article is vendor and device lock-in. This is a recipe for getting locked out of your accounts and is far from a conspiracy theory. The only answer to this is create multiple passkeys on multiple devices/services OR use a password manager.

This is hardly the frictionless experience promised by passkeys. And it's perfectly valid to point this out. I don't care about the decisions and trade offs that got us to this point and not should I have to. If you want me to use a shitshow you designed the onus is on you to fix it, not me as the person you're attempting to force it onto.

I'd forgotten about WoT. I was going to mention what they did to The Expanse when they took over the show but as a straight steaming pile of shit WoT takes it. I couldn't even finish the third episode.
