One of the things that the Stack Overflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led. If it’s a VC-funded startup, they will sell out their users at some point.

Today, 16 years ago, Debian published a security advisory announcing CVE-2008-0166, a severe bug in their OpenSSL package that effectively broke the random number generator and limited the key space to a few ten thousand keys. The vulnerability affected Debian+Ubuntu between 2006 and 2008. In 2007, an email signature system called DKIM was introduced. Is it possible that people configured DKIM in 2007, never changed their key, and are still vulnerable to CVE-2008-0166? https://16years.secvuln.info/ 🧵

“At this point I think that #Passkey will fail in the hands of the general consumer population. Corporate interests have overruled good user experience once again.”

F*cking #Google and its de facto monopoly in the browsers market.

“Chrome simply never implemented it leading to it being removed. And it was removed because #Chrome never implemented it. As a result, if Chrome doesn’t like something in the specification they can just veto it without consequence.”

How true a read, and how depressing how Google and Apple ruined a good idea.
