@moonman @verius (I hope he doesn't mind my saying that, but I wouldn't mention if I thought he would) -

@verius By the way while it crosses my mind @Moonman is a java guy, so if you have stuff that you can't figure out with Mustard he could probably lend a hand if he has time. -

@verius @archaeme Every time a company responds to a server breach by imposing two-factor authentication I identify another company that either doesn't understand security - or usually much more likely - thinks we're idiots. -

@verius @archaeme I say "forced" because while the actual imposition of Steam Guard is "optional" they exert such restrictive digital restrictions on both games, and your account, if you do not have Steam guard, that you are coerced into doing so. If you have to do something to operate basic functions of an application, then that something is not "optional" -

@verius @archaeme No, it's forced in the EU too, though I'm not sure if they've sold EU numbers. They got fined a not insignificant amount of money recently by the Competition Bureau here in Canada for an omnibus of complaints, of which this was one. Surprised the gaming news wasn't all over that, but Valve does have a lot of money to make things go away, and the gaming press is very corruptable. -

@verius I have a hard time following Java logic but that doesn't even seem like usual Java-ness, but rather just, a bad idea. Along with that, what if the highest ID is a blocked user? I hope its at least that smart, but there's just so many ways that could go wrong. -

@archaeme @verius @bob Someone mind telling Bob that his messages aren't federating to me because of some sort of certificate error? -

@archaeme @verius I've said it time and time again - 2FA even in its ideal, doesn't protect you from account compromises that happen as a result of sloppy server security.
The client can be armed to the teeth, connected to mains electricity, and rigged to explode if tampered with, it doesn't matter, if the server has a revolving door. -

@deavmi I am not against ADDING to the core protocol - quite the opposite in fact! But I think we should maintain that core functionality as is so that we don't break stuff for older instances like RDN. -

@deavmi Yes. Actually the kind of tragic thing about it is the uptake in development activity recently has been happening in the midst of the actual pump network basically disintegrating due to servers disappearing, domains expiring, etc. While StatusNet/GNU social benefitted from not insignificant sponsorship to fund dev, Pump never found that kind of backing. -

@deavmi OStatus is a W3C standard, though what I think of the W3C is another topic entirely. -

@archaeme @verius Steam Guard's 2FA was and is an explicit grab for phone numbers to sell. There's been several reports confirming that as soon as people used it with burner numbers they started getting telemarketing calls. -

@verius There's actually a common open source app most of them use that IS clean that I look for in them though I don't remember the name of it. Pretty much every proprietary alternative to it exists as surveillance. -

@verius I happen to know of more than one game that has sold location data from where people were using authenticators from. I know of a couple that have made the news by having the authenticator application track you even when closed.
I trust them even less than rms does -

@verius I don't think it matters, holding people to in-game consequences for out-of-game activities is just all sorts of bad mojo. -

@verius To me it's an instance of something that has security implications being hijacked by the mainstream corporations into something used to control and have surveillance on user actions. -

@verius 2FA the ideal is fine.
2FA the phone number thing is shit. And it's designed that way for a reason - ask yourself, why do so many entities that participate in tracking systems keep trying to tell you that this is secure and you should totally do it? -

@verius Ultimately, she was sanctioned because she made a fuss and someone reported her, but when others have done the same thing and not be sanctioned, then it's not a good thing. Moreover, I don't think it's appropriate to punish someone in-game for stuff that's entirely divorced from the game (the contents of her Twitter profile are what they had a real problem with, apparently, since it contains nudes). -

@deavmi I think we saw from Pump how fragmenting the userbase goes, even if you have the best of intentions (which I think Evan and company did) -

@verius I've reported people myself for the same things. Nikki seems to have been singled out because she made people uncomfortable with the fact she was transgender.
