Yeah, what a great idea, let random "cloud" services authenticate who gets to login to your machine!

- reubensutton 10y agoBeing unconstructively snarky about a concept that another member of this forum has presented is both poor manners and defies the guidelines linked in the bottom of the page
- problems 10y agoJust making a critique of the concept. Didn't think that was against any guidelines.
- blowski 10y agoI agree with your opinion, and of course critiques are always welcome here, but your comment does seem unnecessarily snarky. Perhaps something like this would be more in keeping with the HN guidelines: "It seems like a big risk to allow a little-known cloud service to authorise SSH access to your laptop. What are the use cases for this? What do you need to be careful of?"
- VeejayRampay 10y agoIf you're going to start your sentence by the heavily condescending "Yeah, what a great idea", then don't pretend you don't understand how that could be against the rules. You can't have your lunch and eat it. Especially if you're not going to provide some facts / hard evidence to back up your assertion that this is, in fact, not a good idea.
- problems 10y agoI think the rest of my statement backed that up pretty well. I'm not clear though - I'm to expect hackernews has rules which demand I weasel-word my criticisms? That seems ridiculous.
