I think people also need to accept the fact we're never going to engineer a solution to human stupidity. If our society doesn't raise people to be good users, no amount of hardening will stop systems from being compromised.
- XMPPwocky 7y agoLike what? I've written in-depth about why "don't click untrusted links" is unhelpful: see https://xmppwocky.net/blog.py?page=22 https://xmppwocky.net/blog.py?page=22
- Nullabillity 7y agoThat domain isn't resolving.
- ZiiS 7y agoIt is also and untusted link, so I feel could only be preaching to the choir.
- Nullabillity 7y agoRight. Heh.
- gear54rus 7y agoAgreed. Wasting countless hours on the engineering end doesn't seem wise when those same hours could be spent doing something meaningful. This requires education on the user end. Education that will help them understand the world around them better so everyone wins in the end.
- pas 7y agoThose are wasted hours. We have to make stuff maximally safe AND educate users, because even that maximal safety/ergonomics/etc. is too little compared to how complex our world is.
