It's "not a threat" in exactly the same way "Nice family, it'd be a shame if something happened to them" isn't.

I'm legit open to hearing from people who want to argue that "scumbag" isn't an appropriate and accurate description of a person who engages in this behaviour. I would be genuinely curious to hear the logic behind such a

I'd love it if people would stop assuming it was a rhetorical question in bad faith. I have addressed this multiple times already. It was not rhetorical.

My response to this is: "fair enough" :)

This is precisely why I created this issue. My mission is now accomplished. I very much appreciate your thanks :)

That would indeed be my argument.

The question was absolutely not rhetorical.

by antisol 5y ago
sorry, I'm not clear. what are you saying I did dishonestly? Are you saying that I wasn't legitimately asking a question? Because I was. The note about that is 100% factually accurate.

You still haven't addressed my question. I'd respond to the rest of your vague and incorrect opinions, but why would I do that if you're not even going to bother to address my points despite me asking you to repeatedly?

Sounds like you had a shitty pdf viewer installed. Which is not my problem. Why was I forced to install a substandard, feature-poor, ridiculously slow pdf viewer that I never wanted and which took over as the default pdf viewer against my w

How is NAT the browser's problem? You're about 10,000 words short of "excruciating", and about half a dozen reasons short of "a variety" >There are no reason to continue using ancient protocol forever. You u

No, it doesn't. The parent explicitly mentions that there are no warnings for a cleartext http connection, but warnings for an encrypted connection to a self-signed certificate. This is security theatre, not actual security.

you didn't answer my question. I asked how many times you saw this exploited in the wild, not "how would an attack theoretically work".

How many in-the-wild attacks did you see using XUL from extensions that were in the curated addons ecosystem, i.e not downloaded and manually installed via extra steps a novice is unlikely to go through?

hahaha. "my UX wasn't diminished" "nearly seamless" That's pretty funny.

>there is nothing vague here: FTP is a cleartext protocol Sometimes there's nothing wrong with transferring stuff in cleartext. Screaming vague and meaningless "for security!" mantras isn't helpful.
