Ideally it's the responsibility of management, starting at the top, to think critically about what kind of software most benefits the company and reward those that do it.

I work as if that ideal is true, and can’t stand playing the game. But others are still playing the game and eventually they win whatever B.S. position it is that they aspire to, and I get removed from the board.

Centralizing everyone’s credentials after all these years still seems like the most risky idea ever. The only thing possibly more attractive to a hacker would be free sex and drugs, but only for a little while, and then they’d go back to trying to steal everyone’s credentials.

Some other targets: everyone’s PII, info on friends, family, pets, answers to security questions, mobile IDs, PIN numbers, account numbers, signatures, photos, fingerprints, voice patterns, facial and retinal scans, gaits, DNA, mitochondrial RNA.

and they mostly see Firefox as a monetisation vector.

They could’ve gone the Wikipedia route and heavily asked for donations, but, instead, they’ve chosen to sell user data. That’s why I must leave. At least Google was very obviously reliant on advertising. Mozilla had no excuse other than desperation and pure idiotic evil.

Yes, like:

- Leaving my smartphone in the car in case I must MFA for work or have for safety... I’d love to use a flip phone or minimal smartphone that only had camera, FaceTime, maps and an authenticator; I could just delete apps, but I don’t want to be able to install anything that wastes my life.

- If others are watching streaming video, could go somewhere else to read.

But, I may not have adequate willpower, and I struggle to read.
