Source? And what are these consensus opinions? (Honest questions)

Admin: We should turn off the AV auto update in prod and test it in staging first.

Manager/CISO: That would increase our exposure time on zero day vulnerabilities. Overruled.

Those are not mutually exclusive.

"Most computer systems we interact with have an auth system of some kind."

The first sentence in the article actually highlights a nice "side effect" of the very thing it complains about. Covering "Authentication" and "Authorization" with a single "auth". Convenient for those who understand the concepts and don't need the distinction. Especially since these terms are strongly related and often come together.

So essentially you order off the menu based on your surroundings?

I'm on a OnePlus 11 (upgraded from a OnePlus 6T) and it's great. My only issue is that there's a small selection of cases for it, especially if you want one that's magsafe compatible.

Wait, what do you mean magsafe? I have a oneplus 11 5g and I didn't even think this phone had wireless charging.

I purchased an olixar wireless adapter and an olixar sentinel case, they work well but the adapter takes up my USB C so I always have to remove the case, unplug, and put it back on.

Magsafe is used for things other than wireless charging. Tons of accessories that mount to the magsafe "ring"

This was difficult to read. Not a hint of empathy on that thread.

It really does call into question everything in the origt blog post. The emails from the CEO are such a breath of fresh air. Even the typos are endearing. It reads like an immediate, frank, unfiltered reaction, giving an honest expression of his values. and he didn't lose his cool while being repeatedly taunted by the blog author who only wanted a one-way attack amd the last word without listening to a rebuttal.

I think you can read that thread in multiple ways depending on your previous experience.

As a woman who’s had bad experiences with men before, this kind of “no you owe me your time” behaviour usually triggers a “get away from this guy; fast” kind of response.

This doesn’t mean Kagi is necessarily bad or that this was what Vlad intended, but it does for sure reduce my faith in the project. Not enough to stop paying for Kagi, but I’ve definitely gone to the “raise shields, power phasers” stage.

That's fair I guess. That's not meant flippantly, but I don't have that experience so I can only guess. However isn't it best to assume good faith in a non threatening situation?

If this is a regular "trigger point" in real life, I can understand that as a knee jerk, but there's no danger or need for immediate reaction via email, so why judge through that lens once you've identified you're doing so?

Lenin, Stalin, Putin...

"There's this new guy, Flapin. Good strong name, let's make him our leader! What could possibly go wrong?"

Obviously he did. I guess you wanted to say "I disagree" but phrase it more aggressively?

Alternatively, it could be viewed as the whole purpose behind the attack.
