😗 is the weird uncle, :3 is pretty me

Autofill is still an issue though. I can’t recall which settings are off by default but I found I need them a lot of times and so I always have to enable them and give accessibility permissions to Bitwarden, which sometimes it loses. It really annoys me and if it can annoy me it can’t be used by people who don’t want to deal with any tech that doesn’t work out of the box.

As someone who is way too tech literate I would argue tech should be made more accessible. I wholeheartedly disagree with the walled garden approach, but the fact that I just had a conversation with my friends with the result of “but I won’t use a password manager, because it’s too complicated” is very eye opening.

Here’s my setup for instance: Bitwarden, I log into my own server (which it self is kind of a hidden setting), then go into Settings > Autofill, check everything, grant a dozen obscure permissions (most people won’t know what they are) and then sometimes it just doesn’t work. Yet again sometimes it randomly loses said permissions and I have to grant them again, meaning I couldn’t even help someone while setting it up, because eventually it might break.

People should be able to download a password manager of their choosing and then grant a “this is a password manager” option, which shouldn’t be easily exploitable. Instead apps and websites should clearly declare login forms, but they don’t really so these apps need a fuckton of permissions, over which we should obviously have granular control, so fucking password managers of all things become a powertool.

And these kinds of things happen ridiculously often, over way too much different tech stuff.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I mean from a literary viewpoint this text is pretty well built, I’ve almost believed it for a moment.

this comment made me cry a bit on the inside
