    The weakest link in any system is the user, not the security policy (or lack thereof).

    I’ve seen this particular policy aggravate users to the point where they would rather export sensitive company data onto their own personal machines rather than deal with having to reauth once per hour into some Entra ID SSO-backed web app.

    Or even users who generate service account credentials that they share around with their team such that nobody uses their own account to login anymore

    When your policy teeters towards aggravating users, many of them will just find clever ways to circumvent it, which is a losing situation for everyone.


  • I was referring to the Winnie the Pooh thing as being racist. Although the Winnie the Pooh joke started out in China, it has since been repeatedly taken up by Western, English-speaking critics in bad faith.

    It’s just a silly way of signaling “oh look at the Chinese, their political system is so fragile and so authoritarian that you can’t even make a harmless joke. Such a backwards society!”

    Never mind the fact that in the United States we have the same thing. It’s illegal to be an avowed member of the Communist party in America. Criticism of America’s allies (specifically, Israel) is also apparently a deportable offense.

    Like I’m sorry, if your beef with China is that their free AI platform that’s baked into toys you give to your children (because the thought of spending time with them or socializing them is absolutely mortifying to you) discourages them from name-calling people, you might need to grow up a bit.

    “Waahhh, this doll is teaching my 3 year old to become a Chinese sleeper cell spy for the great socialist revolution.”

    Are you fucking high? Your 3 year old is going to be fine.
