| 04:19 | <@macdjord> | ErikMesoy: Alas, it is a common format, and one rarely has an alternative format available. |
| 04:23 | <@macdjord> | Given the options of 'share useful info in an annoying format' or 'don't share it at all', I'mma lean towards the first. |
| 04:26 | <@macdjord> | And honestly, the best solution seems to me to be 'don't convert possible .zip and .mov URLs into clickable links unless they start with http:// explicitly' |
| 04:27 | < Mahal> | It's also frankly a stupid thing to be complaining about |
| 04:27 | < Mahal> | I mean the .zip and .mov domains |
| 04:27 | < Mahal> | .com was an executable back in the early days of the web, after all |
| 04:28 | < Mahal> | Yes, it opens up opportunities for new phishing attacks but frankly if you're relying on users to get everything right you're already losing the game |
| 04:28 | < Mahal> | any barely-decent security system will be entirely able to handle this kind of shit |
| 04:28 | < Mahal> | the breathless OMG THE HORROR is just nerds on the internet freaking out about things |
| 04:29 | <@macdjord> | Mahal: In the early days of the web, we didn't have platforms looking for anything that might possible be a URL and automatically turning it into a clickable link. |
| 04:30 | <@macdjord> | Nor were .com files something you would regularly expect to download. |
| 04:31 | < Mahal> | My other point remains valid, though |
| 04:32 | <@macdjord> | 'I clicked on the link you sent me' '... what link?' is absolutely a non-trivial security issue. It's not unsolvable, no, but it's a problem. (I think the 'Google anti-piracy conspiracy' thing is improbable, though.) |
| 04:33 | < Mahal> | What's your day job? |
| 04:33 | < Mahal> | because mine is security, and it's *absolutely* a trivial issue. |
| 04:34 | < Mahal> | this is literally my bread and butter and pretty much everyone in my field is only interested in a "oh, who's doing what fun things with their toys?" way. |
| 04:34 | <@macdjord> | Software dev. |
