If someone has the email account password your security is already fucked. If they don't then there's no way to pop your oauth unless the client is shit. If the client is shit you shouldn't give it your credentials.

SSO is not a security vuln.

Here is a short list of things that Play Services do:

  1. Scan for active malware
  2. Nearby Share
  3. App attestation (Required for banking apps)
  4. Encrypted backup of your data
  5. Autofill
  6. All push notifications
  7. Find my device
  8. Basic telemetry (talked about elsewhere in this thread but it's telling Google who you are and where you are)

Even if you remove all telemetry you'd need to have the services running 24/7 in the background maintaining a socket connection to push notification services.

Gmail account is firstname.lastname and neither of them are rare.

Even though I don't use Gmail anymore I keep that account alive.

OpenAI is working on LLMs. LLMs will never be AGI

Well the good news is: it's not agi, will never be agi and agi is a long way off.

The bad news is: Open AI doesn't publicly say this: they're just firing the safety team with no explanation.

That explains a persistent mystery from my childhood: why was the cheat code "Big Bertha" the one that made the catapults all throw cows instead of rocks in Age of Empires.

Now I know.

In this case when we're talking about "non-voter" it's about the uncommitted movement, not about the deliberately disenfranchised.

The Republican party is thrilled with the uncommitted movement and has done as much as possible to push for their success.

It's not that I disagree with the uncommitted movement in principle: I hope that their push brings about real change. They are useful to the Republican party nonetheless, and if key battleground states like Michigan are lost because of them it will be a major blow to any hope of incremental change.

The Democratic party has to be the big tent party because the Republicans are the party of narrow minded bigotry. That does mean that there will always be leftists dissatisfied with the DNC.

When that dissatisfaction leads to "cutting off your own nose to spite your face" behavior is when the leftist purity culture becomes a problem.
