Notices by A Republic, while we kept it (arensb@mastodon.social)

@inthehands Upon reflection, the press has several jobs: tell us what's new, and help us understand what's going on.
In the first role, it's okay to not put everything TFG says on the front page. But in the second role, they should keep his horribleness front and center, because that's crucial to understanding what a 2nd Trump presidency would be like.

@feditips @jztusk @guitargabe @paigesaunders Yes. Though I suspect it's not at easy as flicking a switch, and there'd be warning signs that people could use to jump ship while it's still easy.

@feditips @jztusk @guitargabe @paigesaunders Sure. Though the danger of that is minimized by how easy it is to switch to a different server.

@Gargron That looks like a screenshot from a video game.

@silverwizard I'm thinking of sites like https://accounts.google.com/ : there's no password field, and no mention of SSO or Enterprise login. You enter your username/email address, the username field disappears, and a password field, still on google.com, appears.

I've been changing all my passwords because of a data breach, and I've run into a *lot* of sites doing this.

@silverwizard If that's what they're doing, the UI is broken: if I'm logging in to service.com as arensb@company.com, then the service.com login screen should redirect me to a company.com page so I know I'm not giving my credentials to the wrong site.

But I've also seen this antipattern often enough with non-SSO sites that I think it's just fashionable idiocy.

Who the hell decided that it would be a good idea to prompt for username and password on different screens? Or is this one of those things that someone tried out to be different, and everyone else mistook different for cool?
