It’s fun to ride motorcycles though.

Your go to a third party web site. They send you to your OAuth provider, like cloudflare. Cloudflare asks you to login if you’re not logged in, then asks if you want to give that party certain permissions. You say yes or no and then click approve and then you get redirected back to the third party site. They get a secure token and can use that to access the services with permissions you approved. If you don’t trust the third party then don’t approve it.

It is like an API key but you never have to touch it. The third party can encrypt it and store it securely and it never has to be copied and pasted. You can use this on backend services that need to access things too. I recently wrote an OAuth client for MCP servers for something I’m building (not gonna advertise here because that’s rude) and it’s very nice once you read the spec.

Sorry if I was rude earlier but saying OAuth is some security flaw made me think that you didn’t understand what it was about; it’s just a way to grant permissions to a third party you trust. If you do then I’m curious why you think it’s flawed.

I’m respect your wishes but you can’t say you have told me anything if I didn’t see it here, sorry Dan but that’s only fair since there’s no way for me to see your message unless I randomly go back.

If you want to ensure people see these messages, then that’s a feature you’ll need to add. I’m fine with you using the email on my account for this purpose, too, but I’m not fine with getting a single message from you here and you expecting me to have seen anything else you’ve said in the past. As far as I’m concerned this is the first I’ve seen you ask me about this.

Also if people were downvoting my comments it’d be different but it’s just you for a frw recent ones down modding then, because before you get here they were up or even. Moderators should focus on those truly displaying bad behavior, I’m just swearing and saying relevant things.

I have a very long history of good comments here, arguing otherwise seems suspect, honestly.

I’ll back off like you say but I don’t agree at all. I’ve read the guidelines and tend to follow them.

Edit: I see like 3-4 questionable comments from me, two of who’ve are barely questionable. I get what you’re saying about the language but it’s really amazing you’ve targeted me here today, this us such low hanging fruit here, don’t you have better things to deal with? I’ll write better comments but I’m just really annoyed at your characterization of my behavior, it is very unfair in my eyes. I’ve done very good comments for ages and emotional language like this is rare for me. I expect better from mods here.

Frankly, being able to buy drugs and alcohol online is probably a mistake, too.
