techrights-sec[2]The core of the problem is that bytes were misused as being synonymous with Oct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]characters back in the day.  Now 20+ years later, we are still dealing withOct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]the cruft and legacy.Oct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]The good part in the TM work flow is that the problems have nearly all been Oct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]in the last step or very close to it.  Most importantly of all the data has Oct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]been getting into the database in the correct encoding.  So far.  Oct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]Not enough time is spent in most projects to remove or clean up old code.  Oct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]There are a lot of merits to even "just" updating to the current writing styleOct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]because old mistakes will surface through that process.  However, in theOct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]specific case of FF and TB you have the proble of it looking like Baker is outOct 27 15:32
techrights-sec[2]to slowly destroy the project from within on behalf of the "donor" GoogleOct 27 15:33
techrights-sec[2]Not just data loss but financial loss since HTML mail in general and web mailOct 27 15:33
techrights-sec[2]in particular make it not just feasible but easy to phish at the same timeOct 27 15:33
techrights-sec[2]it makes it all but impossible to avoid phishing other than by acting on Oct 27 15:33
techrights-sec[2]hunches or clues because all the real information is hidden. Beyond hiding,Oct 27 15:33
techrights-sec[2]your old friend javascript can be used to obfuscate the true destinationOct 27 15:33
techrights-sec[2]of various embedded links.  So "hovering" over them will give a false message.Oct 27 15:33
matteobinThat's sad, I really like mailing lists. :(Oct 27 15:35
techrights-sec[2]tbh, I was never a fanOct 27 15:38

schestowitz-TR2you can still use this channel with an old clunker from the 1980sOct 27 16:24
schestowitz-TR2and the site with 1990s browsersOct 27 16:24
matteobinIt's so refreshing to talk with people like you, really. It's hard to be the only "strange" IT guy.Oct 27 16:24

matteobinYou're right.Oct 27 16:26
schestowitz-TR2those who follow the herd out of insecurity are ill informedOct 27 16:26
schestowitz-TR2because they are ill-equipped to know the impactOct 27 16:26
