alright, i'll take your point and say that Google is not a viable SSO provider. now what?
sure i could buy a custom domain and host an email server on it, but now i have to care about server maintenance, SSL, and paying yearly for the domain. but that doesn't mean i get to keep it forever! just as Google can, the hosting provider can block my account, or even go down itself. then what? i'd be in the same situation where i'm locked out.
or suppose i don't have money to pay for the domain (which is a rare possibility, but it is not impossible). now someone buys my domain, and registers an email with the same address as mine. now what? i'm screwed!
i agree that having only one centralized login method for all of one's accounts is bad, but this article doesn't provide a safe alternative.
i dislike AI-generated images as much as the next guy does.
but saying that "everyone hates AI images" is an exaggeration and outright false. we are a minority.
i will bring up tiktok, the "normie app". on there, an AI-generated series of videos (with a general quality as bad as you might imagine) gained lots of traction and, for one week, it became the fastest growing account. [0]
and "normies" liked it. i can tell you there was plenty of people genuinely watching that shitshow.
i was pretty confused until i realized this article is about the multiplayer version of this game, and not the solitaire version i've seen my whole life.
i like the concept, but the execution is flawed by design, as it basically allows someone to serve any content (including malware [0]) in whichever domain is being used (nowhr.xyz in this case).
[0] i'm using "malware" as a broad term, while mainly referring to phishing.
