It'd be nice if government agencies moved to self-hosting their own official social media systems by way of interoperable web standards (ActivityPub for example).

#43Isn't the automatic reaction of a Windows desktop/laptop user to lock their workstation (Ctrl-Alt-Del, Enter, Enter) if they leave for any reason? Edit: that was a great Chaos Monkey to reiterate security hygiene. Or was it a Mini Chaos Monkey? https://netflix.github.io/chaosmonkey/
I do that "in the office" but at home I usually leave my PC unlocked if I'm stepping away and trust my family not to mess around with my computer. It'll lock in a few minutes by itself anyways. While I probably would be more careful with younger children around I could easily see this happening for someone working from home. Also - in the office if you leave your computer unlocked you may find that you have emailed t…
I guess it's like outlet protections for little ones who don't know any better, or mischievous little devils.
Hahah, nice! That's an awesome office. :D

That is honestly quite funny. I just can't imagine being that delusional in real life. What a Q believer's day-to-day life must look like is a wonder to me.

>Isn't the automatic reaction of a Windows desktop/laptop user to lock their workstation Having attempted to encourage this as a habit for my users for about a year, and not a single one doing it, I've had to come up with other solutions that takes it out of their hands. (It's not business-critical for us, however we try to encourage good security habits all around). So no, I don't think it is an automatic reaction f…

The IT department at my former employer tried this out company-wide and it almost led to them getting attacked physically. When every simple distraction leads to you getting locked out of the desktop (phonecall, boss or coworker having a question) it builds frustration quickly. Pair this with frequently changing (company-mandated) complex passwords and permanent lockut after a few mistypes and you have a recipe for disaster: Even some of my technologically less-inclined co-workers researched how to bypass Windows security with hacking tools.

Does this stop their kids from typing on their keyboard?

I think the problem there is the password policies more than the screen-locking policy. The locking policy is just shining a spotlight on the password policy issues.
