you know, here in ZA (and across Africa) services got past the “your phone number is your security layer” thing in the early 10s because we had fraud and related issues way back
but no, the US is insistent that they have to retread that path and learn those lessons over. can’t go and learn from an african country, that wouldn’t be fitting of ~~an imperial hellhole~~ A First World Country
why no, I’m not salty about services making me have worse security settings at all, why do you ask…
You'd be surprised, but many countries with much lower GDP/capita have far more developed/sophisticated ICT services than the US, not to mention far more competition.
This is not just my personal view, I've had Americans (who have travelled the world) mention this as well.
I wouldn't be :) have visited many of them, and worked in a fair couple too
what was shocking (on my first visit there) is how absolutely fucking antiquated US infra is across multiple dimensions. not shocking these days, I now understand so many of the reasons for it
that understanding also makes so much of what comes out of the US (and its weird obsessions with specific non-solutions) make a lot more sense
