if your site doesnt support https whats your agenda

Quiet public
@ipg there is no reason for a static site to support https
Quiet public

@zebo so ISPs and governments can't look at (and possibly prosecute for, given increasingly hostile governments) content that the user is reading

Quiet public
@ipg i dont care about my isp seeing what i do all my traffic goes through them anyway

@zebo cool that you personally have that privilege, i guess

Quiet public
@ipg https also breaks older devices which creates more ewaste
Quiet public

@zebo mbedtls can be ported to a reasonable number of older devices, and https cipher support is mostly up to the webmaster (at the expense of the security guarantees of the website)
and note how i never said Force https i said Support https

Quiet public
@ipg 90% of the time https is forced tls 1.2 or 3
Quiet public

@zebo damn that's crazy. tls 1.2 was standardised in like 2008 and support is in basically everything after 2010
mbedtls can be ported to platforms that don't (and if the platform is locked down, this is an argument against platform lockdown and deprecation with no user-controlled exit, not against https)

Quiet public
@ipg and what about things before 2010
Quiet public

@zebo port

Quiet public
@ipg and what if the platform doesnt support that
Quiet public
Quiet public
@ipg so if someone is using one of those platforms they should be forced to not have access?
Quiet public

@zebo does akkoma not support newlines didn't i say "i said Support and not Force" or are you deliberately misreading what i'm saying for the sake of going "well i think that because of my ipod shuffle HTTPS is devil worship"

Quiet public
@ipg its another example of web "standards" not actually being standard and just being whatever google thinks of that second
Quiet public

@zebo what the fuck does google have to do with this at all?????????
