VK is a Russian Facebook equivalent, invented by Pavel Durov who himself was eventually cast out of Russia and went on to build and run Telegram. I think he's in France.
No, he ist in Dubai
Ah, the easiest way to know if someone is an asshole.

Oauth should become federated, just as email.
Then the browser should generate the buttons based on which oauth services you actually use.
Oauth should become federated, just as email.
Aren't you just describing OpenID at that point? Implementation and adoption has been uneven, but the standard complements OAuth.
The problem is the activitypub and Oauth are two very different ideas... one is so posts from one server show up on another and one is who are you?
How would you store and trust private keys?
I dislike sites like this, I usually click away or just don't sign up
Cos fuck you, that's why.
Whatever site that is, I dont need to be there.
Guess I’m not logging in
Because for the vast majority of people yet another password, or even yet another 2FA code is an anti-feature.
Collecting as much data they possibly can to increase the value of the data. Bottom line: more info=more money
They get less info… oauth is used do you can handle less customer data and so you don’t have to worry about leaking a bunch of usernames and passwords…
Right? It's demented!
Because we are employed developers and this is what the bosses wanted. There are lots of things I made that make me facepalm or I think is stupid but im a peon and my only other option is to find a different job. Where there will also be dumb shit I have to code for a paycheck.
Money.
Also it kinda depend on how much you trust the website security and how much precaution you have. For general public who don't really know how to protect themselves against hacking and databreach(those who might not know the existence of password manager), the option of letting a giant corpos handle the login is much better than to just blindly trust the website.
Also money.
Also the website might not want to build and maintain their own database for this(which cost money), so they outsource the login to other company.
And also money.
I want to login with my butthole print. Did you know that no butthole is the same?
Problem is with general cleanliness. Like the Japanese with their bidet's, they wouldn't have a problem signing in because the print is always a clean print.
There's also hemorrhoids and other temporary deformations of the butthole that take some time to repair. I mean with hemorrhoids you'll be waiting there for a week. But what if you just had a big poop. Well, it might help deter criminals trying to ping the machine too quickly.
