Came here to add Death Stranding, glad to see I wasn't alone in hating it.

I ran into this exclusivity thing and sent a message to the author. He promptly gave me a copy of his book (since he is prohibited from selling it to me). So I sent him a tip on ko-fi for the amount of the book.

No promises every author will do this, but it went pretty well for me.

We mock the people that named Mars after the god of war because it looked like blood, calling them ignorant and superstitious. But Mars is red because of the iron content, and so is blood. So really (piefed.social)

It's a hard expiration, it can hit while you are using a thing.

This whole reply strongly agrees with my own personal bias, but I wanted to ask the question just in case I'd talked myself into a position when really 20-minute windows was somehow psychologically better. I just couldn't fathom how, and glad to hear my initial "wtf" position seems to be the correct one.

Thanks for the breakout. It's pretty ridiculous, I'll see if I can take it up with my manager.

I checked. It's deliberate. And it is not inactivity, it is 20 minutes, full stop.

My company has an external auth provider for the whole organization, and MFA is required (push notification to a phone app). This all works well and I agree with it, BUT they have configured the credentials to expire in 20 minutes. In practice this means everyone in the company is typing their password and fiddling with their phone dozens of times per day to work with any application except for email (somehow it gets away with caching the credentials).

Timeouts for credentials are good, but does this aggressively low setting actually provide increased security?
