GeneralCorrection: a demon named Giscus has infested GitHub posing as a discussion forum manager Pin

further forensics as to why I could not get access to post a comment on a .com website blog when GitHub/Giscus did its unexpected two-step hypnotic flipparoo ...

0) note I have a GitHub account. I can log-in, but do have to get an email sent and enter an access code. I consider this intrusive since I only want read-only access to content.

1) the blog author is using the Giscus demon for comments

2) the demon is using the most extreme form of OAuth to try and get a claw into my universe.

3) I use MS and Google, and other sites that use OAuth: never seen a log-in dialogue that uses "act on your behalf" as a permission you must grant.

I retract any perhaps defamatory remarks about GitHub in my precious message.

The web, and life, are, after all, as Ahura-Mazda said, a constant war between good and evil, light and dark. And, perhaps we are, as the Vedic sages said, in the final phase of the cosmic cycle, the Kali Yuga, the age of darkness just prior to apocalypse,

If I could, I would offer magical help to GitHub, but, I shave with Occam's Razor, and the one shaman/sorcerer I knew here in Thailand is now fully booked with hi-so clients from all over who give hin cars, and tv's, and gold jewelry ... out of my league.
