I shouldn't have to say this in 2026, but if your site doesn't work on MacOS Safari, then you (or your AI slop machine) are doing it wrong.
Looking at you #IDMe doc site.
Don't know how y'all managed to have different console errors between Safari and Firefox. That's quite the achievement.

Now all that I just said standing I will say there are like 2 whole things this conman has improved, 1 is the passport renewal process and the 2nd is consolidating all the government logins to one IDMe page. They have it all separated out by function too. VA disability is separated from pension

Dear Dept of Defense;
First, I absolutely REFUSE to call you what that drunken frat boy decided your name was in his own headcanon.
Second, I also refuse to download another GD app to verify my identity through Okta when I was already verified through IDme.
Fuck you very much.

Everyone’s data is trash by the time we’re hitting the pine box, let’s be realistic.
That being said, data collection or no data collection I’ve been using accounts both public and private and so they can commo between using IDme through 4(?) administrations?
Is what it is tbh.
