Went to comment on

mccue.dev/pages/3-11-25-life-a

which backs commenting using "Utterances" (similar to Disqus) which uses GitHub as an auth source. Alight, I'm fine with distributed identity verification. Let's investigate…so what permissions does it want?

• Verify my my GitHub identity👍

• Know what resources I can access? Kinda sus, but meh 🤨

• Act on my behalf?! aw no. nope. nopity-nope-nope-no. 🙅

Screengrab of GitHub conveying the permissions "utterances" requested, listing "Verify your GitHub Identity", "Know which resources you can access", and "Act on your behalf" with buttons for "Cancel" and "Authorize Utterances"
