  • If I had to pick between getting subjugated by brutal foreign invaders and being killed in a nuclear blast, the nukes look pretty attractive.

    But empirically, nukes don’t lead to nuclear war but to cold wars instead of hot (regular) wars. Ask the Ukrainians about that, bet they regret giving their nukes away. Nuclear disarmament would be nice, but what are the chances that USA, Russia and China give away their nukes and don’t just make more?

    I’d be more inclined to use 2FA if the second factor wasn’t usually a mobile phone, which can easily (much more easily than a laptop or desktop pc) be lost, be stolen or break, is harder to repair, and generally running software that is far more insecure than what is running on my PCs, especially if you get into the specifics of how that 2FA works - SMS isn’t secure, and authenticator apps generally require the official app store (Google or Apple), i.e. they don’t work well on something like LineageOS or GrapheneOS.

    You can probably use something like Yubikey or a more privacy-friendly authenticator app on Github, but many other services won’t give options like that.







  • Is it though? The whole “contoured torso” design is quite detrimental to protection, you want it bulging outward in a wide arc. And you don’t want your neck expossed like that, either. Though the person to the right of him with considerably less slutty armor has very similar design issues.
