    I’m not eating bugs so billionaires can have more food

    I’m not living in a pod so billionaires can have more houses

    I’m not drinking my own piss so billionaires can have more water

    I’m not getting rid of my gas powered lawn mower or my gas and diesel cars to “save the planet” while billionaires fly around in private jets multiple times a day

    I’m not going to use digital currency or a digital ID so that I’m protected from myself.

    I’m not putting a chip in my brain, I’m not wearing mind-reading headphones.

    Billionaires already have more than enough money and resources for 1000 of each of their lifetimes.

      I am so fucking tired of entering a password, then a code I got by by text, so I can set up an authentication app and register my physical auth key. Why can’t I just use a different strong password for each service, same as I have for the last 30 years without getting hacked.

      You should be allowed to opt out of this bullshit if your password entropy is high enough.

        The point of 2FA isn’t that if your password is weak it saves you. The point is if your password gets leaked somehow (you accidentally enter it on a fake site, the site gets compromised, someone looks over your shoulder), they still can’t enter without the 2FA. I hate SMS 2FA (it’s not even secure) and sites that make you go through 3 steps for some reason, but the 6 digit code ones really aren’t that big of a deal, you just whip out your phone and open an app.

          Until you’re in tough times financially and your phone company cuts you off, permanently locking you out of every account with SMS 2FA! This actually happened to me, and there was nothing I could do about it, unlike phishing and shoulder surfing, which are easily within my power to prevent.
