It’s helpful to put this issue into perspective. But dismissing issues as not worth caring about on the grounds that there exist larger problems is fallacious and, to me, quite a dangerous way to live life.
“Why worry about your town’s water quality when some countries don’t have access to clean water?”
“Why go to the dentist for a cavity when some people have no teeth?“
“Why campaign for animal rights when there are some many human rights abuses going on?”
In principal, neither do I. What I take issue with is crafting elaborate but completely false bios to make these sound like real artists. That seems slimy to me.
This is a bit of a tangent, but Authy allows recovery of an account without access to either the original device or the original phone number. Does anyone know what actually happens when you go through this flow?
It says they may perform "additional security checks" in the help but what are they? The wooliness of this makes me very nervous. (I don't use Authy fwiw)
