One of these (lines) is not like the others
Yes, very good point. Selection bias will likely skew any twitter “poll” because the algorithms feed the polls only to what the algorithm believes is the target audience. It’s perpetuating polarization and even extremism because people don’t see rational opposing views that are part of a healthy conversation.
(Edit: I should say however that this is regardless horrifying)
This poll is likely very skewed because anyone who bothers to respond is probably doing so because they have a (hate) agenda. The text of the first question could probably have been replaced with “I want to say I am a christian fascist without saying it out loud” and have the same outcome.
This is related to the diminishing energy returns on energy invested (see ERoEI). It’s a measure of how much energy it takes (say 1 barrel of oil) to extract a certain amount of energy (also say 1 barrel of oil). When the first barrels of oil were extracted long ago the ERoEI was somewhere around 100, meaning you only needed to use one barrel of oil to extract 100 barrels. Last I heard, it was down to 10. If that reaches 1 then it’s basically game over for oil. There is still lots of oil far underground/undersea but it costs too much to extract.
Yes, I have two as well (Yubikey). My passwords are stored in a bitwarden vault but having the 2fa keys on the same device as the vault seemed sketchy to me. I now use the hardware authentication for whatever sites support it (not as many as I like support it) and otherwise store the TOTP keys on the Yubikey and use the Yubico Authenticator for those that don’t support hardware authentication.
Looks like you’re heading in a great direction
