That is interesting but it looks pretty biased. Any other sources?

  Which tweet seems biased?

    All of them? The whole profile seems pretty much anti-coup.

      Would you expect any sane person to celebrate another coup from a military junta that has a history of killing whole villages and skinning people alive?

        You're not dismissing bias, you're just saying why bias is OK.

        Bias means having any morality or principles?

It's interesting that they say they've been logged out of Signal/Telegram and can't log back in due to being unable to receive a confirmation code as the cell services have been shut down. This type of thing seems to be happening more and more frequently. It is sad to see that there's not more of an effort to build (decentralized) communication technology independent from government/private infrastructure. I think we have the knowledge and affordable technology available to create something ripe for mass-adoption but there doesn't seem to be a real concentrated effort. The writings are on the wall and if it ever happens to us, nobody can act surprised.

  SMS for 2fa has always been a terrible idea. Use TOTP.

    In my experience, SMS does suck for 2FA. I found a new kind of suck on Friday. I tried logging into Coinbase on Friday for the first time in a while, and the 2FA wasn't working. I had been using Authy, and it turns out that Coinbase no longer supports Authy. It took me a moment to figure out why Authy was giving me a 7 digit code to verify 2FA, but Coinbase would only accept 6 digits. Fortunately I was able to recover my account by reverifying my ID, but it was super annoying.

  > My WhatsApp is working though Very interesting. Is that possibly because the military can read WhatsApp messages?
