From the post:

>i have a friend — she's an old lady born and raised here in the western north carolina mountains. she hates computers, yes, but she's been willing to learn a lot and quickly after joining a big signal group chat that our shared local community uses to keep in touch. aside from memeing with the best of them in the group chat, she also maintains a large fish pond outside the house she built herself. this despite being in her 70s. she's an inspiration. she has a landline. it works great, and the landline phone hardware works great with her hearing aids. she's had it for years. spectrum has a monoply in our area so the landline and her cable internet service is with spectrum.

it was never about security

it is a way to deny service at will

you cannot use service because.... you did not get the SMS, why ? who knows....

I have a tower repeater, even only being several miles from a tower I'm down in a valley and the mountains tend to eat wireless signals.

Fuck 2FA. I have a username and password and that is good enough.
