lost my usb key; found it in the trash. must have swept it up with other debris when I cleaned my desk. oops
now where did I put my backup key and did I add it to enough things. well, I've been pretty diligent about putting 2fa recovery codes into bitwarden (yes that puts the 2nd factor next to the 1st factor but I don't have a better answer yet)
oh, bitwarden now requires 2fa, lemme make sure I have a backup key for that
... this is such a hassle. too bad it's …

And the answer will be "fine" as long as "the military" is thought of as a block that is treated as an enemy of the left. In the Russian case, leftists intentionally joined the military to radicalize units. In the German case, conscription meant that leftists ended up in the military radicalizing people.
The US is different, intentionally. Vietnam changed a lot. While some people resisted the draft, others rolled hand grenades into their officers' tents. Fragging commanders was a huge problem. After the end of the war, the US military adapted by ending the draft.

The US military works hard to brain wash recruits, yes. There are *a lot* of controls in place to minimize the probability of the type of revolt that has been part of other revolutions. One of those is "merit based" promotion. But, as we know from the Vietnam War, evrn that breaks down.
And it's easy to forget, or ignore, but the military *does* sometimes radicalize people or people radicalize themselves in response to their experiences in service. Smedley Butler is perhaps one of the more interesting examples, but there have been plenty. Aaron Bushnell should be at the top of your mind, as should Chelsea Manning (and perhaps others like Reality Winner).
Lots of people join the military for reasons other than patriotism, and some of those who join because of patriotism see what the US really is as part of their service. Support our vet comrades. Support those doing the work of trying to radicalize service members. Keep an open mind when talking to folks in the military today. Welcome comrades who are still in the military and have come to realize what's happened. And, most importantly, listen to those who have served to understand other things you can do to support service members who are in the process of rejecting their indoctrination.

I opened my Flickr app on Android and noticed that auto-upload had stopped. When going to the settings I noticed I was unable to re-enable auto uploader. I reported a problem, got an answer within the hour, provided some more information and five minutes later the latest update was pulled. I was told to remove the app and yes re-installing the app gave me the previous version. And i was able to back up my photos again. I'd say, that was fast.
Anyone out there using flickr with auto-uploader enabled, check your settings, it might have stopped anywhere in july.
