You’re not wrong either, I just think we are talking about two very different kinds of user here, and they have different levels of challenge and convenience to balance. I’m not even talking about myself: I moved everything to analog, but not my password manager - I use a password manager like yourself, a 2FA app and a physical USB key.

if you don’t mind carrying it around with you everywhere

I doubt the target demographic for a paper password notebook is logging into their accounts everywhere, as if that’s some common occurrence.

and hoping it doesn’t rain

Ah yes, famously, before the invention of laptops universities and schools didn’t work on every single rainy day, because paper notebooks and books are impossible to keep dry. As a matter of fact, the UK never had an educational system before the digital age for this very reason, it’s so sad.

You can’t store your passkeys or TOTP in your notebook either.

You shouldn’t store 2FA and recovery codes on your password manager. They offer the feature as a competitive selling point, but the entire point of having 2FA is avoiding single point of failures.

Neither did my laptop, desktop, or phone. I use Linux and GrapheneOS

GrapheneOS is a significantly more complicated and less accessible option for most users compared to a simple paper notebook, which is the context of this post.

But if you want to go this deep, then yes, maybe your phone using your custom OS never introduced Gemini or Copilot without your will. It is however running a Qualcomm modem firmware you can’t control and is phoning home, regardless of your GrapheneOS settings, with your GPS coordinates and other data you can’t read, at any time. Don’t worry, with tech we can always find a malicious feature that works against the user, regardless of how deep you want to dive.

I’m going back to paper for most things and I don’t know man, I think it’s more user friendly given the current tech landscape. My paper notebook never changed the interface to add a huge Copilot button.

How things are made matter just as much as the thing itself. People who can’t understand this simple fact are half the reason our environment is being destroyed.

If the end result is all that matters, there are a ton of unimaginable horrors that could be done.

I know it’s a joke, but that’s almost certainly not going to be the case. Pathogenic bacteria have fundamentally different metabolism and genes.

What is more likely is either: ecological imbalance or the bacteria only metabolises the harmful chemicals under extreme deprivation of other carbon sources, which is never realistic, so they never do

Police are not the brightest in any society.

It’s a literal job requirement. If you’re smart, you’re not going to blindly follow orders. Police cognitive testing literally discards candidates that perform well in intellectual tasks. This is not a conspiracy or a joke, it’s how police works.
