To address the question seriously for a change, I think nukes are extremely unlikely because nations generally want to capture their enemies' people alive for their labor force (and also not annihilate claimable resources if they can help it).
I just prefer to use something recent if possible; Eternity was last updated in August versus Thunder, just this month, in F-Droid. It looks probably fine, though.
That can't be right because credit-freezing must be free by law. You can do it an infinite amount of times for free. I think the website may be misleading you into a different thing (it's either Experian or Equifax that is grotesquely adept at trying to get its customers to pay). Which bureau is it? I could try to get you the correct URL. Some of them really try to hide it. It's such a disgusting practice.
I actually still use Boost for Reddit because it's so incredible and unbeatable (especially for moderating), but I decided to lean more open-source otherwise.
Credit bureaus are certainly evil but modern life in the US still forces us to work with them, so you may as well register free online credentials with them all so you can check the records they have on you for accuracy. They actually do respond quite consistently fast. I once had a LendingClub thing listed in my history when I've never touched anything involving the company, and whichever-bureau-it-was (I can't remember any more) promptly removed it upon my informing them.
You are right that Molly would lag behind in security updates by one version every time, but Molly is currently the only way to get Signal on tablets/other Droids in one account, effectively, as far as I know.
When did it ever go cold? Russia's certainly bring addressed and is not leaving the spotlight any time soon.
