Is this a private company?

True... but a majority don't care. And it works.

As always you are not compelled to that. Lets others enjoy the convenience of passkey.

Many people in hn are involved in such jobs. Not sure they would agree.

But I sincerely hope things like muse will force public and unethical programmers to change.

totally...

Funnily what I found was to install 1.1.1.1 from cloudflare. Enable that. PipePipe works perfectly.

when you use adb - no need to wait for 24hours. Just use android studio or adb install

Are you sure? Snapdragon laptops have worst sales in Windows world. Or are you a MS ARM guy?

A lot of people do see the graphs. But reality is - unless they cooperate with lkml and merge it there is no point. Ubuntu has the only beta ISO for it - works not very good for the Lenovo. Qualcomm does not provide any support. Then people won't buy.

> I hope people remember this when advocating for chromium. Just because it is open source doesn't mean they don't control it. We need to start the long process of hard forking now or turn to alternatives like Firefox as a new foundation.

This is correct but rarely in practiced.

During firefox DRM/HTML5 issue, I know many people from Free software foundation Europe absolutely telling in their blogs, talks etc please stop Mozilla from implementing this DRM or that... but finally when I spoke to these in private they told --- ya, whatever - I need to see this series in netflix etc- so I have another device with chrome etc to watch it. (Indeed Firefox did implement it)

This behavior is the reason average Joe gives up...

My actual experience is people with passkey are fine. No more account take over. Mote over they like frictionless login.

Yes there are few that used bitwarden and lost everything as their sync using syncthing failed.

Or they have a laptop or tablet - even the cheapest one that has logged into Google or Apple. That way they can recover.

this is ridiculous. I don't even have a bubble device. Run lineageos in a decent 2020 device moto G32 for €100.

Yes, you can afford to host everything locally. Not everyone can.

You are exaggerating. If the loss or lockdown is so bad then many would have stopped using any of icloud or google equivalent. People are able to depend on it. People are able to repair and use phones even when it falls into abyss.

At the same time, I know so many people believing DIY raspberrypi based NAS and losing lots of data (thankfully they had cloud backups).

Not everyone has access to server grade hardware.
