@DerpyPlayz18 They are not instant. I also don’t feel comfortable giving my biometric data to some shady company just so I can unlock my phone.

@ijeff I’m never going to use passkeys because they require to have a lockscreen on the device, and I don’t have one.

You might think “Isn’t that kinda dangerous?”

And I say: My devices are never left unattended, so a lockscreen is just an obstacle to get back where I was. Honestly, try disabling your lockscreen. The fact that you can press one button and be right where you left off is priceless.

So, screw passkeys and their stupid rules.

@Sentientted @CookieJarObserver The only gripe I have with the Pixel (4a in my case) is that the file system is so locked down, but that’s just a modern Android thing. I wish I was able to change the default search engine but eh, can’t complain.

I don’t have a Pinephone personally, but #postmarketOS has come a long way and supposedly runs very well on recent hardware. Give it another 1-2 years and it will be rock solid for daily use.

@aksdb @neon_arch Oh yes! I used SearXNG and it was quite slow.

@stappern @Talignoram6571 It’s a difficult question. I’m a game developer. We estimate that about 25% of all active copies are pirated.

If all pirated copies would just disappear, would those people go buy the game? I don’t think so. They would just stop playing. They don’t care about the game enough to spend money, or they really just cannot afford it.

But you could argue that more people are playing the game, and they might buy a sequel in the future.

So, do we loose money? Yes, a little.
