Passkey is barely implemented, seriously we have GPG keys or ssh keys and big tech refuses to implement at least that. Instead they are pushing for their Product™ to sell.

Hardware solution could be nice but the market is stacked against any nice solution: I way a key I can backup, even emulate if I want too (having a purely digital copy). I don’t see the issue with ssh key in general.

Instead of contributing to (fascist) US companies I’d love to see people looking at alternative to the big companies we have right not.

We should look at manufacter are actually trying to be better, more considerate with people (all the people not just the west) and the environment.

In the tech space no one cares or no one dares to raise their voice against the big companies, their anti-consumer policies, their green-washing and definitely their genocidal fascist ideology.

Yes probably thinkpad are good laptops. If you’re on a budget just do whatever you can, if you buy System76 you are not “on a budget”.

2 companies I know of that seems to go on a better path than most I see in comments here are slimbook (https://slimbook.com/) and maybe Tuxedo (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/).

We should be better than this.

It is lacking the “money problem”: the high cost is adsorbed by big capitalist organizations (at the cost of the hardware price inflating) that hope to get everyone addicted/dependent on the tool to then surge the prices.

This is not open tech, this is not for everyone, this is not to make a better world. This is business.
