The only alternative they offer is SMS-based 2FA which, unsurprisingly, often has an additional cost.
- Lenovo laptops with Fedora preinstalled[1]
- Clevo and its HW customers: System76 and Tuxedo being the most notable ones (I think)
- Purism Librem 14
- Framework modular laptop[2]
I guess banks suck in my country.
In mine too, however...
Don't banks in Sweden require a mobile app for 2FA?
One example to rule them all? Most banking apps refuse to start if you don't have GApps (i.e. SafetyNet). And no, microG does not count as solution.
Why banking apps as example? Because in the EU they are required after the PSD2 directive mandated "strong" auth requirements.
That said, I wouldn't bet on it.
Also, F-droid does not require root.
Consumption feeds production.
Gmail is much faster, I guess because it's native.
For me it seems impossible to be productive without the ecosystem of extensions VSCode provides.
I am intrigued by the power of modal editing, but going all-in vim seems a step back with regard do "modern" development workflows.
In vim it appears you have to configure every piece of it from scratch, while in VSCode if you pick a new language it's usually enough to install an extension and you're good to go.
For example, if you want to keep track of your whole Firefox profile's directory (without bothering adding/committing single files), in stow it's as simple as symlinking ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile_dir>.
For programs whose configuration you know intimately this is not a problem (e.g. for bash, we all know we probably just need .bashrc), but not all programs rely on a single flat configuration file.
There's plenty of exercises there.
Anecdotally, most people I know didn't even know that WhatsApp Web was a thing until I set it up in their computers.
Maybe most users are fine with just their smartphones, so this makes me wonder if it's really that important to compete.
That said, as a power user I agree with your points.
