This is much, much simpler than you think it is. Passkeys are just passwords that require a password manager.

This is not true. There are device bound passkeys where the private key is stored in a HSM (TPM2.0, Android SE, or apple SE) instead of a hosted service (iCloud, Bitwarden.com). You can just add multiple Passkeys to a single site to have another backup device should your other one be unavailable.

Might as well just use the term "Android distr(o|ibution)" whenever talking about it. I think its also more self-explanatory vs "Android ROM" if you never heard of them before.

LineageOS has no AVB support at all unfortunately and most devices don't allow using verified boot with custom keys anyways. With GrapheneOS they can just add GrapheneOS public keys (https://grapheneos.org/attestation.json).

For LOS Roblox would have to disable hardware attestation completely, which means you can easily just add extra modules such as a setuid binary which makes cheating easy (at least on the client side, you'd have to rely completely on server side anti cheating)

Proprietary file formats are an industry standard. It is the lowest resistance way to deliver features

Maybe, but I still disagree.

What "game-changing" features are missing from document file formats (such as word processing documents or spreadsheets)?

I'd prefer that format being an open standard with wide compatibility over those new features.

What makes Tangled different from other forges like Forgejo/Codeberg is that its built around the ATProto federation protocol

that organizations are trying to force you to have a "audited" phone to interact with them. (I.e. events, businesses, etc)

Even worse, GOVERNMENTS do that. EU Governments basically forcing you to give Google (via the Google Mobile Services rootkit) or Apple (and via the cloud act also the Trump Admin) access to your entire phone (including all of your saved personal data) to use the govt eID system...

Whats always annoying is by using nested 4-port hub chips inside a hub with more than 4 ports you get very easily to the max nested depth limit (5). I have a monitor kvm switch that is also an usb hub. It itself only has two ports. Two usb hubs (that are internally nested) are plugged into those ports that I have at the back of my desk where all the HID are plugged in, but I also have a usb hub on the front of my desk so I can easily hotplugmy joysticks, yubikeys and usb flash drives.

Apparently that use case is very complicated with USB even in modern times :(
