Hold your horses. You want someone to build a service where you'd register, with a new separate set of credentials, so that you'd synchronize your email password between devices?

Well, I have to admit that this idea of having a password synchronize yourself another password becomes much more practical if you tweak it just a little bit and manage all your passwords with just one. In fact, Mozilla has one. It's called Firefox Sync. I'd still recommend to use a real password manager like pass and either git or syncthing for synchronizing the underlying data.

I hope that's a sound of you GTFOing out of the USA to pretty much anywhere else, where Samsungs have and always had unlocked bootloaders. =)

The moment you replace it. You get to keep the awesome hardware.

Oh yes, Samsung's software always needs replacing, but it's easier to install better software on a Samsung than wait for better hardware in a Pixel. Where's the Pixel with a stylus? That's a 2011 Samsung feature. 4K video output? My 2019 Samsung can drive 4K. Meanwhile Pixel owners are squealing they got any video output last year, another feature coming 13 years late. And of course Auracast will make Samsung's dual Bluetooth output obsolete quicker than Pixel engineers would recognize that people sometimes listen to things together.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to daily-drive a Pixel. GrapheneOS sounds nice and the KVM is something I'd love to play with. But for decades I've watched Pixels hardware to improve while Samsung lost features, hoping Pixels will catch up. If it wasn't for Folds, they'd be only another decade away from hardware feature parity with 2011 Samsungs, but now there are Folds and here we go again.

Those Zebras that are, like, 1/8 of the volume of what the median pen in this thread is gonna be. I'm not here to pinch hoses 5x their cartridge diameter, half of their length hanging out for nothing, I'm just trying to write. Any non-zero thickness works for that.

The ahem would Thunderbird Sync do, LOL.

Many, but not all. There are authoritarian states and dictatorships on both ends of the colonialism export/import spectrum, small and large. But yeah, for a while "The West" has been... expansive.

Capitalism and oligarchy would be a shitton of progress for religious autocracies, covert monarchies, unapologetic monarchies and dictatorships. Those dozens of counterexamples countries for which they'd mean a regress are statistical outliers and shouldn't be counted.

If the parents were more responsible, they might've been in poverty anyway. But they wouldnt've been parents.

So that'd place capitalism, oligarchy and democracy left for the most of the globe?

Can you run your code on it?

I hope the companion app will be Gadgetbridge.
