That's so cuuuuute

A teenager making a simple and cute calculator and deciding to share it with the world and the world takes that, people contribute, and project emerges

This is actually inspiring

I see your point, thanks.

On the other hand, who if not state could help Linux adoption? If such programs would become universal, students would train on Linux, and businesses would be compelled to adapt.

If you issue laptops, market share should not be your consideration except for availability of programs and tech support.

Linux has plenty of both, and the obvious advantage of being open source and transparent.

Btw, many governments are currently transitioning to Linux for that very reason.

You're right on that, but we can't expect everyone to act the same and ditch such apps all at once. So, it's very important to point the issue out and take action to stop it.

There's much more to company's popularity than just the product quality.

Google, along with some others, pays money for browser developers to be the default engine - so that people never bother to try something else and actually see how good or bad Google is compared to everything else.

Facebook (Meta) is known for predatory business practices like forcing startups to sell out or have their concept forcefully stolen and them destroyed.

Amazon dominates by plunging the prices of their in-house products below payback to drive the competition into bankruptcy, then acts as a monopoly, driving prices up.

There's plenty more such examples, but let me stop here for now. Giant corporations have powerful levers that are only available to them as they approach market dominance. And when they get 'em, fair play is over.

All jokes aside, I might imagine it wasn't all easy to do it correctly. Great job!

Sure, hardware keys are superior!

I'm only talking about best practtices when using TOTPs in particular.

Yep, and Vaultwarden too!

Though the most secure practice is to store them separately.
