minus-squareEl BartocakelinkfedilinkEnglish17•2 years agoThat would be a plus for me, actually. I never liked fingerprint authentication.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoYou can choose not to use it even if Linux supports it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoThen I really don’t see how it’s a plus. Smaller kernel size? lol
minus-squareEl BartocakelinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoThe plus is that I don’t even need to think about it. My phone tries to trick me to enable fingerprint authentication every few months. My laptop? Perfection.
minus-squareroboticalinkfedilinkEnglish9•2 years agoHow is not having support for something a plus for you? I swear to god, some Linux users are so stuck up.

minus-squareEl BartocakelinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoSure, but that’s not the point of the conversation. The point is that some stranger is judging a whole community for the preference of one single person who may or may not belong to said community.
minus-squareEl BartocakelinkfedilinkEnglish15•edit-22 years agoWhere to start… My dumb TV doesn’t support smart features. A plus. My coffee maker doesn’t support wifi. A plus. My games don’t support in-app purchases. A plus. My windows 10 laptop (did you read that?! Whaaat, I’m not a Linux user???!!!) doesn’t support Windows 11. Major plus. My MacBook’s OS version (no way!!!) doesn’t support unnecessary FaceTime features. A plus.
minus-square@[email protected]cakelinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoWhat TV did you get that doesn’t have smart features? I looked, but all the ones I could find were 1080p, no HDR, and either tiny or made for commercial/industrial installation.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years ago“what, you dont want to use the new door lock made from soggy white bread? You deadbolt losers are so stuck up”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•2 years agoSo YES, from someone who was asked to do fingerprint authentication in a sensitive environment (and had to refuse, even to the salespeople pested me)

Yup. I know that.

You could just disable fingerprint login, though.
Sure, but that’s not the point of the conversation. The point is that some stranger is judging a whole community for the preference of one single person who may or may not belong to said community.
