I low-key hope someone would fork it and make it live a life of its own.

I pay for my VPS and domain with Monero. It will never be as big as Visa, but it doesn't have to be - it has its niche.

And "Heavy Is Dead" gets age-restricted because Spy comically hangs himself :/

Just like I got DVDs as a child, my kid would get a hard drive with approved material.

The only acceptable use I have seen for myself are trading sites you log in through Steam - since their sole purpose is interacting with your Steam inventory.

ONLY if it's optional, like how sandboxed Google services are now. Although I would rather not have this present.

Unlimited SMS here are rare, and my carrier in particular does not have them at least on the lower-end plans. I rarely notice though.

Telegram is popular here, especially among youth - my university groupchats are there, for example. Whatsapp is still probably bigger though.

Unencrypted is not the thing that bothers me - after all, Telegram is so popular, so not like most people even care. What bothers me is that you still need to pay for each one! You have to edit the texts to fit into a tiny arbitrary character restriction or else you's be charged for a second message! Why is data do relatively cheap, but those messages are still overpriced?

Ah, thanks! I don't use passkeys myself yet, and I guess would be waiting longer - really don't want Play Services in any form)

Mostly wondering for KeepassXC, as the managers you mentioned are cloud.

To be fair, there are some services you can get with crypto (I have used those myself), and people (especially Monero community) are promoting a sorta-circular economy with it.

Have not tried passkeys on mobile, so wonder how it is on Graphene and other degoogled OSes...

To be fair, there is a "something you know" factor - the passphrase for the database containing the passkeys. But I kinda do wish they were more easily password-protected individually, like how you do with SSH keys. You can have a separate database for each passkey I guess... But yea, inconvenient.
