Mika<p>For wtv reason, messing around with the 'Unlock with Biometrics' option for a vault on the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Bitwarden" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bitwarden</a> app on <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Android" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a><span> was able to fuck with all configured/saved biometrics authentication on the phone/system level.<br><br>Unlike </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Apple" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a>'s <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/iOS" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iOS</a>, Android couldn't do basic shit like enforcing a common share sheet or photo/media picker across the entire system/all apps, or offer basic functionality like a native weather app, even a TODO app is a pretty new addition after all these decades somehow, Apple's Notes app keeps introducing hilariously unnecessary but powerful new features and Google's somehow couldn't even support <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Markdown" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Markdown</a>, you couldn't do apparently "advanced", "power user" functionality either like setting up multiple lock screens or mounting a remote share in the native Files app despite being the more 'customisable' OS, and you couldn't completely uninstall/remove something like 90% of <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Google" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> apps from your phone or install PWAs using any apps other than <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Chrome" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Chrome</a><span> despite supposedly being the more 'open' OS, when you could do all these on iOS.<br><br>...and yet... toggling the option to use/not use biometrics on a completely unrelated app i.e. Bitwarden has somehow managed to fuck biometric authentication on a whole system level? I swear Android is only meant for kids, 'cept not either cos Google loves setting non-privacy preserving settings as defaults </span><b>AND</b> in cases where they're not the default, constantly bug you to do so while sneakily already toggling said setting for you in their own <i>scummy</i> favour i.e. literally every single time you launch the <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/GooglePhotos" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GooglePhotos</a><span> app, and I've seen plenty of people complain that they 'never' turned on the option to sync to Google Photos and yet their photos have all been uploaded to their servers, why? Well bcos of this shit I'd just described - people, kids and elderlies esp, would almost def 'dismiss' these scammy, buggy prompts by unknowingly say, 'OK'.<br><br>I shit on Apple a lot, and still do, but thank god Android's not the only fucking option cos while Google's at least just as evil as Apple, one clearly is more competent and less blatant in their evilness (for better or worse) than the other.</span></p>
