AFAIK there is zero reason, any standard U2F hardware key like a YubiKey should work.

Yeah, because everyone memes on Apple for removing shit then they do the same thing to save a buck.

Or if you want to selfhost, use Vaultwarden (compatible with Bitwarden official clients)

guess so it doesn’t collect water or rust?

Yes, FluffyChat wants ntfy but Element has their own background service in the F-Droid package. Still fits the bill of not using Google infrastructure.

push notifications also work degoogled on element and fluffychat, what do you mean?

Update: If anyone is curious, ultimately went with the Keychron V3-C1.

Yeah, I took a look at it myself, but I didn’t see it so I asked here if anybody has it/disassembled it to check what chip is in there.

Typing would suck even more, the advantage of e-ink shows if you have mostly static content, not dynamic.

Ah, valid point.

Or the Gemini PDA/Fxtec Pro1-X.
