the people that say don’t use phone biometrics have no idea what they are talking about.
they are stored in a processed format on your SE and cannot be extracted, and the OS only sees “yes/no”
if there was anything hiding that stole your biometrics a phone reset won’t get rid of it due to the SE being a fully separate system from GOS

How facilitators work is clearly documented and it took me only a few minutes to find what it did.
There is no explanation I can find, except for not even slightly checking what is published or malice.
If anything, X402 is better for the average implementor.
The facilitator does not hold your funds and there is no hot wallet to operate, while in L402 your LN custody provider does.

My definition of bot spam is any bot that doesn’t follow these guidelines:
1. Don’t create more noise than necessary.
2. Do not interact unless explicitly authorized (such as by following WITH the user knowing, or explciitly tagged)
3. Minimize interaction scope if possible (untag irrelevant pubkeys)
4. Mark yourself as a bot and specify a human contact.

Worst case make your own package repositories, not that hard. The primary thing that annoys me with package managers is no namespacing.
A package repository can override any package name. Which could lead to conflicts on independent sources

Your proposal to slow down writing speed is too extreme I think, as I feel that the speed wouldn’t impact the memorability too much.
I even find that with some finickier pens, I spend more time trying to write the thing than actually processing it, and your experience becomes “how do I get this pen to work”
