I hate that people allow their HWWs to auto generate a seed for them.

I wish that wasn't so easily defaulted on when using all these devices.

It's shortsighted & takes away all education in a burgeoning field where users are storing large sums of life changing money.

The motivation to understand is there, we should be pouring fuel on that 🔥.

even SeedSigner has this feature.

I'm also not sure whether generating the seed yourself is the right way for everyone

but i would always prefer this approach over/to the dice:

When I set up my seedsigner there wasn't an auto generate option 🤔 or maybe my memory just isn't what it used to be 😅🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess the dice roll is just a manual version of auto generate, but then so would be picking words from a pile...?

I understand that as human beings we are generally terrible at generating entropy with our own minds.

then i misunderstood you. seedsigner does not force you into a generation workflow

Why would you prefer the entropy pills as opposed to dice rolls?

More understanding, less room for error, actually more random

Auto generate: HWW uses random number generator

Dice: HWW uses each roll to then use the random generator

Beauty of the SeedSigner is it allows you to generate a quick seed using the camera to generate random pixels to pull the entropy/randomness from.

Insane feature that doesn't get spoken about enough, it obsoleted the tedious dice rolls IMHO.
