  • Nice idea in theory . . . but here in the UK, increasingly customers are being left with little other choice. Between banking apps using push messages to verify credit/debit card transactions, closing of physical branches and requiring authentication via the app to log into the website . . . not using their app is becoming more and more difficult every day.

  • I ran various custom ROM's for years on a FairPhone3+. It was great right up until the day all my banking apps stopped working. Banking app incompatibility is NOT the fault of GrapheneOS (or any other custom ROM) dev's at all . . . but IMO this is the real problem today with any alternative mobile OS. Privacy vs. banking convenience. And yes, YMMV as some of them do work . . and mine did as well . . right up until the day they didn't.

  • THIS is the answer. No ads are played on my front drive. Ever.

  • FYI . . . PocketBook eReaders were founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, now headquartered Switzerland. Also their eReaders are all based on a Yocto linux build.

  • If you are in the UK or EU there is an option . . curve pay (www.curve.com). I run it with a debit card on my FairPhone 3+ using /e/ with MicroG. Works perfectly for tap and pay.

  • In the age of a 1TB SSD costing $50 . . . frankly who cares. Flatpak's are the easiest to deploy Linux packages . . . a perfect pairing for Mint - an OS designed to "just work".

  • Was there no window nearby??

  • Reddit @lemmy.world

    Guardian Headline: Reddit overtakes TicTok as "users seek out human-generated content" . . wtf?

  • Second vote for Pinta. About the closest thing to paint.net there is for a Linux desktop . . .

  • There is a word for the future you are describing: exterminism.

    Sadly the world appears to be heading that way. This is the most bleak future described in one of my favorite books- Four Futures:Life After Capitalism

    It's a quick read . .and highly recommended. https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/59-four-futures

  • I was a batch 2 owner of the FairPhone 1, the FairPhone 2, the FairPhone 3+ . . . and just a month ago upgraded to the new FairPhone 6. And a guy who absolutely loathes Bluetooth earbuds. Yet I don't miss the 3.5mm jack for a simple reason . . . wired USB-C earbuds are a thing. I picked up a cheap set from JBL and never thought about the 3.5mm jack again.

    Yes, I agree . . . they could have/should have stuck with it. But honestly . . it's no huge loss.

  • The Leapmoter T03 and Dacia Spring Electric 45 are both £14,995. And the Citroën Ami is only £7,695. 4 of the 5 cheapest new cars for sale today in the UK are EV's.

  • Translation: Imagine if the world's lingua franca wasn't English but Mandarin.

  • I run a FairPhone 3+ with /e/ OS and MicroG. CurvePay (https://www.curve.com/) runs perfectly and supports tap and pay.

  • Like many others, my journey was Digg --> Reddit --> Lemmy.

    Hopefully the federated design of Lemmy means I never have to update the graphic above.

  • It appears you are confusing moral absolutism with moral universalism. I stand by what I wrote.
