This is why I just have a doorbell with just a speaker and a fish eye lens in my door.

My company gave me a ThinkPad with Ubuntu preinstalled.

Don’t. SEPA is the go-to here. And Curve exists if you don’t like the Apple or Google/you’re on GrapheneOS.

Some terminals even let you pay by square here.

Thank god I am not American.

Just switch to Pixel. I’ve got mine (9a) for around 500€.

The carrier has to support it which is a red flag for me since they have to archive metadata and the contents.

This’ll be a hot take but anything based on Signal’s protocol (including WhatsApp) is better than RCS in all ways.

I tried bitwarden wasn’t good cuz on mobile I had to reenter master pass over and over

Setup fingerprint unlock and enable it in Bitwarden.

I just switched from my Galaxy A53 5G to Pixel 9a. Installed GrapheneOS on it and it works flawlessly.

Tell them to delete them.

Revolut works perfectly.

Every neobank (and some traditional banks) allow you to generate proxy cards. Revolut (even though its global HQ isn’t in the EU) allows you to do that. Same with N26 (German neobank).

Lasts about a day. I just do everything on my MacBook.

Time to delete your Facebook.

They also have a duress PIN.

I tried the 2017 Nokia 3310 and a Samsung dumbphone but I think that my Google Pixel is waay better than those two.

Yup.

If you meant Revolut, then only when signing up for it. Otherwise I just fill a bunch of bullshit into the form and carry on. I always prefer personal pickup or parcel box anyway.

I always use a virtual credit card from Revolut.

With support for YT Music.

Where OuterTune?

Isn’t Google Files the same thing as AOSP Files?

I just use them for my email and calendar.

Can’t they just pull it up from Big Tech? And what about those who don’t have social media?

Liberties for me but for thee.

With a data-only SIM card.

Use approx. location exists in Android.

Session is a fork of Signal that doesn’t require phone numbers.

Just get an Pixel 9a from a local shop, install GrapheneOS on it and use it as your primary.

From the Online Safety Act Wikipedia page:

The act also requires platforms – including end-to-end encrypted message providers – to scan for child pornography and terrorism content, which experts say is not possible to implement without undermining users’ privacy.

Now let’s hope Parliament will still vote against it.

Danes are fascist, they pushed it through.

Good luck passing that through the Parliament. (Second paragraph of the section about CC 2.0)

Chat control. Whatever these fuckos who are pushing for this in Brussels are smoking, this must stop.

I live in Slovakia and no one gives a shit what you have on your phone here.

I don’t care about the community, I just care about the experience of using it.

Eastern Europe is more democratic than the western one.

And I thought my country is more corrupt and broken since it’s a black hole for Eurofunds and a popular place to commit VAT fraud.

Danes are indeed fascists. First Chat Control, then this.

I know that they’re in the EEA though.

Mind you that Switzerland is not in the EU.
