Fuck google pay, apple pay, any payment system linked to a phone. Fuck a cashless society. I needed to use google wallet for some event recently and couldn't because I'm running grapheneOS. Refuse to use this bull shit. The card processors are a cartel but they're nothing compared to Google owning all transaction data.

I see people using their phone for public transit, I see most people using their phone when buying groceries, that shit makes no sense to me. Why would you want your money to run out of batteries so that it can spy on you?

I had an ebike that unlocked via an app, except when it didn't want to connect with Bluetooth. There was a hardware override, but it was a pain in the ass in so many ways.

Keys work fine, no, custom apps because.

Anything that requires an app is just going to fail you when you need it most.

@xinit @jonny I have this 1965-ish British road bike that is more than 50% original parts, did 30 miles on it on Friday and it still rides well. Imagine if they'd made so you can't ride it without a fucking punch card or something.
