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.

Read the post. Had to use it for an event.

@jonny @pa27 i still don't get it sorry: how did that event accept tapping a card through a phone but not directly?

Also curious: did Google Wallet waited until you actually had to pay? I would expect this to fail when you try to add the card.

It was like "you need to add this ticket to google wallet so we can scan it" and then I got as far as that error trying to do that 🤷‍♀️. I just ended up using a friends phone
