Feeling pretty doomer right now about the seemingly inescapable nature of requiring a proprietary mobile operating system in order to use banking apps. Hate the fact that the American regime has so much power over how the entire world when it comes to finances, the fact that the two main payment processors are American and charge a rip-off fee for every transaction that goes to these evil companies and the US government.

What I love about software is that there's an entire community out there building a free world mostly independent from corporations and governments with FOSS. When we write free software, anyone or any group of people willing to create a piece of software can just go ahead and build it without requiring permission from some higher entity. The bottleneck is skill, time and motivation, not any legal bullshit.
