A mobile phone with open hardware and a linux based open source operating system but locked down to run only 3 services:
1. Phone
2. Identity attestation (passwords, passkey, TOTP, verifiable attestations/credentials on the device, all backed by an open hardware Secure Enclave)
3. Browser
Camera optional. No App Store. Minimal (encrypted) local storage, but that’s it.

@jwildeboer Sounds appealing. But at least here in Norway it's starting to get increasingly hard to live without the one payment app most people use. Of course for most things just bringing your bank card is fine but for example buying things used or from more informal vendors, people who sell home made stuff, etc, the payment app is kinda mandatory.
We also have some local public places you need an app to get in to at certain times of day.
@forteller Eek that’s really bad. 😬 They don’t accept cash?
