Agree to your point. But the hawker in street in India wants to get paid or he or she cannot eat next day. And if majority say they will use UPI/online payments - they accept. Do you live there? Every other shop will avoid paying you c

KYC and centralisation means govt will promise your money is there. These are essential for dev country or 3rd world. Even with so much kyc often there are fraud. This has minimised fraud. If you are looking for RMS style freedom etc then l

Isnt the aim to remove dependency on Google/Apple? EU should have forced Google and Apple to allow people to use NFC pay without having Google or Apple accounts. If you talk about using NFC card. Yes, that is available. Nothing is diff

Many useful features like verified by visa or Google Pay or Apple pay is not available. If you are that anal then using railway does not need app. You can use a mobile browser or desktop. I have seen people show QR code from their computer

Ideally they should have also told all German banks distribute or offer non-App based accounts or 2FA? But they did not. Also people are dependent on Play or App store. DB does not offer the app for direct download.

this does not mean anything logical. Billions use android. Some will be affected due to any company or ID etc. Pretty sure you can visit your local apple store and see many people asking for shattered screen or lost iphone. They did lose th

Reddit r/k12sysadmin disagrees. Sure, as always there will some that will switch to Apple. Why not. Some even have MS.

So whats next. Apple will force corners... Glass. Microsoft will push copilot. Firefox will push AI. Are you waiting for w3m or curl?

Did you use netscape?

It was awful especially if you use open source OS like Linux. It slowed the computer, fans full speed. Wtf are you smoking?

It is saddening that you are ignorant in knowing that technology companies follow Apple's devices more carefully that other OS.

The point about Apple is that everyone from zoom, slack etc will be forced to optimize for that 8GB. (Same like getting rid of awful flash player). Many a people need only a basic device for Netflix, YouTube, google docs or email or search&

Nail in the coffin for ChromeOS (or aluminiumOS) if they 8GB RAM variants are sold > $500.

> have to show them your phone number, Not always working. You can see often in google community support people lost their phone. Get a new sim card and phone. Google sends the 2FA request to old phone - without that they cannot restore

Not download. I have a good connection. - Installation is slow. REally slow. They blame it on btrfs. But the same for XFS. It took at least 30 min. Why? - rpm-ostree - same. https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/disc

I tried a lot to get this in reality - using fedora silverblue. But that thing sucks. It is slow. Really dogslow. Devs are blaming rpm-ostree or btrfs - no idea. I wish there was something like ChromeOS but open. Hint: Maybe firefox shou

If you have a $100 phone then UI is lighter as compared to running firefox etc.

A few years is different case. Invidious is also getting blocked easily. Are you running it now? If yes, then report.

With that argument we are discussing this on...errr US - the organization that perhaps grew those companies. The word is not ironic it is pragmatic.
