    You can use your fucking bank from this thing called a web browser.

    Funny you say. I know at least one bank that ditched their intetnet banking and the only way to do anything is using their mobile app. Not even calling them works anymore.

    buy a little ass android phone

    switch fucking banks

    lmao, talk privilege, huh?

    I have a phone with GrapheneOS on it btw. But damn you’re not very bright, are you?









  • I bought a Pixel for it (I needed a phone upgrade) and installed GrapheneOS immediately after bringing it home. There was a little bit of friction because a few things weren’t working out of the box for me, like Android Auto and a few apps that use GPS (I tried to Pokemon Go, for example) but all these issues went away eventually. The only thing I miss is tapping my phone to pay for things, but this isn’t a GrapheneOS issue, (bank/card providers in north America and their reliance on Google Wallet/Apple pay are). There are financial institutions from other countries that offer tap to pay using their own app.

    I love being able to select what files/contacts each app has access on my phone. I like being able to disable my camera/microphone for all apps with a simple touch.














  • I was always curious but never moved over completely because I had this idea that it was difficult to run things (games, etc). I had a laptop with dual boot with Ubuntu for the longest time, then I started to use WSL to code.

    The thing that made me finally switch was the steam deck. It showed me it was possible and now we don’t have a single machine with Windows at home.

    Thinking about it now, I don’t know why everyone kept recommending to use Ubuntu, it was probably one of the main reasons why it took me so long to switch.
