  • On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android

    Here in Australia I just use a physical card for tap and go for payments etc or use cash. No need for Google Pay or bank payments app. Can log in via my bank via a web browser to move cash about or check spending.

    I think you demonstrated the entire point, people prefer invasive convenience over privacy., along with flimsy justification. Not having a go, it’s exactly what most people say when I query them about privacy, “It’s so much eaaier and how I manage” etc etc.

    Then we have your FB messenger thing. Dead lord, stop that. If they don’t want to chat to me on Signal, they’re obviously not my friend.






  • I use a Galaxy Ultra. currently an S22u previously a Note 9.

    I use the stylus everyday. I tired a phone.sans atykus (Pixel Pro) for a month and got rid of it. The sylus is so handy

    I have gone ----> Note 8, Note 9, S22u.

    I draw work sketches all the time eg just this morning my parter sent me a photo of her mother’s toilet and asked me how to fix it. I typed a long set of instructions, she said huh… And can you draw me a sketch, stylus out and I did and she said now she understands and fixed it herself.

    Someone givea me some info, stylus out, tap the screen and start writing eg phone number, address etc. No unlocking necessary. I have used the stylus as a camera remote on the phone but not often.

    The styus makes the phone so useful it still beguiles me how peoplendo without. I use a phone and desktop.

    but the ten commandments in and of themselves have no link to nazi-ism

    Yeah nahhh, like the Buddhist symbol was co-opted by the Germans, the commandments are used as a dog whistle by fascists now.

    If it was about being Christian they would have used the Beatitudes (words of Christ) not the commandments. If it was about being chest thumping American they’d put the cononsitiution there, speration of church and state etc.

    We know WHY they don’t use the Beatitudes, because theae fuckers are as close to being Christian as Hitler was to being Buddhist.

    Gandhi’s famous quote summarizes whats so wrong with Christians doing stupid shit like pinning 10 Commandments to the wall, they have little resemblance to Christ

    I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ - Mohandas Gandhi
