I just wanted the EU to fork lineageOS and provide it as an alternative in major chains.
Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google

What’s going on with Europe lately? You all really want GOOGLE of all mega corps in control of your identity?
You’re going the opposite way, it should be your right to install an alternate OS on your phone. If anything they should be banning Google licensed Android.

I miss LineageOS so much, my last couple of phones haven’t had a build of it and my asshole banking apps wont work on it now.
For my next phone i’m just not going to buy one unless it’s already supported and if I have to skip online banking I’ll do it.

I use the banks webpage. Still works on LineageOS even when the app doesn’t

one advantage of cards over banking apps
Wolf@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I use cards, I don’t even have NFC on my phone, but it is nice to be able to check my bank account, lock/unlock the card, deposit checks, etc.
I may be able to do most of that on the website, idk. Guess I’m probably going to find out :)

to hear it from any non-Americans on lemmy they’re better than America.
looks like they’re just as susceptible to this fascist bullshit to me though…

We invented this bullshit, of course we’re susceptible.
Still better than America, though ;P XD

We dont want it. VdL is one of the most corrupt people in policits and unfortunately has a lot of influence
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 months ago
VdL = Ursula von der Leyen to the uninitiated. Conservative politician, but the more boring kind, not the Orbán-style post-fascism kind.

Its not the populace, our politicians just like in the US have gone rogue. People are voting for the nutters due to anti immigration propaganda and so increasingly getting far right. Its happening across the entire western world and its bad news for everyone.

Except this isn’t even the right wing nutters doing it. These are mainstream politicians executing their power grabbing agenda, with very little democratic oversight or public debate.

At least in the UK it has been the Labor party doing it, they all want control.
