Probably calyx then

Mobilepay stopped working for me, so I started using iOS ☹️

UnifiedAttestation looks promising. Here’s to hoping it’s not going to cause google to sue.

I could not agree more. Ironic to live in a society where we are required to either give our data to American mega corp 1 or American mega corp 2.
Go data sovereignty!

I stand corrected. I don’t know where my head was at.
Apologies. What made me baulk was the “ID” part. Not giving them my equivalent to a social security number.

It is a particular proprietary concoction. Normal MFA apps won’t work it’s called MitID if you want to check it out. I meant venmo like. Not venmo. And no, they don’t offer a browser based “edition” ☹️

Where is this coming from? I never said that.
I am under no illusion of that. Since google is an advertisement company I tend to trust the other company a bit more. Still the plague or cholera

In Denmark it is close to impossible to live without iOS or bloated Android.
You need a MFA for verification. Doesn’t work on graphene. Alternatively, a physical code viewer is needed to function. Nobody has cash anymore. If not card, people transfer via mobilepay (venmo like). Mobilepay doesn’t work on graphene. We don’t get physical mail anymore and the apps to view digital mail doesn’t work on graphene. Banking apps, guess… most don’t work on graphene. Soon, we are forced to have an app for public transport if you are a commuter, like I am. I have very little hopes that it will work on graphene.
I was running calyx until mobilepay stopped working. But life got to inconvenient and filled with daily frustrations. Now I get frustrated over iOS. The Android on pixels steal too much data.

If this happens in Denmark/EU. I will say f**k convenience and go graphene, even though it will make my like more complicated

- Comment on Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation 4 weeks ago:
How about compensation for making all hardware so expensive? How about compensation to artists for violating their work to train your precious models? How about compensation for the CO2 that they are spewing into to atmosphere?

Sigh… why have laws at all? Chat Control kind of encroaches on indiscriminate surveillance, which the EU courts previously have told member states is against the EU charter. Now, nothing. GDPR, DMA was presented as hardening against the aggressive big tech corporations. Apparently, that doesn’t matter.
Sigh… apologies, politics and the EU pisses me of lately.

You probably mean well, it I am little offended you assume I don’t know how representative democracy works. I have signed a petition that has reached the needed signatures to be debated on a national level. The thing is they probably don’t care.
Again, you probably mean well.
