GooglePay does Graphene is very capable of contactless payment.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 1 day ago:
No but nfc is present and nfc contactless pay works if your banking app has it native in their app. Curve pay is a good workaround.

Better than the alternatives at this rate, unless there is an EU alternative.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 2 days ago:
I solely need camera, contactless payments and projection for cars. If it is capable of these I am pre ordering.

- Comment on LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back! 1 week ago:
As someone who is slowly moving off big tech, are there plugins or themes for these office suites that bring then more in line with modern UIs for office suites.
I hate Msoft and Google but the gsuite has a nice clean set up. Microsoft less so but still doesnt feel as unwieldly as open office. I was doing a doc last night and ended up getting the chrome flatpak and signing into docs.

You didnt answer anything or refute anything, you just say that its ridiculous and not to be worried about the rightward leap. Chat control is an issue. Leaders are making public remarks re VPNs and private industry is trying to involve itself with the ID space as it grows as a necessity.

The implementation of digital IDs is where there is scope for abuse. Of course they can be done well, I would be delighted for a sovereign zero knowledge system to be implemented. Estonia has had a good system for a long time.
Chat control weakens encryption which is an issue for VPNs who have e2e encryption.

NATO isnt the EU.

Do you sit and wait to be impacted by something before you consider forming an opinion on it andk maybe acting?
IDs and digital IDs are not the same as the discussion surrounding online identification legislation. One is state ID that is pretty common. The other is tech companies gettimg a data harvesting opportunity.
I didnt make the claim, but there is ample evidence to support it from where I sit.

Where did the EU bomb? We are not France, and criticisms of their actions and territorial claims are legitmate.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 1 week ago:
You can’t distinguish between europe and the EU. Europe has a colonial history. The EU was formed with peace and stability in mind.
The atrocities committed by european states across the centuries should be remembered and reparations made to the best possible degree.
The stability that the EU brought to the region should be remembered, lauded and fought for.
Sorry I dont subscribe to your view that once any rvil has taken place in a land that those people can never then be a force for good.

American billionaires literally funded the US fascism and have made it public policy to support fascistic governments and groups within the EU. See the US sec of state endorsing Orban this week as evidence.
Honeslty think you ae a bot in here to spread shit and be divisive for the sake of it.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 1 week ago:
The EU was founded on peace. Post world war 2 , right up until now was the longest period of peace on the continent in moder history.
You do you man, but parroting divisive talking points just to be doing it is asset work.

It likely is not their only grievance as other things exist like porn blocking, ID implementations and VPN discussions.
Also chat control is reviewing private conversations. It is a provacy breach. There is no circumstance where this is not abusable. Here are some truths to how the law is presented:
1: nothing can be seen, only if certain pre registered files are recognised 2: politicians, military and associated personnel are exempted.
Meaning it can see more than nothing or else it is acceptable for these people to possess these materials.
It is also able to controlled a granular level person to person.

Where is the support for this? I believe they would but as I understand it they cut cloud services, not core functionality.
