I disagree. There is nothing stopping that as it is. What this really does is remove one more level of control from the end user on their device.
That is exactly what I meant with that. Less control for you means more control for the banks/app creators.
I myself also want to let go of the likes of Google. It’s a pretty bumpy ride, but better than a future where the Tech Bros are in control.
Let’s hope we don’t have to.
Very good. I don’t like using apps for every little shitty website like discord or WebEx either.
Just know that this is a step forward in the direction of making it technically possible to force people to usw the app. Ask yourself if you trust them to not try and profit from this.
You do you
I don’t.
I’ve seen people pay with something like that, but mostly it’s like an electronic checkbook. But yeah, browser is sufficient.
Oh! With “get around it” I meant cash, not outdated software.
I don’t know what you mean by that. Do you mean you rather use google pay?
So no banking apps for you? I agree that this is shit, but pretending we are not hit by this is not helping.
Also, I don’t really use banking apps anyway because they already pull similar shit and I can get around it. For now.
Yeah, it’s hard to get to know people that are running around. But you can sit by the workshops or the representatives of some clubs and talk to them. Helping out and being an “angel” always helps. Haven’t done that myself, so I can’t say how social this is.
Very cool, thank you!
What are some of your friends hobbies? Sometimes it just takes time to evaluate the people around oneself. A hobby to keep the friend occupied while also offering the friend a platform to talk about could help.
Books? -> Read in front of others (maybe to them?) in some discussion rounds (book club?).
I guess they don’t like sports in teams, but what about sports in parallel, like biking groups? Driving through the mountains with some people.
Computers? The CCC, makerspaces, stuff like that. Go over on a visiting day, introduce yourself and talk/build/program.
Those meeting’s successes heavily depend on the chemistry between the people involved, which can change overtime. Either they get to know each other better and begin to understand each other, or the friend meets different people in the chosen place.
If nothing works, then it can be repeated in a different club/city. There has to be someone interesting around for them.
That sounds like a cool idea. What are the plannings around this? Do they meet at a bar, a restaurant, some community hall? Are there people overseeing this? How much do they interfere? Are there transports organized? Is there food and drinks? Are they offered free-of-charge, at-cost, or with profit? Is alcohol involved? Coffee? Do they mix the groups?
Why would they? They know how it’s made!
I use arch btw. Also a mobility scooter.
Then what does his penguin mean? ( I am just trying to be funny )
Oh wow, Robbie Williams has a penguin?
Why don’t you use emacs? You can replace Linux with it and use it to start vim!
