nobody said a thing about what AI thinks

I mean this thread didn’t mention archive.today, it’s another reply to the top comment that did

reformers are the exception, they don’t represent the class

that’s a different thread

in some countries it’s fallen out of fashion. in others, people are too lazy to bring a slim wallet with themselves and select the bills and coins every time they want to spend

most apps already work, and it’s been always that way. those that don’t, it’s because they depend on the google services system app (microg helps here). or they require google play integrity to pass which is not something that can be hacked around, because this is its exact purpose: denying to work on open source aosp systems. it is security, but not for you, but against you.

I’m sure there was, but I’m not sure there still is.

maybe those who still do that carry around a google infested phone.

The phone app is very useful for those functions - especially if the alternative is going into a bank and queuing.

the bank’s web portal should also work for this.

if it refuses to open on your phone, try firefox and enable desktop mode for that tab

Iiuc Open Source Android has to sandbox Google Play for banking apps to work

that’s not necessary but also not enough for it. the bank apps specifically check if you run a google/apple approved, unmodified operating system.

today it is not possible to pay with an open source operating system. somewhat of an exception is grapheneos, but even if you just build it from source for yourself, the bank’s app will refuse operation.

and on top of that, google services are required too if you want to pay with your phone in shops.

so this is not something open source os maintainers can solve. it is a result of google engaging in illegal practices which are not prosecuted.

building an alternative to Google and Apple is a high priority

Technically… afaik most banks in the EU also support current non-android huawei phones, which have their own implementation of the play integrity service to lock you into the factory os. but huaweis are not better, probably worse.

quality control of the operating system to make sure it doesn’t contain malware/spyware

if uou l9ok around, you should see that is not a requirement

in civilized countries consent is required for that

If you don’t want to be recorded by people at random, stay home. you are free to die

or worse, all your peers will ridicule you for not having it

it will be “optional”

in the pantry

that’s fine, if you only use it on private roads. but if not, you are recording plenty of people (even not counting drivers) who did not consent to being recorded.
then who knows what happens with the recordings. and that’s the actual problem.

too bad its not enforced.

oh I mostly agree, but forgot to include the quote. I wanted to say, all that AI processing probably does not happen locally

how would a community owned ISP deny federal censorship?

few computers have an embedded NPU

For anyone who doesn’t know, here’s what happened:

except you forgot to mention some fucking crucial steps, like harshly calling it as politics and sending everyone to a warmer climate, and locking the issue to prevent further discussion

why don’t you just use chromium? it is open source, you can fork it!
