If it relies exclusively on smart phones they can fuck off, they changing one overlord for another one from the same place, except this one is even shittier.

Stop digital ids and age verification.

Seems like it's Wero again. Which is American-approved smartphone exclusive.

I don't see it as a replacement for Visa/Mastercard, only possibly Google/Apple pay and things like PayPal.

It's becoming increasingly bizarre to me that virtually all journalists will absolutely refuse to mention Google Play and iOS exclusivity. Has anyone figured out why that is?

Does your phone not have a webbrowser? The point is to not make it bound to a single piece of tech that's currently controlled by only two companies. I recently opened an account with Barclays and they are very much app first focused, but their app doesn't work on GrapheneOS. God know how long it would take them to create an app that supports more Linux native phones.

dude says he hates smart phones. i ask what is the alternative. reply: why dont i have a browser on my smartphone...

you guys are either all insane, or yandex fucked up all the tankie chatbots on lemmy.

He didn't say anything about hating smartphones, he just said smartphone exlusivity (ska an app with no other alternative) can fuck off.

Another card instead of an app that requires google's blessing and supervision.

They want to challenge visa and mastercard by droping their trousers and bending over for google.
