  • By “tap to pay” do you just mean contactless payments? They do work, just not via Google Pay. I’m using something called “Curve Pay” which seems to work perfectly (and it’s now owned by Lloyd’s Bank in the UK so it’s not like its some random company I’m trusting). I believe there are other third party providers, apparently the PayPal app works but only if you’re in Germany.

    Or just tape your card to the back of your phone for the simplest solution.




  • I think some people want the idea of a service that’s absolutely perfect, and anything with any flaw is just as bad as the actual bad thing. The likes of Signal and Proton aren’t perfect, but they’re so much better than the big tech defaults that the only ones benefiting from people shitting on them are the corpos we’re trying to get away from!

    More power to you if you can get all your friends to switch to the optimal self-hosted FOSS solution, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
