I’m on the edge of convince and tinfoil hat. I’ve accepted some snooping and use mostly privacy based third party apps. But I want my bank app and others to work consistently. So I stick to regular old
Android.
My dream is someone actually makes good hardware for one of the various mobile capable Linux distros that I can build my own apps and interfaces on. But the ones out there have shit hardware.
yeah. i tried a Pine with Linux and it was total rubbish.
banking apps are a problem and I expect that to get worse. my plan is to have a second phone (a cheap one) if and when it gets to that point.
i'd love to be able to use my phone to pay with Visa like on a regular Droid or iPhone but sadly, my bank don't allow it on Graphene even though the OS meets all the necessary standards.
I've been loudly saying no to surveillance since the 1990s. 🤙
Banking works in the browser too.
I was just able to install the one banking app I use, on Graphene OS. I think the random anonymous login in Aurora store was from my country that day, so it worked.
