Need a recipe for safe and private taxi travel? Try the following:

- Create a dedicated user in Graphene OS with Google Play installed (unfortunately, a prerequisite)

- Install your preferred app (Uber, Bolt, Cabify, etc)

- Use a rental number from nostr:npub1qmw7jhczdr8yqy5t7u72d6z4v7u9va5gaff0ynwd2u6wwlzs7tvs694er8

- Add a 3DS card from https://2fiat.com (6% fee)

- Use a dedicated email from proton.me

- Use a VPN such as mullvad, ivpn, or obscura (works on android with wireguard)

- USE A FAKE NAME

For max privacy, wear a covid mask during the ride due to frequent use of in-cab cameras.

Enjoy private travel!

Notice that Uber & Cabify have a progressive web app without google play service requirements. (bolt does not)

m.uber.com

cabify.com/app

You should avoid apps whenever possible

💯

Looks like neither uber nor cabify are PWAs

Uber worked great as web app, but Cabify only accepts business account in browser, and we weren't able to sign up (after 5 different attempts) due to unknown error

Don't use the apps, use the web app.

does 2fiat actually send out physical cards btw? you should note this, because virtual cards using NFC means googled phone.

all the info i can find says that graphene with google stuff installed is unreliable.

No, you get a link with a card details that you can copy paste for online purchases

We don't recommend Google / Apple pay as it would destroy the privacy benefit

that's how i'll use it. the $30 fee for creating the card is brutal tho.

Google Pay is the only significant thing which does not work with GrapheneOS, but you can use a smartwatch.

Tested Garmin Pay so far, no problems.
