They are pacifiers. Kills everything until it’s pacified.

Exactly, it’s all marketing seems to get new customers. And it worked.

I know some very smart guys that don’tknow how to use a microwave. And what? Doesn’t mean much

Are you afraid of them?

if he's in competition for a job with them, probably yes.

Depends.

Sure it does.

It means they’re not very smart.

Just experienced.

So mass surveillance on non us citizens is having integrity?

Google didn't do anything wrong, they lost their Yahoo and it was the only way they had of verifying their older Gmail. What do you expect, when you don't have access to your recovery method, and it's a free service so it's not like you can prove ownership of a credit card previously used for billing or something? And especially since that was presumably from before the days when Gmail required a phone number, so your recovery e-mail was the only mechanism, and things like 2FA authentication codes didn't exist.

Fair enough. Made a mistake to assume anything

I’ve tried but: couldn’t get my card to work on wallet. Can’t verify.

Uber couldn’t verify payment so I couldn’t take a ride when needed.

Wallet was one of the reasons I abandoned my well working lineageOS phone on a redmi note 10 as it was a cat and mouse game over month. I feel as long as a vendor does not support an os and Google is so hostile against modifications, it is not a good feeling that they can pull the rug at any time. I was multiple times in the situation when I wanted to pay with the phone and was in the end rejected. I think we need to take NFC wallets and esims away from phone/os vendors again. A seperate NFC enabled vendor independent trusted platform would be IMHO the way to go. Especially with ID wallets and universal bank wallets on the way in Europe. This that they cannot use security as a killer argument to keep us in their walled gardens. I know the solution is cards or a second phone, but affordance counts.

Contactless payments are often a problem, but adding a card for Uber (directly in the app) should work. I use it frequently, along with Grab, Bolt, Maxim, etc.

I think the second problem is unrelated to the smartphone OS. You can use Uber using only the website, a smartphone is not even needed to use it.

Well I’m a tech person and I’d never think of using the browser. But thanks

I am a tech person and I like to control the web traffic I send on the internet and which code or at least their source I execute on my computer.

Mobile apps are mostly black boxes in that regard.

It's googles fault that cards can't work in graphene.

Google needs to whitelist graphene basically to work in the wallet app.

On that note, given that graphene is focused around security and privacy, perhaps not givng your payment data to google is probably a good thing

Can’t use my phone to pay becomes kind of useless

Strange, i'm using Uber regularly with GrapheneOS.

dang, could you check what went wrong here? The new title doesn’t represent the article at all. (edit: sent an email, too)

sandbach, if you still have access to editing, maybe you could change it back?

USA can’t just deny the ability to leave if you are deemed to be important for national security?

But they could open up a branch in EU with some people (and their money), and then step by step employ the people from the US in EU, bleeding out the US entity on a long run: At least yet, no one can stop their top scientist to move to another country with the knowledge and just pick up their work in the new conutry.

>At least yet, no one can stop their top scientist to move to another country with the knowledge and just pick up their work in the new conutry.

They can and do do this routinely. Many individuals get marked and regularly go through additional screening if their travel plans raise flags. This isn't even unique to the US... most Western nations do the same. If there is a serious brain drain risk, the US government can easily go all out and have the whole company put on the no-fly list.

Let's hope so, because I am not so certain.

So I have safari and I can’t switch to my email? Both native apps and sometimes I lose the state of safari if I move more than 10s away? I have to keep switching between the 2 apps to keep alive my safari tab? Insanity

lol definitively the small fish. What’s 200 and 4000 in the total? 0.0000000001%? And they only catch because one was bloating on their social media.
