A lot of places don’t take cash.

My bank (Monzo) doesn’t even offer an alternative way to interact or sign up except through the smartphone app.

When I get a card I need to verify my identity somehow, times past that was me going to the bank, signing a form and showing my ID card. Fucking Tim Apple or Satya McGoogle didn’t have a role in that, why should they now?

The government did though in supplying said ID, so there was a centralised trustable organisation that the bank could depend on for verification.

One or more neutral organizations could exist certifying devices and operating systems without providing a centralized API. Those organizations could simply provide signed releases with the roots of trust, revoked keys and operating system key fingerprints. Apps could use multiple different certifying organizations. This is already something Android’s hardware attestation API fully supports today.

Then why doesn’t GrapheneOS offer that alternative to banks etc

One of the most economically interventionist governments in decades. Hardly Blairism.

You get yourself to BlueSky

I mean there’s gut feeling and then there’s real actual evidence.

They should default to a more modern interface rather than asking newbies to make the change.

I completed Nier Automata via GeForce Now just fine. Competitive shooters maybe not, but that’s just a subset of gaming anyway.

No I’m saying that the British government could pass primary legislation if it really wanted to and cancel the elections. Parliament is sovereign, but they just cancelled these elections in a really cack-handed way that forced them to backtrack (although they could in theory still take this route).

They didn’t really have that choice for the EU elections.

Difference here being we make the UK’s law.

We did it because the EU made us.

Agreed. But can I ask though did he not seem like a poor decision maker and organiser in 2016? Why did you vote for him a second time?

In one focus group before the election, someone said: ‘At least Tony Benn gave his title up.’ It’s like they saw Keir’s knighthood as hereditary.

Benn also gave his title up because it actively barred him from being an MP.

The general public, man.

Discussion threads tend to work better when people have actually read the article.

The Fairphone team has tried to help with mainline Linux support: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_(Gen._6)_(fairphone-fp6)

Ah dual booting with Windows can cause some issues, like with Bitlocker, Fast Boot stopping WiFi from working in Linux, or a rogue update causing Grub to fail.

Is Google “much loathed”? It’s thanks to Google that the world’s largest browser engine and operating system are both open source. Yes we can list bad things they’ve done but they’ve also done a lot of good.

It’s been fine for me

You’re more likely to get a price like that in CEX or Back market, with the added bonus that it’s ethical to reuse second hand.
