Ngl it’s getting pretty ridiculous how often things like this are being implemented into everything we use.

    The problem is also that if companies like Apple (which a lot of people trust) start normalising this behaviour it will only encourage people to start scanning their passports/driving licences on every bloody site!

      I stopped trusting Apple when Tim Cook stuck his whole head into Trumps behind and swallowed everything he encountered in the passageway. Switched to Linux and Graphene OS and ditched all my Apple Hardware after 20+ years.

      Someone posted on Reddit today (I know, I know) that they couldn’t go to any adult content (I assume he meant porn) sites at all, it was returning an error. As soon as he verified (he used a credit card) he could operate as normal.

    Ok so looks like move of device for me. Apple iphone is my last bastion of big tech and I held off as I didn’t want to swap hardware. I’m not super clued on my options but I have been looking at sailfish or graphine.

    I won’t be buying a brand new device I’ll purchase a used one second hand. I’m not fussy with which hardware. I am happy to use the browser, i need an average camera, and i like a map /music in the car

    I do like Linux but don’t want an ongoing subscription for sailfish. What option or combination is good?

      Used pixel + GrapheneOS. Takes some getting used to, but most stuff works as expected. The default apps aren’t pretty, but ithe Fossify alternatives are a little nicer.

      You’re leaving a whole ecosystem meant to work seamlessly without having to understand how it works, so be prepared for that…
