I use Ubuntu touch as a personal device, which has zero support for banking apps, meaning I have to have a backup Android device. My work phone is a pixel 6 running graphene OS, which manages to run all of my banking apps just fine. (Though admittedly I ‘got lucky’ in the sense that my banks are supported by graphene OS)

Graphene, or any other alternative to the big 2, aren’t perfect and don’t cover all banks, but graphene is by far the frontrunner for a viable alternative. If you haven’t toyed around with it and get the opportunity, id definitely recommend it.

I really hope we do see further Linux phone development, but without buy-in from the banks themselves, they will not be supported for the same reason Graphene isn’t. The only difference is Graphene allows sandboxing play integrity to navigate the “Google has to say it’s okay” nonsense. It’s a rock and a hard place problem; the banks won’t support without mass adoption, and mass adoption won’t happen due to lack of banking support.

I think sailfish OS has a similar integrity sandboxing concept, though I haven’t tried that personally, so can’t comment on how well it works.

I was thinking the same. I’ve travelled the world over with lighters in my pocket.

Only time it’s ever been a problem, was trying to bring a jet lighter with me, which is quite ironic now that I think about it.

The arc of the door opening should pull the pin, providing the wire doesnt just fall off as the handles pressed down ofc.

This is a shitposting group; I don’t think personal investment in the topic is a precursor to commenting here…

There’s a beefeater (UK pub/restaurant chain) in my town that recently made their car park pay and display. Their customers have resorted to parking on the grass verges and pavements leading up to the building, causing safety issues (blocking views of turning onto a 50 road, covering pavement and forcing pedestrians into the road; that sort of thing).

I’m sure if the local council started charging them for the damage caused to the green, or even the damage caused by accidents due to their customers choice of parking, the car parking fee would quickly disappear.

Tbh, I’m surprised it hasn’t already. Their car park is always empty now, so it’s not generating revenue, and they used to have double the amount of cars you see round there now… so my guess is people fucked off somewhere else, and this attempt at squeezing just resulted in a permanent loss of regular revenue

Ah that’s what I get for skim reading the meme I guess.

I know it as shrinkflation.

At the very least they’d like their tip back.

That’s actually why the dad believes the baby is a late bloomer; It took him this long to get a concussion? He’s practically a toddler now!
