10 bank cards? how many accounts do you have πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

I can't speak to living that lifestyle, but I can at least share that there are options for loyalty cards on Android/Linux. I just have my one bank card I use and my ID. I bring my wallet when I know I need something in it.

Do you regularly use more than one card?

I feel like its implied by being on lemmy that you already know the basics and most of what was described in the reply though, making your point seem out of place without prefacing you meant the general public being able to use Linux phones and not just lemmings

I mean Waydroid runs Android apps on linux. Its currently the only way to play Roblox on linux with only 1 layer of trust (Roblox itself) (Sober exists but theres no source code, meaning you have to trust Roblox and SoberDevs code)

Too In-Depth; Didn't Research (Tid;Dr) response:

Can your bootloader be unlocked?

if no, no linux

if yes, is someone developing Ubuntu Touch, Manjaro Mobile, PostmarketOS etc. for it?

if no, learn how to port linux

if yes find their documentation and follow it

Quality/Results may vary

I would say give up on contactless if you ever want to use a Linux phone. In addition to the fact that if youre in the US Google/Apple/Samsung are definitely selling your spending habits to the highest bidder, I see no future short of world peace where banks agree to work with FOSS devs to create a secure enough system for wireless payment to work.

Get a thin case and put your card in it numbers facing in. It works the same :P

Are you in the US? If yes, which band (GSM/CDMA) and which phone? Ive been wanting to get off of pixels & Android for ages but I'm scared of not being able to actually use my phone as a phone.

Ive said it b4 and I'll say it again, its not for you, its for your family and friends who just won't get the fuck off facebook. if youre the kind of person who cares about risk mitigation more than the all or nothing approach, this is a perfectly fine recommendation for those people who just refuse to get rid of FB.

I mean, I get where you're coming from, but an open-source AI (as defined by the foundation that escapes my mind ATM) would designate that the data set and source code are both open and free to the public. It would be entirely ethical, even more-so if youre a green-energy user. I'm no fan of AI myself, but if I had to use it, I would prefer an approach where its not a black box doing god knows what with whoever's property/data/images
