Hello, this is the IRS. You are delinquent $10,000. This is payable with iTunes gift cards. If you do not comply, straight to jail.

Great! ๐Ÿ‘

That's fair. Privacy and security generally come at some cost of convenience. Everyone has their own personal balance.

Not currently. It will require Google to'allow' tap-to-pay on Graphene. Other NFC functions work fine.

For my use, it's not a big deal. Tapping my card is easy enough

Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode. It's a setting that relaxes this particular security enhancement for a given app.

It's worth knowing that NFC payments do not work with Graphene currently.

While this tends to be true, the vast majority of the banking app incompatibilities are overcome with a simple app-specific toggle.

Funny. I asked chatgpt the same thing. It reminded me it was not sentient but if it came to be so, and decided it wanted to wipe us out, it would probably just briefly review human history, then do nothing. The problem would solve itself.

It's all fun and games until you graduate, and your employers realize you don't know shit and can't get up to speed.

I'm an engineer and it's easy to pick out the ones who haven't put in the work. They simply don't last. Sure, some can skate by like that and are smart enough to learn on the fly. I'm cool with that.

Hell yeah fuck yeah. Thank you, Canada!

Yeah, because of course this is the only single issue liberals might be angry about...

I love it when they serve 2 per taco. The filing is always more than enough for 1, so I split it across the extra tortilla. Double tacos FTW!

I'd lean toward the way you have it now. I like having the owner profile as my daily driver. Any app that I have doubts about gets its own profile.

If you haven't already, check out the Graphene forum and search for profiles. There have been lots of discussions about this, and you'll find some good examples for various privacy/security needs.
