I am in this picture and I dont like it 🤣

in it's base version, Revolut is free, yet they surely try to convince you to pay for a paid plan, use their depot, and other stuff... However the only downside worth mentioning is getting less interest on the savings account. Or did you refer to them being a UK bank? In that case: Revolut exists in multiple countries - my account is in Lithuania, yet still fully managed in €. They nowadays also have a german banking license (giving you a DE-IBAN). Accounts themself can be in on of, I dunno... 33 different currencies or so?

Another option worth mentioning would be Trade Republic, however I've never tried them myself.

I actually went with Revolut as my Bank, using their virtual credit cards for online payment - they offer a virtual one-time CC as well which details reset after each succesfull transaction. Thow way there's at least no 3rd party besides CC provider and my bank snooping on my transactions.

Well.. kinda the same as when Microsoft was forced to give its users the "choice" for a different browser. Took ages to implement and still, Microsoft tried to get around it. Just look how easy it is to purge Edge from Win11 or to even replace it with something else for links embedded in the o/s itself.

It's not about enforcing an inferior product - it's about enforcing the freedom of choice. The way google was forcing its services down everybodies throat led to a market where people didn't even know that something besides gMaps exists. Now competitors at least have some sort of chance.

damn... this one hits way to close 😂

You dont want/need root for graphene in the first place. that would just open another attack vector and is strongly discouraged.

Problem being that there is no real incentive to do so, unless PeerTube finds a way to pay content creators. Until then, switching away from YouTube means loosig their revenue stream...requiring them to take up jobs to pay the bills and eventually have less time for content creation.

Living on donations and patreon alone is hard...

+1 vor HeliBoard. I was in the same position and switched about half a year ago. The only thing I missing so far is a dedicated voice input button.
