    What’s going on with Europe lately? You all really want GOOGLE of all mega corps in control of your identity?

    You’re going the opposite way, it should be your right to install an alternate OS on your phone. If anything they should be banning Google licensed Android.

      Its not the populace, our politicians just like in the US have gone rogue. People are voting for the nutters due to anti immigration propaganda and so increasingly getting far right. Its happening across the entire western world and its bad news for everyone.

      I just wanted the EU to fork lineageOS and provide it as an alternative in major chains.

        I miss LineageOS so much, my last couple of phones haven’t had a build of it and my asshole banking apps wont work on it now.

        For my next phone i’m just not going to buy one unless it’s already supported and if I have to skip online banking I’ll do it.

            I use cards, I don’t even have NFC on my phone, but it is nice to be able to check my bank account, lock/unlock the card, deposit checks, etc.

            I may be able to do most of that on the website, idk. Guess I’m probably going to find out :)

              Use the old phone w generic android for banking apps. Most banking websites will still have app functionality too

      to hear it from any non-Americans on lemmy they’re better than America.

      looks like they’re just as susceptible to this fascist bullshit to me though…
