VPS, email and aliases have no use in real daily life outside of small niche hobbies and is a poor indicator of how useful cryptonis as currency.
I’m intrigued about PC hardware, bedsheets, food and drink directly with crypto from a store, because I have never seen that.
There’s also stores where you can buy gift cards for real-world things (Amazon etc.) with Monero.
I guess that’s highly location dependant, we don’t have amazon in my country. Even if we did I’d rather use my credit card than shop with them though…
IME crypto is largely useless as a means of payment, not just in the real world but also online. Literally nothing I have ever bought online could be paid with crypto, no stores that sell useful tangible things takes them, be it hardware (kitchen, computer, whatever…), groceries, things for hobby projects. There’s just nowhere to spend it.
AFAIK it’s the IPs of the VPN server that gets flagged in these cases. Not sure how that could be masked, it would probably basically just be using a different VPN server
Ah OK fair enough, I’ve just seen so many from the US cite ridiculous cell phone plans
Cell phone data is fairly low priced in the EU compared to the US…I used to pay $17/month for 50GB data and 5G access, and I could use 10GB of that without extra charge in all EU countries. I’ve reduced my plan now to 10GB/month because i wasn’t using more than that, and it costs $10/month
All the above points are valid except for this
requires an Internet connection.
You can easily download for offline listening with spotify. Even piracy will require internet connection for later offline consumption, and getting music from physical media is way more work than most realistically want to do today.
If app support breaks even more or gets even jankier on grapheneOS than it already is, I’m folding and getting a dumb phone instead.
IMO the issue is not that OP shared a video, it’s that they shared a video from YouTube that’s the issue.
I’m not expecting perfect matches, but what is considered basic proper functionality. Expecting a navigation app that is not just on par (or even worse) with a 25 year old TomTom is really not setting the bar high or expecting too much IMO.
And I do still use inferior apps to avoid big tech, but the constant shortcomings (some minor, some major) is extremely annoying, so yeah I’m venting some of that.
Passing strong integrity check isn’t always enough. My banking and government 2FA still don’t work on rooted devices (or graphene with locked bootloader and play services)
Yeah i disagree that FOSS should be given extra slack just because…
Yes but that’s the nuisance you don’t want with an application specifically made to make navigation easier. I want good simple workflows, not shitty clunky workarounds.
I don’t know what Wegmans is, but all the places I’ve tested so far was found, even small local artisanal shops in the town I live in.
rooting your phone gives you ability to fake a lot of the requirements to make stubborn apps run.
Rooting also completely breaks the ability to run some apps with no recourse for spoofing the fact that it’s a rooted device.
I’m in Scandinavia and haven’t had issues with gmaps routing. The routing of OsmAnd is fine, but the navigation visualization is insanely bad, when you turn your phone horizontal they fill the whole screen with basically useless blank bars both at the top and bottom instead of just showing the map and turn-by-turn instructions in a corner like gmaps. That combined with the less than useless searching (if you don’t know the specific address of a place you’re pretty much SOoL) makes it really bad IME.
I’m not sure what you mean by “aggressive routing”?
…yes, it says so in the article.
