Not "only" the Curve app. Some banks provide NFC payments directly from their own app.

It's possible. I run GrapheneOS and pay with it via NFC. The issue is finding the right provider and app.

In the UK we have Curve and, I believe, plenty of European banks have apps that work natively too.

But not in the same league as GrapheneOS.

Sound advice.

GrapheneOS allows for this. It's called Contacts Scope.

Pihole's not an OS, it's an application/service.
It's a slippery slope, my friend. Take care now.
Because everyone's head is stuck in their phone, doom scrolling.

I don't know why anyone would want to be rich and famous.

Rich and anonymous is where it's at.

I have NFC payments on GrapheneOS.

The problem isn't the OS, it's the payment providers not providing support.

In the very first section, "you're", "you're" and "your". The first two used correctly and the third incorrectly.

Qubes OS?
Install a Matrix client and run a WhatsApp bridge and you can.

Is it trivial? No.

Is it possible? Yes, I do it.

In a roundabout way, you can.

Today, I could write a Python script to connect to my Matrix Synapse server and send a message to rooms bridged to WhatsApp via the `mautrix-whatsapp` bridge.

Encrypted metadata is in the works.

Belay that. The G-value was high too.

This is an S4, though.

This was an S4 event, however.

I have family in the US but there's no way I'm visiting them for the foreseeable future.

The US is quickly sliding into the thing they claim to despise: a dictatorship with a populace cowering for their safety and lacking general human rights.

Good luck, America.
