I have a stash of quarters in my car for parking and they are becoming useless. I have what is essentially an AOSP phone with no Google/Apple/app store - so I guess there's just some places I can't park? It's a pre-paid plan so I can't text the shortcode to pay, and I don't pay for data so even if the web is an option it won't work unless there's free wifi in the area. Whatever happened to accepting legal tender? At least if the meter accepts a tap-to-pay card I can only be beholden to a credit card company and not additionally a cell carrier and one of the app duopoly. (Yes, I'm <1%; what's your inclusive answer?)

Let me know when you're trying to eliminate having a Google or Apple account to do anything instead of making it less intolerable/invasive to have one.

I mail in a paper form because F TurboTax.

I have always had a bottle opener keychain [1]. When grabbing it from my pocket it is easy to tell by feel which way is "up" (flat side for me) so they keys are always oriented correctly. The keys can't "loop" around, either, so the order is guaranteed. It's also a useful tool.

They didn't intend it, but they should have since they'd probably end up with a better end-user experience ala Rockbox/LineageOS. The community added some cool features and worked around some glaring bugs until Mazda clamped down by specifically nuking the mods on updates. God forbid anyone embarrass them by making their crappy software better, like pausing a stream when "Mute" was hit instead of letting the stream run while muted. How about this? If you used a USB stick full of music it showed the files in FAT order, not sorted by filename or ID3 tags. It would also just randomly forget the resume point, and revert to playing the "first" file on the disk. So instead of Amon Amarth blasting my ears in this case, I had to both create a file named "0000Silence.mp3", and run a special command after every disk update to rewrite the FAT so the FAT order equaled alphabetical order.

From the posted notice[1], they answered "No" to the question "Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology if you are unsure." Is that the same thing you are referencing?

Hmm, that seems a bit worrisome for someone like me that doesn't have Play Services and only uses software from F-Droid. I haven't really investigated this.. does it always require an app?

I was generally not interested in my town parade/party day, but we had cow-chip bingo where I'm from in Iowa. So I don't know the "strategy" but it exists.

That was very nice to read... seems like there's several features I wish were considered standard.

I have been using this since 2002. You don't even have to set anything up - just make up addresses on the fly. It's pretty awesome.

Have you looked at plasma-mobile at all? It seems like they've had convergence in mind longer... I wonder if the environment is any better? I predict a lot of Electron apps and PWAs for these devices.

Is there a guide for moving from uMatrix to uBO? uMatrix works exactly how I want/expect...

BTW, the site works as expected with my Linux/Firefox/uMatrix setup... the inline scripts are disabled by default and I see the page content. I'm not sure why GP had issues.
