Some banking apps work. Some banks online banking can be used in browser. Other than that… Idk

So nothing new then?

You are conflating a lot of different things and putting words in my mouth.

No country is free of problems. But the US in particular has so many issues that are significantly more obvious than something like federalism. So it is very unclear to me why you would single that out as having anything to do with the current state of that country.

Disagree, migrate everything important you can think of, let it sit for a year or two and then delete. If you didn’t need it in that time, chances are you likely never will.

American problems are rooted in Calvinism and the idea that everyone is entitled to everything around them if they can only grab it. Not federalism.

Not enough americans hate them enough. Unfortunately.

I suppose he is referring to banking apps (and all security-critical apps) relying on Google and Apple for attestation of device integrity (i.e. that nobody, including you yourself, tampered with the device operating system).

This almost surely could be solved with open-source, public-owned code, although I’d have to research that to be sure.

Well what is the best place to find and buy those? Just the usual “refurbished tech” stores and websites?

Is the Fairphone 6 really significantly more expensive still?

I don’t think anyone really cares about things like that in 2025

We don’t even need a huge amount of open source software. Just the important protocols.

Similar to how it was done in the early days of the internet:

Some committee (ideally made up partly of researchers, open-source institutions and private companies) agrees on an open standard, and then they all together work towards improving it, and they all use it in a way that is interoperable.

They’re intended exclusively for the US nukes we got. Afaik european aircrafts which could work with them are in development, but won’t be ready soon.
