From loyalty cards, to restaurant meal deals or simply parking your car – it is harder and harder to get by without signing up to a multitude of apps

    I’m young and I fucking hate apps. I have android phone without a google account which works well for the most part. I’m too dumb to install LineageOS. and Linux phones aren’t really an option in the US.

        Carrier support is pretty much non-existant from what I have seen.

            not the person you replied to but, that’s better than I figured it was tbh

            I’ll probally wait quite a bit longer though myself. It even says on the main screen it’s not ready for mainstream/non Enthusiast consumption. which tells me that I’ll have to tinker with it constantly for it to function right.

            I’m super excited for the project still, it has massive potential. I might look into a second hand one when I have more disposable income
