I mean, the bar is on the ground at this point at best.

It was a painful process, having my love of Pokémon games slowly stripped away until I finally gave up on them. It’s hard giving up on something that you’ve loved from childhood. Pokémon used to be my comfort game and it’s now unplayable trash.

The only reason I still have my Switch at all right now is the Zelda franchise because I currently lack the means to emulate. And the occasional sale item from the eShop because I’m not paying full price for a Switch game ever again after they ruined Pokémon.

I’m surprised no one’s brought up the hellscape we know as the Nintendo eShop. It’s >90% trash.

In descending order of good privacy:

• Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
• Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
• Mullvad
• Librewolf
• Brave (yes there’s controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it’s still miles better than Chrome)
• Everything else
• Chrome itself (seriously, don’t use Chrome)

My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that’s not the one by the OG dev).

As a former IT help desk person, I can confirm that we do in fact love it when people give us good info. People who write screen broke shouldn’t be working with technology more advanced than a shovel

Didn’t know about Barclays! Thank you for educating me.

I’m afraid not. You can have Google Wallet installed but you can’t have bank cards on it on GrapheneOS.

I loved it too until I forgot my wallet one day. It’s the one thing I had to go back to stock Android for because I forget everything but my phone constantly.

And check your local inheritance laws. Some places will take pre-death gifts into account depending on how long the time between gift and death is. The UK, as an example, looks at gifts made up to 7 years before a person’s death. It’s messed up.
