It's absolutely jaw-dropping. Either no-one at these companies was capable of understanding the problem, or no-one cared enough to do something about it.
Likely both.
Readit News(Lineage user here) I've had no trouble with Schwab, USAA, Discover, Amex, Mercury, PayPal, Venmo, or Stripe.
Phone is rooted with Magisk Hide and MicroG for spoofing google play services. Google Wallet does not work.
Google Wallet also doesn't work on Graphene OS.
I just looked into this and in the US there's basically no technical answer that I'd expect to be reliable.
You've got a few choices:
* magsafe wallet (~$10) without nfc shield with a physical card
* "purewrist" prepaid debit card (would be good for a kid maybe)
* garmin smartwatch that gets linked properly like Google Pay would
If you're in the EU there are a ton more options, specifically "Curve Pay" and possibly "Amex UK".
Very annoying.
I think the best way to prevent the sale of crime fridges to criminals would be to have national governments integrate the entirety of data that each nation has, from every level, on every citizen. Then we can create an API which market participants like Frigidaire and Bosch can use to query whether a purchase should be permitted based on the purchaser.
/s, if not obvious. Strange times.
I think all reasonable citizens could agree that a simple licensure for fridge ownership is for the best.
Besides, we can use the extra license taxes from people with multiple fridges to raise funds for the schools.
You don't hate the children, do you?

Sure was buddy
Big Book out to get u
(How the fuck did you know what "propaganda" was before you could even read btw?)
That was just the vibe.
It was mandatory watching by the state education program. It had product placement and a clear message.
I mean, I feel like it would take more education to not see it as propaganda.
I didn't like The Magic Schoolbus either though. Same reason.
Oh, and Scholastic everything.

It really felt like propaganda as a kid.
Made me think reading was probably a scam.
Moving the goalposts. No chipped key car has ever been stolen by beaming some kit off AliExpress at it and simply driving away.
I bought kit that can do this off AliExpress.

Some context for anyone unfamiliar with the linux desktop space:
Hyprland is a "wayland compositor" (roughly analogous to an X Window Manager) that is under active community development: https://hypr.land
Wayland is considered the future of the linux desktop and is what projects like Valve's SteamDeck are using: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope
It's known that Hyprland Premium is going to include a bunch of pre-made dotfiles including a Quickshell bar config, if you want to see the current top-tier rice: https://quickshell.outfoxxed.me/

This is really nice, but why humanoid? Spiders, dogs etc with human arm(s) and hands with thumbs etc seem to make a lot more sense. We can design whatever we want, why make them humanoid? Or at least 'ape', so it would crawl on all fours normally for stability and can stand up and use it's hands (and feet) for working on things.
The world is already human shaped. It's essentially backwards compatibility for existing physical interfaces.
Yes, it's a good-faith license. The license doesn't even apply to the OSS version (only prebuilt binaries).
The bet is that super fans will pay for it in the early days and, as it gets adopted by larger companies, they will pay in order to comply with the legalities of commercial use. So far, it's working! The largest company so far is 34 seats, with a couple more in the pipe!
It makes good sense because companies actually have an absurd amount of liability to you if they violate your agreement.
