When talking about degoogle i always hear something to the effect of “but, my bank app bruh”
FUCK YO MUTHA FUCKIN BANK APP!!!
Like seriously, you lazy fuck head. You can use your fucking bank from this thing called a web browser. Some good examples are Firefox or Chromium.
If your bank does not allow you to use a website to manage your account, then SWITCH FUCKING BANKS!
I’ve heard that some people live in the European hellhole where you can’t do banking from a website because of needing a phone to authenticate. In which case, buy yourself a cheap little ass Android phone that sits in a drawer powered off at all times unless you fucking need it.
You sorry excuse for a human being have no integrity because you talk like you want to maintain your sovereignty and then you’re like, “oh, but it’s too hard”, so you do nothing.
– vent over
I have an adjacent vent and that is I hate how companies put so little effort into the UX of their mobile web pages. Privacy concerns aside, I would still prefer not to have 100 apps on my phone and just use web pages; but my bank’s web page suuuuucks and so well, I have the app.
I swear this is purposeful for a lot of websites; they make the mobile site run terribly to push people onto the app instead, presumably because they can collect more data that way.
Yeah, fair enough. I just deal with the bad user experience of the mobile website because I absolutely refuse to use the app.
I don’t care. I will not put that spyware on my device.
