I just want to scan a LNURL, pay and go. No app, no ID, no question.

With parking - I can't win, I need to park, and there is no other option anymore 🤬 Menu - I ask to talk, if not - I leave the restaurant Feedback - ignore Already had an adventure at my local pharmacy when the asked me to download an app - I showed them my special dumb phone and asked to help me ...

Exactly. Technology should be a tool we choose to use, not a gatekeeper we’re forced to obey. If paying for parking, ordering food, or simply existing requires an account, an app, a phone number, and a trail of data, convenience has quietly become dependency. The real freedom isn’t having a di...

If you want to bitch about anti-intellectualism, stop fucking being anti-intellectual nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzptwpf7366kgg2mwchqypt5m87lq7vu666q8anz5x6qp0h60m2d0pqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzp5yjle5jjgqgv4m0kczj84hxdfsw2cfet533wmm7jc5dcspm0kzpnzkuj4

I tell people I don't at apps, which frustrates them because they built their business world around an app. I'll find another way if an app is involved.

Tell me about it 🚗🚗🚗

Was on holiday in the uk recently. Had to download an app to pay for parking only I couldn’t because my App Store account is not Uk based. What a shit show.

If something is closed source, you are downloading malware.

nostr:nprofile1qqs2ms205wk4jzzkmk9cpq2axelhc8n8xkksplvc4pksqta7n76ntcgts2qz5 the parking meter is the tell, because it took coins from anyone and remembered nothing afterwards. every replacement works fine, it just needs to know who you are first.

This.

I did pay for parking without downloading an app. The next day I went to the website again and the cookies remembered me and I didn't have to fill everything out.

Can be whatever you want to be

I don't want to download the app just because my insurance provider sold my policy to another company that just pays if I download the app!

You're not alone in that! Too many people seethe but believe they must comply, or that it was always like this. I keep a dumbphone to "prove" I can't install their app (I also have a smartphone), and I carry a prepaid low-value giftcard for those times I have to provide a credit card to people who ...

Royal mail no longer write on their 'missed parcel' slips, wanted me to scan qr code to find out it was behind the bin 🙄

```Junghuhn saw an immense field entirely covered with skeletons, and took it to be a battlefield.

FUCK YEAH!!!! PREACH!!!

The crazy Pigs don't want you to not want to. They are such a bunch of Fucks.

I just wouldn't comply with them. No app is going on my phone that is mandated to me, they probably won't like the fact its rooted anyway. If I have to create an account to see the menu I'd probably ask for a physical menu. If I then get told there is none i'd walk. For the parking if there is no...
