    Over the last year, I've wondered how to reduce my dependency on US tech giants.

          @GeorgWeissenbacher Nice! Phones are computers after all. It's so silly that we have been collectively gaslighted to think about devices as "this is a gaming console/TV/phone/etc" when in reality it's all computers, and should be able to run any program.

            @stovis it does feel very liberating to run #Emacs on my phone 🙂

              I use it daily for over a year and have zero problems with it.

                @gemlog @GeorgWeissenbacher @signalapp No issues at all? Not even with banking apps?

                  I don't put banking on the phones, so I don't know, sorry.
                  I suppose I could log into my credit union's web site, but I don't know why I'd want to do that from my phone. I don't think they even have an app.
                  What do you do with it?

                    @gemlog @GeorgWeissenbacher @signalapp Well, lots of things: checking transactions, recharging my prepaid card, paying stuff, monitoring my investments 🙂 In fact I rarely use my bank's website, I do everything via app

                      I use my pc for things and I don't have investments to monitor or whatever. I pay the hydro and the gas on the pc.

                        @gemlog @emmecola in Europe, many banks require Apps these days to approve transactions using 2FA (even if you do all your banking on the PC).

                          I have heard that.
                          At one client I couldn't spend more than ten thousand CAD, but after I got a key with a code that changed every minute I could spend more.

                            Interesting with Ubuntu touch!

                            I have pre-ordered a Jolla phone with Sailfish OS
