When I don’t have the time to enable sheltered apps, I use Firefox with uBlock and AutoCookieDelete to watch the links
Last time I did this was a few hours ago

Characters in the title are not the regular ones making it look like a spam mail, no link, description sounds like corpo LLM. If there really is some podcast somewhere, I think it deserves better

Yeah, I was wrong

Is there a limit to one-time cards

There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app

Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer

It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps

FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course

We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps

most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps

Huh? All the other banks I use support it

But you’re right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it’s not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK

WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven’t used that
Revolut is just another bank. It’s just a little less behind the times than most

I’m not sure what “tap to pay” is and I haven’t used privacy.com. But you can attach your Revolut card to NFC in phone. Without going through Google Wallet
It also issues one-time cards that get destroyed after one use
In general it’s pretty handy, even if as pre-paid account

But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer

access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone

I had similar setup but I was using obsidian and pcloud. Syncing up&down was done by scripts using rclone/roundsync (android). Script part might be harder to achieve using windows

But I came here to say that I finally decided to test syncthing and it’s so much easier! And just works. Now pcloud is rather a backup and sharing than gateway

WONTFIX: Works as intended

Depends. I’ve found that it was able to explain to me (about Spanish) why, when and how to use this form or the other. But it won’t come up with a plan of lessons. And the level of support will depend on the amount of resources available for the language you want to learn

Two way as in “upload too” or “another share from other device”?

I create a Directory, and that directory and it’s files become available to network

So basically you want to set up an ftp server?

You mean like LocalSend, croc, Share via HTTP or ShareX?

I think I’ve found an app some time ago that was just setting up an HTTP file server, so you could share whole directories. But I didn’t have use for it and I forgot the name

No, that is actually useful. Blocking access for anonymous users is not

If anything, the boom of LLMs like copilot and chatgpt actually shows the power of open source and open access to information. Underlying algorithms would mean nothing without open source, open access to stackoverflow, forums, etc

Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure

Personally I’m impressed it took them so long to start driving it to the ground

I moved to Codeberg

Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home

Maybe this could help?

Unless there’s a bunch of people that create open-source firmware/HAL

But even if, I think it’s still an improvement. Even if firmware is proprietary, you could flash it on “titan-compatible” chip when yours dies making your device independent from chip ownership etc

Oh gods, now I’m starting to count how much time will pass until I see an ad like that…
