(Rant)
At somepoint, HSBC decided KDE Connect installed via F-Droid is less secure.
Then it decide non-whitelisted keyborads are a security risk. Only Gboard and Samsung Keyboard is confirmed within the whitelist.
I understand the point that risk can be introduce at various points, yet this is simply too much. Yeah there are people phone infected by malware but from Play Store. Not a single time I heard one ever happened on F-Droid distributed apps, at least not from the official repo. Also, I will put more trust on an open source keyboard than any proprietary keyboard.
Furthermore, I’m shocked that an app can read my app list, and current keyboard (introduced in Android 14). This just make building a profile much easier as I belive everyone almost have an unique set of apps they like. I don’t think any apps need such functionality. Why the f it needs to care what input devices I uses? This make me worry more about untold (aka burried deep in Privacy Policy) data collection.
I don’t think normal people use cash over the phone. I think you’re thinking Star trek teleporters?
Why are you ordering stuff over a phone call and what does a smartphone app have anything to do with it lol
If you mean ordering from a phone shopping app, 1) you can just enter credit card details into the app, you don’t need your bank’s software, 2) you can just use a website on a computer
Why would you pay over the phone? Maybe I’m missing something but you can enter your card info or you can go in person and pay.
At least that’s what I do personally. I’ve always found mobile phone based payments problematic. However, if there is ever some sort of Foss payment system I’m ready to give it go. (Taler)
Is it that common to pay over the phone? Do you give them some sort of code? How does that work?
