    Meanwhile people literally can’t pay their electricity bills. Kier zero-privacy Starmer really prioritising the important things here. Time to look at graphene OS

      As someone who has used grapheneos for a long-long time I would like to warn you. Once you go graphene it’s hard to go back.

    Don’t worry they’ll never sell your data for ads like Google.

    Whilat I would prefer this hadn’t happened, this is by far the best implementation I’ve seen so far. Whilst I appreciate not everybody has a credit card, it’s much, much better to use a form of checking like that which has both an expiry date and a cancellation procedure, unlike a government ID which contains multiple pieces of information which you can’t really change (like your date of birth and a photo)
