This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Every DRM related app afterwards: WARNING! This phone is running insecure software and is incompatible with this service.

And before you tell me just to not use Netflix on my phone, I'm talking about a government app that lets me authenticate and without which I can't read official messages or login to any government or banking service.

So if I want to survive as an adult Dane, I pretty much have to figure out which company I would like to get sodomized by, and which is less of a clingy little bitch afterwards.

Oooooor have a secondary cheap absolute trash phone that is ONLY for those shitty government auth tools. Not ideal but gives you some control again

What trash-ass country requires you to maintain a proprietary operating system and device to access government services?

They referred to themselves as a Dane, which is somebody who lives in Denmark. So the country in question is likely Denmark.

Oh. That makes sense. My brain must have passed it over thinking it was a typo (of course they're not a dog of a specific breed)

... and then hope that you don't get hardware issue warranty claim denied because of the software.

I'd love to degoogle and debullshit my phone but then I need the back app... I'd like to tap with my phone to pay, and that won't be allowed because we can have nice things.

I'd like to use a host of other apps I won't be able to use anymore...

Any solution that allows me to just use a nice phone with all the features?

put your credit card in the back of the case hah

best bet is get a phone with default android and delete default apps with ADB

I did this when I was in Japan. I didn't want to jump through all their ridiculous hoops to get tap to pay to work, so I just threw my NFC debit card into my case and called it a day. Worked 90% of the time.

Pay with a credit card, you can tap those, and then you're not inviting one of the tech giants to monitor your purchases for no reason.

Just get a case with a card holder on the back, tap away

I think NFC payments work in Graphene

@[email protected] Sorry I can't figure out how to reply in thread, made an account just to tell you you can get a nøglebrik/kodeviser for MitId. It's a fully offline TOTP thing that you can use instead of the app. I never even installed the app :)
