Ive only been with tuta for a couple of months and so far, no complaints. But I would keep an eye out due to Nextcloud and their partnership if your someone who is anti-cloud.

Oh im definitely not forgettung android and how crazy they have gone too with their phones.

Just only difference between them and apple ,at least i can tinker with an older device or get something degoogled.

These phones though dont have batteries you can change out, unless you break the phone just to open it.

i used to be an iphone user before they went to complete bs on their phones, along with the shady politics. Looks like im triggering the fanboys with them defending a product that basically repeats every year and will break in about 1-2 years, huh?.

So i cant throw shade at a company that supports mass consumerism and extreme unaffordable prices, with a product that has basically been the same since the iphone 13-15 but with Ai and a bigger screen?

There has to be more feaaible options than this, especially one that shouls make sense. What is the different than thw iphone 17/18 or a cyberdeck that is the same size but not evem a third of the cost of this phone?

Im not treating anything im saying as fact, just it makes no sense on the price point and mindset of where these phones are going(if you want to call it a phone at this point) . All these phablets do is just encourage consumerism and act less like a phone, i just have a problem with the company and the product, not whoever wants to use it.

You want to use it,cool, thats on you.

Along with the increased prices, its mind boggling to me that people want to pay rent prices for a stupid phone that aint gonna last 2 years.

Thats how a phone should be, hence i went to android cause of that. Tired of Apples BS

This is basically a tablet people, get a dam tablet, especially one that isnt 2000 USS. 😑

What?? Thats crazy, i didnt provide any of that making my account, just my social security number.

Im mostly on Lemmy cause i can get news on whats going on in the US cause our media is trying really hard at censorship.

Im not gonna do all that extra work to prove any legitimacy, thats not my problem. I havent been on here for long, but the negativity is not needed and it makes it hard to recommend this place.

Because cash is not trackable(depending on where its going) . Our government wants to track our currency, even the digital ones like Bitcoin.

The only places we have that accepts cash still are anything retail/resturants or your paying for parking fees at State Parks or certain locations where you access hiking trails. Everything else is card or using Google/Apple Wallet.

Thats all im literally doing. Im posting about my experience and wanting to encourage conversation.

Nothing in what im saying is paid advertising and im also getting familiar with the degoogled space so im just saying what works and what dosent.

This is an example of people not just fucking reading and im tired of that shit. It dosent encourage discussion, just resentment and avoidance in even wanting to post. We got bigger problems in Lemmy but people pick and choice what to be annoyed about.

Im not doing a fucking ad, what the hell am I saying sounds like an ad? Everything im giving is what im learning, my opinion and how much I like the card. Thats literally it. Im not promoting anything and im not the only one in the privacy thread that talks in this manner. People are talking about products all the time here. What makes this shit any different?

I could do that, but its still tied to my bank account if i use the same bank, unless i use a different bank. I got really interested in Wise cause on how easy it is to move and hold foreign currency. You got your risk of that other account be tampered with too. Im still learning on what to use since I dont want to carry my main debit card.

Im sorry, I didnt mean to make it sound directed towards you.

Im just annoyed cause everything is an annoyance to alot on Lemmy but some be talking about the craziest shit on here. Its hard to make any post on here.

Omg… freaking heaven forbid i mention it as an opinion. You people in this community are extremely sensitve. 😑😑

I dont understand it either. I sometimes honestly dont get this community, im not posting anything crazy. Im putting this out there cause for US card holders, besides Privacy.com, we dont have other options for buffer cards.

Wise is a legit company and they have been in business since 2011 and i put this under the PRIVACY community for a reason. Or maybe its because i talked about Privacy.com in a bad light. Theyre under fire because theyre completely changing their privacy policies and want to hold data they shouldnt be holding.

I think thats there for transparency. They want to make sure your accounts are legit, which i honestly dont mind.

It does. Ive been looking for something like this for a while cause the rise of AI is making me paranoid of carrying my debit card.

Yes, but (someone actually mentioned it) it acts as a buffer to my debit card. Im using it also cause im about to start traveling alot, its cheaper to hold different curriencs and easier to carry it instead of carrying a buttload of cash and looking hella suspecious.

Sounds very Google-like to me… cant even open the browser just by itself and something is tracking you.
