Unfortunately the reviews on Trustpilot and posts on Reddit make it painfully obvious that their customer service is basically nonexistent. Combined with the typical random account-closing most fintechs are known for, this is not a reliable option.

Looking at this comparison, iCard might be an option if you desperately need a way to use NFC payments on your phone. Reviews are good, but it appears to be a prepaid system. Lots of fees to get lost in, too.

But old school might be just fine, too. I just realized my card does fit into my phone case!

Love that you have to specify it's a joke because someone here would legitimately try to help otherwise

Hold up aren't you the person who ditched the U.S. for Britain like a month ago?

Hope you get a job soon, keep on searching! Miracles happen when you least expect them :)

People that don't have quark are simply uncultured barbarians.

Sorry.

From now on whenever I talk about Android with Google Play Services I'll refer to it as the "shit sandwich OS"

It's possible to submit questions already. Getting a feeling there'll be some uncomfortable ones; we'll see if they dare to engage with those.

A lot of the frustration that people have stems from Firefox's deeply flawed financing model, whereby the focus can never be solely put on the quality of the browser. Personally, with Google now being recognized as a monopolist and Mozilla in danger of losing 85% of its funding, I hope they can adopt Thunderbird's financing model (i.e. donations).

Now that they're not doing fundraising for lawmaking and/or grassroots activism because their advocacy team shut down, I hope they'll get a few people together and start to raise money from the user base.

This could be a very positive change for Mozilla if they play it right.

Wow, you just... described the problem we had on our Windows PCs that I never managed to describe

I use Gramophone from F-Droid for playing MP3 files which are in folders. One of the tabs in Gramophone allows you to navigate your main music folder and it'll treat your folders as playlists!
