      I hate that this is how our legal system has evolved. Trial courts mean nothing when a corporation loses, because invariably an appeal is filed, and if the circuit court upholds a ruling, well, time to talk to SCOTUS.

          Not at all … it’s just that corporations, unwilling to take no for an answer, have functionally unlimited funds to throw toward several rounds of escalating court cases while defendants … don’t. It creates an inherently lopsided situation the legal system wasn’t explicitly designed for, but now this is just standard.

          Companies walk into these trials essentially seeing the first round as a rehearsal.

    Glad I’m running GrapheneOS. The only thing Google play services is allowed to do is validate apps and give me notifications.

        Really just depends, one of my banking apps doesn’t work, but another bank’s app does work. When it comes to payment apps, I only use PayPal, which unfortunately doesn’t work for me either. They have a long GitHub list keeping track of what apps have been reported to be working.

        Not OP but I’m also running GrapheneOS. After some initial difficulty I had with one of my banking apps I got everything to work just fine.

        What does not work unfortunately is paying via google wallet or revolut.
