Tap to pay was relatively common even 10 years ago in US cities. I've been tap to pay almost exclusively for 5 years.

Mind you the US is BEHIND on tap to pay technology compared to other countries.

Tap to pay with the phone is also much smoother because it emits the NFC signal vs the card which is just inlayed in the card via the chip.

Much smoother process.

The requirements for Linux to have your "needs" would make me not want it,

This is a ridiculous thing to say about something as frivolous and nonmandatory as NFC tap to pay & being able to use a Maps app in your cars dash.

Absolutely must haves for me personally, I use each probably daily. I don't carry any cards with me and exclusively use tap to pay.

Accuse is really sugar coating it for Dems. Both parties have covered up severe health problems of the presidents, that's what tends to happens when you have 70+ yr old Presidents.

Me when Claude code writes bullshit I don't need

Definitely still worth a watch, you really don't have to know anything about soccer.

There are other Appviews on the atProto that have chosen not to implement checks that have full access to Bluesky posting/data.

I've noticed over the years it ebbs and flows with the broader "societal mood". People are much more on edge nowadays for rightful reasons, but it creates a pretty toxic environment on the internet.
