@kaia I do indeed refuse to use proprietary banking apps.

I do have a bank account, as the way society has been arranged, if you don't, without assistance of someone else who does, you will be homeless and starve (I wish this was an exaggeration like many claims of such).

When possible I go to physical branches, although some things require accessing the bank website, which I access as rarely as possible via a reasonably setup browser (JShelter and ublock origin (which I configure to not execute 3rd party JavaScript)) on a burner computer.

Ideally this would be something that Haketilo could handle in freedom, but I find JavaScript unusable when even doing trivial tasks and banks use fingerprinting, so you kind of need to replicate their secret API (but at least JShelter mitigates them from being able to set a fixed allowed fingerprint).

My goal is to get rid of the bank account, but unfortunately that doesn't seem achievable until I'm in a wooden shack in the forest.


I try to use cash when possible and if I store doesn't accept cash, I won't buy anything.
