That’s an absolutely valid point. I’m not American but in Ireland we get the same “foreigners are stealing our jobs” bullshit. I work in a meat processing plant. Most Irish new starts don’t last the first week.

What jobs are they stealing? Jobs we won’t do? We need immigrants, we aren’t far away from a declining population. I don’t understand how people thing that’s an issue when our entire economy is propped up on migrant workers.

That sounds like a plan I can get behind. Ireland could do with a bit more coastline if you guys are buying.

Nah its not just the US. I’ve run into similar in Ireland. I went into the supermarket to pick up pads and a tub of ice cream. Passed them to the young fella behind the counter who then leans over and whispers “do you need me to put them in a paper bag for ye?”

I can’t use my banking app on lineage and those wonderful folk at the bank have made it so that you cant confirm online purchases without.

Are banking apps likely to function?

I still use it for a couple of hobby related things although I could probably use discord for some of it.

Whilst I am using lemmy it’s not quite hitting the spot so I use it less. I’m getting an awful lot more reading done.

I live in Ireland and was fairly slow to adapt to this cashless mularkey but my mind was blown when visiting Germany how many places were cash only.

I wouldn’t necessarily say shills. I can’t say I know the ins and outs of app development but I’m sure it could come about that a particular dev doesn’t have the know how or capital to start a new project.

What I do know is that I’ve worked for companies who’s morals I don’t approve of to make ends meet.
