Russians themselves were willing (or were ordered instead of asked) to go die in WW2 against Nazi Germany. Was this a "sheer hatred of germans" that was due to "germanphobic propaganda"? Perhaps a bit, but there cleary was a worthy cause behind it all.

If it meant an end to the fascist regime of Russia, it'd be worth it. We all die anyway at some point, why not die for a good cause then.

Is there some sort of an overview of all the components that are required for the whole system to work? Are there opportunities for new PSPs to emerge and try to topple the existing ones with better and cheaper service?

There are couple multi-billion euro companies (all the Payment Service Processors, Visa, Mastercard, etc) that would necessarily become several million euro companies if Taler was successful though. That's a lot of concentrated power that doesn't want Taler to succeed.

I'm over 40 and I usually stand up about half of my working day. But I wouldn't want to stand in an airplane because it's cramped.

What most people don't seem to understand is that every Android phone is a Google phone unless you go through the degooglification.

I would (and did) just use Apple phones if it weren't for GrapheneOS.

Banking apps generally speaking work, it's the NFC payments via google pay that don't and probably never will.

No, the hardware of Fairphones lacks certain security features.

I realize that I'm an asshole for telling them what to do but here's what they need to do: They should drop all development of their own Android and put significant resources to making their next phone work with GrapheneOS.
