For me it was a convergence of things all at the right moment: Edward Snowden just happened, I just bought a new phone (to experiment with) and I saw a comment on Reddit detailing some privacy tips/tricks which made it seem very easy to get on board

From what I've heard (feel free to add to it or to correct me):

Our technology uses normal conductors. Computers, gaming consoles, smartphones etc are all limited in their performance by the power of the conductors. Super conductors existed already, however they require (near to) freezing temperature. That obviously makes it impossible to use those superconductors in normal daily technology.

If however we could have superconductors who can work at normal temperature and don't require extreme cold, we could have superconductors that massively increase the efficiency of our technology (more efficient smartphone battery life, better electric cars etc)

If you want to avoid this happening again, this guide here as a lot of alternatives and suggestions.

Some are fairly easy (switch to Firefox) while others might be slightly harder (like maybe convincing your friends to stop with discord and use something else instead) but if you'd like to have more privacy, it's all well worth it :)

Monero.

Otherwise I don't know if you'll find an open source alternative to Google wallet, since the banking system overall is very much the opposite of open source

Is it just me or the previous green worked better? This new one feels too bright now that I look at it

Venture capitalists are truly a sociopathic kind of people. Everything they touch gets enshittyfied to the extreme

The day I trust Google for anything privacy related, is the day I’ll have lost my mind

As a general rule, I also hate monopolies
