The gist: Android phones come with Google Wallet where you can load up tickets and payment, loyalty, & transit cards to use w/contactless or barcode readers. In the US, you also get the GPay/Google Pay app where you can do peer-to-peer payments and link your bank account(s) to see insights. This was going to be Google’s bank offering before that fell through. They’re shuttering the latter to focus on Wallet.
@cassidy@LukaszHorodecki google is taking away my ability to send people money via google pay because I refuse to carry around a computer on my person that I do not have administrative access to.
Has bluesky ever changed their stance on "FUCK the fediverse we're making our OWN fediverse HAHA!!!" bullshit?

I don't see how they go from here without at least leveraging mastodon. They needed to go public a minimum of 1 month ago if they wanted a chance with a walled garden.
Was getting out of the shower and started shaking out my hair... as #metalheads do. For a while now, I keep my neck straight and shake my shoulders, pivoting at the hip. My lower back has been fucked so the quick reaction was to shake my head at the neck.
Is it time to recognize I'm aging or should I just grab a morning beer and crank up the #metal ? Oh that's right, I'm not drinking these days either.
When you start getting close to the age of old people, shit starts getting weird.

@TheMetalDog I shaved my head a couple weeks ago after having long hair for most of my adult life, and it's so weird not having to shake out my hair after a shower
Computer just switched off at random, for the second time today. This time, it happened simultaneous with a power flux event (the air conditioner halting).
