Yah super, running apps made by trainees or websites that takes ages to even render, if not, filled with third party assets and trackers, as well as depending running whole cloud infrastructures just to enter a museum or to see a restaurant menu L O L.

I think you don't even realize how stupid it is.

PS: I did not ever gave 1 cent to Amazon, feel "free" to do so as well.

Well choose where you want to buy cheap unlocked Android phones from.

Do you not think it takes an entire "cloud infrastructure" for the museum to take credit cards?

I think online ticketing systems are fine, and yeah they mostly require to run on a robust infrastructure. Knowing the trends, that certainly would depend on big-tech cloud infrastructure.

I don't care unless this become a mandatory de-facto standard to access public places.

Hopefully yet it is not, and people would reject that if that would become an obligation. But there's a chance that our children would not even know this is bare dumb cause it would be the norm.
