    I used vscodium for a bit but their latest C# Dev kit is locked to VS Code proper :(

    I even made a cool bash script that would download and install ms vs store extensions and all of their dependencies before hitting this roadblock (to get the ones not available on open vsx).

    Thanks for the password manager suggestions, I’ll look into them when I get a chance.

    I’ve been looking into firefox forks too.

    I would like to keep contactless via my phone as I don’t ever really carry my wallet with me anymore these days so maybe Google pay will have to stay. Bit annoying that it won’t be able to be used on whatever browser I end up going with though :(

      Yeah, there really aren’t any good contactless alternatives to Google, Apple, and Samsung.

      My current setup is reasonably good, I have a Google Watch (WiFi only) that only connects at home, and I only use the Google Watch app on a separate Android profile. The Wallet app refreshes payment tokens, and I don’t need any Google spyware running for regular purchases.

      I’m hoping some cryptocurrency or something will get widespread enough so I can have FOSS contactless payments. I don’t think the traditional finance industry will ever support FOSS payments.
