[–] Lets_Disco 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) "I'd rather give up all of my data to Google so that I don't have to... have the awful burden of carrying a wallet" lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 child) On the one hand, I admit this is kind of objectively silly behavior. On the other, I think it’s valuable to consider these things and the role they play in consumer/user behavior. Convenience is undeniably a major/the primary reason many users don’t do what’s best for them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uninvitedguest@piefed.ca 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) There are always trade offs. I would love to main a Linux phone, as I'm sure many here would. But the present trade offs are too great. NFC payments are extremely convenient, especially when managing multiple cards - some of which are virtual. It's a service I had, then went without for awhile, and then appreciate having back again. I understand my initial comment makes it seem like I never carry a wallet true - which is not true - and liking Google Wallet is akin to saying "but I just like smoking" (in this community). It's great that you don't find it as convenient, which means the trade off isn't as substantial for you. However for my 5 days a week commuting it's a load off. permalink fedilink source parent
