Given current technology the choices are to either hold something that a hundred other people held that day before you or to use your own phone with an app.
Applications do have choices when it comes to permissions. Just because it’s an app doesn’t mean it has to be intrusive.
That said, there’s no way a national chain would put out an app without collecting data.
Certainly this could be done with QR codes and a phone app?

It’s about oil and profits. They want us to need a car to go anywhere. More cars, more oil, more profits, RIGHT?
My desktop PC kicked the bucket after 10 years a few months back and I ended up using my Steam Deck as my primary computer for about a month. In that time I learned that Linux isn’t so bad.
If forced to either pay a subscription for Windows or switch to Linux the choice seems simple for me at this point.
It’s a handheld that can play basically any game through the previous generation and even some current AAA titles. If you have a steam library already, most of your games are suddenly playable on the go. The hardware is open with spare parts easily obtainable so that you can repair it yourself if you drop it. Valve is very engaged with maintaining and updating the software to be an enjoyable experience whether you prefer console or PC. Because it is subsidized by software sales the hardware costs less and drove down prices in the industry for competing products. When my 10-year-old motherboard gave out in my desktop, I was able to use the Steam Deck as my primary PC for a month while I took my time putting together a new computer. Also, you are very correct that it has had a meaningful impact on Linux gaming.
In my opinion, there’s a lot to like.

I heard it’s not working well with external displays. That’s a no-go for me until external displays are working.
You cared enough to reply. You seem really upset about this topic. Everything ok?
