    LinkedIn, banking (web site with a hardware TAN generator), tickets for trains etc. (I always carry a hard copy, it doesn’t need a battery) all work on an open source notebook or desktop.

    I never use anything from Meta, but WhatsApp does work in a browser.

    Most of my payments are automatic/direct debit. Banking cards come with NFC.

    I never use an app if a web site is available.

    So, in 2025 in Europe you’re not a pariah if you don’t use a smartphone. Both my smartphone (currently in airplane mode with WLAN on) and my tablet are on GrapheneOS. Before it was Lineage OS, and before that Cyanogen Mod. My workstation is on Linux, and always has been.
