Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

There is no chance that we own our computers unless we figure out how to setup chip manufacturing factories at the 10 million dollar price point.

Without commoditized hardware, big capital will surely be in control of software.

I can buy a computer, disable secure boot, install linux and then do w/e I want.

Same can be true for phones?

Sorry, no banking for you then.

No traditional banking at your parts? Actually I am informed those at your site can provide more services (more open) than the banks I have around now.

But here, no, only some bad players require a smartphone and an account to OS providers to make the bank account work.

I'm holding on to my rolling token generator like it is made of gold, they won't give me another one and force me to use their app. But the app requires a non-rooted phone or it will refuse to function. I've already asked them to give me a free phone just like they gave me a free token generator. So far no dice. Oh, and better still, for large transactions you are not allowed to use the phone app.
