Samsung/Android/Google Pay/Wallet thing never gained traction despite having access to the chip is exactly what we’ll see if the chip just get opened up free for all.

You realise that in the UK and a lot of other countries people mainly pay by contactless and while you can do that with just your bank card, many link it to Google/Apple pay in their phone? The Amex UK app used to offer their own implementation as well for contactless payment, but they also supported Google pay/wallet so eventually decided to drop their Amex app implementation of contactless payments and just told people to use Google pay. Don't equate them not gaining traction in your country with that being the case in general, especially if you're from the US, where banking technology seems to be 15-20 years behind a lot of the time.

Yeah, it's not FOSS, but sleep as android is great. You can set various "captchas" that need to be completed to turn the alarm off, you can connect it to smart home stuff to turn on/off lights or open curtains and the general customisability for the alarm settings is extensive.

I'm using the KDE "Mountain" wallpaper on my desktop, which seems to be based on an image of the Annapurna massif in Nepal by Daniel Leone on Unsplash

My phone wallpaper is this mountain one from Alex Rainer on Unsplash (I like dark wallpapers like this for OLED screens):

Unsplash and pixabay can be good for finding high-res images to use as wallpapers
Sidenote: if anyone wants I can share the high res KDE wallpaper image, it disappeared from my system when I tried out a plasma 6 RC and I had to extract it from a different system to get it back

I believe they're referring to vehicle tax that you have to renew each year

If theres not a project near you then im not 100% sure wether they sell you energy from their projects or source renewables from the exisiting market at market rates

You sign up for a project that they have in the pipeline and then choose how much you want to invest in the project, based on the percentage of the power produced by the project. Then after paying your investment over several months, you will own a part of the co-operative that owns the wind turbines/solar panels. Ripple get the project built and set up the co-operative that will own the project. The energy generated is taken off your electricity bill, but you still have to pay standing charges and the like. There's several electricity providers that work with ripple and allow you to credit the electricity generation against your electricity bill, but the main one currently is Octopus energy.

Star Trek

Not sure if you know but there's already Lower Decks, but that is more comedic, Rick & Morty style rather than trippy visuals
