Yeah this is stupid, don't do that and create more emissions and pollution (tire and brake particulates) for shits and giggles.

I don't use wirleias headphones and don't have much use for BT at all..
There was an excellent allegory for this from Tamino many years ago that stuck with me. For those not in the know, he's a statistician who works with climate scientists (amongst other things) like Professor Stefan Rhamstorf

In fact I did it every day. One large pot of boiling hot water. The idea wasn’t to kill all the ants, or to eradicate their megalopolis in one crushing blow. The idea was simply to make it too costly, in terms of energy and time, for their complex of ant cities to be sustainable.
It worked.
After about two weeks, the ants were gone. Completely. I believe they just couldn’t stay there any more, it was just too difficult with such regular demands on repair. I don’t know whether the megalopolis died out, or they moved to a different location. But any way you look at it, I succeeded in destroying their megalopolis, because amid the continual assault of disasters, they simply weren’t able to keep up.
This is what can happen to us. Global warming isn’t going to come in one astounding assault and kill us all with one blow. It’s just going to make survival harder — a lot harder — with regular assaults like floods, droughts, heat waves, killer storms.
On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android
Here in Australia I just use a physical card for tap and go for payments etc or use cash. No need for Google Pay or bank payments app. Can log in via my bank via a web browser to move cash about or check spending.
I think you demonstrated the entire point, people prefer invasive convenience over privacy., along with flimsy justification. Not having a go, it's exactly what most people say when I query them about privacy, "It's so much eaaier and how I manage" etc etc.
Then we have your FB messenger thing. Dead lord, stop that. If they don't want to chat to me on Signal, they're obviously not my friend.
If we want to have a stable livable climate we need to.live with the emissions of the average Cuban (Professor Kevin Anderson) That allows the worlds poorest to have more emissions per capita and the worlds richest to come down a lot, and by a lot I mean a metric shit load.
How we do that and what that looks like is up to us but if we don't soon, we'll likely collapse. civilisation anyway and none if it will matter and we won't be talking about it on here.
Good on them, modern day heroes.
The defence against your claim is the Tolerance Paradox
Same here in Australia? I'm 57, I'm one of the youngest around, dude I bought the place off was 87 and moving into a retirement hone.
No need to worry, next decade 35! Enjoy the 30 while you can. To misquote Yazz, "The only way is up! Baby'
