Loyalty cards sharing app in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

That's looking quite promising. The main thing missing before being ready for me is filter/add by region and of course shop name. Then it can go out i think (+ give me a random code feature as the next step).

And make a new post with this, no one will notice otherwise (if you haven't already)

I personally have the skills (I hope so), but from the time standpoint it's not as great nowadays. I also don't want to write an app that would be used just by few people (the cards should also be separated by region, so even more people would be needed to start going).

When you sing up for such a card, do they usually check it? I can image some stores checking your ID the first time.

Yeah, but that you have to do that manually and share it among more people to be really secure. But yes, could be also an option.

Loyalty cards sharing app (lemmy.world)
 

Hi, I was wondering if there is an app that enables loyalty cards sharing. When you open it, you can enter your card code of the Store. Now you can use a card of any other participant who entered his own card for the Store (the backend will send a random one) and your code can be used by anyone else using the service. Usually the cards are just permanent ID (shown as a bar code), so it shouldn't be that hard to implement.

While using this, the shop would have no chance of creating a profile on you and tracking you (as the purchases would be “random”), they have these data anyway. You would only give up the data you fill in when you ask for the card.

Do you know something like this? Or am I missing something important, or do you see some major flaws in this design (I don't use loyalty cards, but sometimes they could be quite useful)? Thanks

How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Git projects and system configs are on GitHub (see etckeeper), the reset is synced to my self-hosted Nextcloud instance using their desktop client. There I have periodic backup using Borg for both the files and Nextcloud database.

What are you not sure about the Android telemetry? Or what problems in this field do you expect without a Google account?

And also courious, what type of signing does Gmail provide that others don't? You mean PGP or S/MIME?
