Yeah, biometric identification will be de-facto standard for travelling in the future and we cannot avoid it unless we want to stop travelling.

I am not said I am fine with it. But, if you don’t want to comply with their requirement. you can’t enter their country and I am sure this kind of paperless and biometric immigration check will come to many countries (UK, USA, Japan, Canada already tested it) and it is inevitable. the only workaround atm is just don’t travel abroad.

I think this kind of biometric immigration verification will come to many countries eventually. Like UK, Japan and USA already tested this kind of procedure and Singapore is just one step ahead with this full implementation. So, we just can’t avoid it. If this kind of verification concerns you a lot just don’t travel abroad.

I was there on transit hall couple of months ago and on the arrival hall everything is paperless already and all the paperwork can be done via phone or tablet. EDIT: as long as your device have a proper modern web browser. everything can be done easily.

then you don’t need to come to Singapore. their country their rules

I like bluesky especially For You feed reminds me to X and there are lots of engagement. But, mastodon is okay for niche stuffs

Yeah, I am fine with their new policies as long as Bitwarden does not mess up with data breaches or annoying feature such as one active device policy like Lastpass.

well, it is up to you. me as premium user I am fine with their change and policy as long as Bitwarden does not mess up like Lastpass with data breaches and one active device policy.

it is bearable and no captcha for VPN users (unlike google search)

the thing is this is not monopoly and it much more like duopoly between Google and brave search. So, it is hard.

not everyone want to pay though
