Ok, yeah, sure. No. Maybe.
My bank has a separate Push-Tan app that you use as 2fa for sending money for payments (i’m in the EU). While I’m sure there’s some workaround for the luddites and geezers (or us privacy respectin folk), I haven’t gotten that far yet. But I’ll report back when I do!
I bought a CMF1 phone and flashed /e/os on it. Mostly just to run it through the ringer and see how well it works and if it really can be a daily driver. So far, so good. Phone was on sale for 125€ during the last Black Friday. Surprisingly good phone for that price. Been using it with the various privacy focused messengers for voice calls. Haven’t stuck a SIM card into it yet. Eventually I’ll try my banking apps, which might be the sticking point as I’m not sure I can get those outside the Google App Store.
Work in progress, I guess. But no problems so far.
I’ll gladly accept a PlayStation without social features. I just want to play games. I am 100 years old. I own a mansion and a yacht.
Staying ahead of the game to avoid becoming Reese Withoutherspoon.
Meanwhile, on Epstein Island…
It’s a slippery slope. If you let the village know there’s a ship sailing the cosmos then next thing you know they’ll want the rathaus to use email instead of fax. Just best to follow the rules and keep things the way they are.
Fear of change and modernization. :)
Perhaps it was the “first in Europe” part that threw me for a loop.
I’m in Germany, installed this update on my iPad, but have not seen any mention of an ID yet. 🤷♂️
That article slurps Apple’s nutsac for having such a great moneymaking idea! Fuck ads. Tired of everything being a vessel for marketing.
Join whatever instance you want, follow whoever you want, and most importantly, don’t let the Mastodon HOA push you around. They lurk in all corners of the Fediverse trying to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do, which defeats the whole idea.
They already do this with people who keep getting caught driving hammered. Just slow the fuck down, Andretti. Would be a non-issue. You take the car, they can’t go to work like good little indentured servants. 🤣
Frankfurt am Main, Nied
I had to sign up for DSL this week in Frankfurt, DE as my neighborhood didn’t have cable or fiber internet. Don’t think that we’re gonna be cloud-ready any time in the next 50 years. DSL. Frankfurt. Major city.
That’s pretty much the endgame here.
It’s missing a late-career/life-stage GG Allin companion in a jar. Which would be hilarious and pretty much the only way I’d buy one of these worthless things.
Might be down for this if it supports Ghosts ‘n Goblins. Or Hotline Miami 2. 😵💫
I still use LocalSend fairly often. Works better for large groups of files. But for internet, Destiny is pretty awesome at getting the job done, even with large files.
Was getting great use of the Destiny File Transfer client for a while. Localsend as well. Great for loading up the mobile devices with movies and music, with little fuss.
You have to be a special kind of dummy to even want that piece of shit in the first place. Idiot tax collected. Carry on, carrion!
