This isn’t even beer, it’s a canned headache.

Fair enough. Clearly I’m not that in the loop on the details, and I agree there should be a way to use it without relying on smartphones. I don’t use a banking nor paypal app today either.

But Visa and Mastercard are making a big play to shift the European market towards the US model where their credit cards are used for everything, so time is of the essence. For that reason I’m okay with some drawbacks, because there’s at least a chance they will be addressed down the line. Also combating the payment duopoly and circumventing US-based systems are major wins for consumers already. I further hope it would hopefully over time see adoption in other countries as well as a real alternative to CCs when travelling.

Wow. I was so engrossed by the narrative that after one hour of listening to it, I genuinely felt betrayed.

I was talking about offline processing. But the 14-day return (and other consumer protections) hinge on the vendor playing along. If they don’t, your bank just says “you authorized the transaction, SOL”.

This is the reality with SEPA transactions even in cases of blatant fraud. Your bank tells you to sue the recipient in court, they won’t do a thing for you.

Money transfers are too slow, too cumbersome, and do not offer any consumer protection. They aren’t designed for POS processes or small-time transactions.

Yes, replacing PayPal is exactly what this is supposed to do, plus VESA Debit and Maestro which are already a thing of the past.

Fuck Zionists, fuck Israel. The Hague is the least for these bastards.

Because most LGBTQ+ people aren’t working class?? Bruh. Thanks for providing the reactionary take on social issues referenced in the post.

Worse. He believed them.

It looks so dumb playing coy when the whole world knows what’s up.

But whatever. At least they’re vaguely standing together against the most blatant imperialism - now that European land is immediately threatened.

“below” means the entire column below. Xavi and Tom fulfil these requirements.

You use your tablet as monitor? How does that work, KDE Connect over WiFi or something?

I do feel bad for them. These are terrible conditions to keep them in. The cage doesn’t even have a floor

“Yes, this is my emotional support firearm. Why do you ask?”

There’s basically no lactose in properly aged cheese. Too much of it will do a number on your guts regardless.

Ha, spoken as if they really learned anything from this.

I agree with the conclusion, but your toilet doesn’t simply spawn SARS viruses.

80% of the utterly ass things that Apple pushes on people are on iPhone. iOS is a purely consumer product, while macOS has a decent chunk of the prosumer market which has a lower tolerance for enshittification.

I think you have a different definition of chicken shit than most people, or I at least: “cowardly” or “very scared”.

Gold plating is used to prevent corrosion, not optimize conductivity. It matters only for the longevity of the cable.

For HDMI this is common with active optical cables.
