They might be printed on there, but as long as it looks like it has wifi (pointy units or the wifi symbol on your phone), people will buy it.

802.11 isn't anywhere near common knowledge. That's why it was named WiFi and trademarked to begin with.

SirQuackTheDuck ,

Hey, don't embereress them for bad spellling! That's not naice

SirQuackTheDuck ,

The former, unfortunately.

SirQuackTheDuck ,

We have a fee-free bank-to-bank transfer system that is based on pre-digital technology that takes 2-3 business days. We often call it "direct deposit" or automated clearing house (ACH).

Ah, right, kinda like SEPA Credit Transfer. You do need a persons IBAN which is a bit long, but their name is validated so you usually send it to the right person.

Now, we could probably make this payment system instantaneous relatively effortlessly

Ooh, cool, kinda like SEPA Instant Credit Transfer, which transfers money within ten seconds to bank accounts using the above mentioned number.

This is all fine and dandy for most people because they simply can't imagine doing things a more consumer-friendly way

And that's why, in the Netherlands, Tikkie took the country by storm.
It is an app that allows you to use iDEAL (a web-based payment system, soon rolled out in Germany and Belgium as Vero) to send money to friends. Usually takes one pin and three taps to send it, and have it instantly appear on the account of the recipient.

SirQuackTheDuck ,

Wait? Sex work should be regulated to prevent freedom of choice in clients? That seems a little counter-intuitive if you ask me

SirQuackTheDuck ,

I would expect that that 90's car would eventually be able to be converted to hydrogen combustion. That would save on pumping up petrol (if the hydrogen is not generated with petrol) and it would not cost yet another car to be created.

How do I setup my own FOSS shopping website for my business?

Hello, I don't have much experience in self-hosting, I'm buying a ProtonVPN subscription and would like to port forward. I have like no experience in self-hosting but a good amount in Linux. I'm planning on using Proxmox VE with a YunoHost VM. I already have a domain name from Njalla. I'm setting up a website for my computer...

SirQuackTheDuck ,

You can't get around JavaScript, it's impossible to build a functioning online store without some kind of JS.

Well, sure you can. It will just be a pain to use for your users, especially when validation comes into play.

But a simple list with an "add to chart" button really won't need any javascript.

SirQuackTheDuck ,

You don't have to be PCI compliant for stuff like bank transfers or other forms of payment. Credit cards aren't the default payment method everywhere.

Maybe it's pay on pickup, or just a simple mail with sepa wire transfer instructions.

Also, the PSP can still use JS but your site still doesn't need to have it. Services like Mollie and Stripe offer checkout environments they host, meaning you still don't have to use JS on your site.

SirQuackTheDuck ,

You don't. They're usually posting awareness campaigns that link to government sites.

I've opted the example to elsewhere, but they'd be like "bought a house? Find out how the taxes work on (link)"

SirQuackTheDuck ,

The posts aren't constraining the information though.
They're effectively advertisements linking to the information (advertising they have info for you to read).

The information itself is public and freely accessible.

SirQuackTheDuck ,

Nah, more like deleting explorer.exe.

There's isn't really a Windows equivalent for this, as Windows doesn't give you control on this level.

It'd be as if you could delete services.msc but also the runner behind it.

  2. Money
  3. Money

Uhh.....

SirQuackTheDuck ,

Nah, you've seen NPCs do this.

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

SirQuackTheDuck ,

Yeah, this is likely something that's configured on an OS level to talk to some server when being sold.

However, note that SIM cards can have a flag that might enable this app (given how much power sim cards have over phones)

Note: no source, just assumptions

Edit: second note: this app isn't present on my EU OnePlus Nord.

    Sometimes I miss the times where you could download Limewire Pro using Limewire

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    If it were chmod 1777 it would be your mom after everyone had had their fun.

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    The latter is still done by old code and outdated management that thinks disabling the clipboard is "more secure". It's fucking infuriating.

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    that's what I call innovation

    Well, yeah, but both maglev and vacuum are high maintenance. Doing both seems like asking for constant downtime due to failures.

    Unless he pumps and dumps them, selling them after the IPO

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    Better than those circumchanned Americans.

    SirQuackTheDuck , (edited )

    Maybe that SkyShowtime - being inspired by the likes of of Netflix and Amazon Prime - announced it'll be raising prices and adding an ad-powered "cheaper" tier.

    Streaming services have become what cable was all those years ago: ad-powered, overpriced, low quality entertainment.

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    This is Windows 11 though

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    Yes, that was Blackbird Technologies in 2019 (it's mentioned in the article).

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    The Dutch railroads seem to run near all displays on Linux.

    But then as soon as a city wants to add something to the station, there's a windows lockscreen every other month.

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    I disagree

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    Not just the output. One could construct that training your model on GPL content which would have it create GPL content means that the model itself is now also GPL.

    It's why my company calls GPL parasitic, use it once and it's everywhere.

    This is something I consider to be one of the main benefits of this license.

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    Yes, now gimme that brain of yours. My comment was GPL too.

    Making a PDF that’s larger than Germany (alexwlchan.net)

    Some version of this has been floating around the Internet since 2007, probably earlier. This tweet is pretty emblematic of posts about this claim: it’s stated as pure fact, with no supporting evidence or explanation. We’re meant to just accept that a single PDF can only cover about half the area of Germany, and we’re not...

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    There's probably an emacs plugin for that.

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    Ehh, in the Netherlands you need to report all bank accounts, home value, income from salary and contracts and a fuckton more.

    It's all done via a web app made by the Tax Authority.

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    Ah, a fellow user of the Kitchen Gun? Good to meet you

    SirQuackTheDuck ,

    As said by noodlejetski, iMessage usage in the EU is very low. It hasn't been excempt completely though, it's pending investigation.
