Synchronicity is and has always been the issue. If everyone decided to stop going to work today, we'd have a 4 day work week with decent pay by the end of the month.

My debit card does not have a credit card number I can use in online forms, and thats the only card related options steam allows in my region

What I learned from this thread is that you're either in a region that allows debit as payment method, or your debit card has a credit card number. Sadly neither of those apply to me.

I took a look at it. Skrill is just Paypal with crypto. And I already excluded data brokers. I could maybe create a pipeline by buying monero, to charge my Skrill account, to then charge my Steam account. But that's just too much of a hassle when FitGirl is right around the corner.

It's called Maestro, which is owned by MasterCard. Which doesn't help however since it has no credit card number

I have never seen a visa gift card in my life but I'll keep a lookout. Thx for the suggestion

Our debit cards do not have a credit card number I could use in online payment forms.

Sadly I'm not in one of those regions. Here are my available options:

Can you use it only physically with payment terminals?

Yup. Every business has them tho. The modern terminals are barely bigger than the card itself.

I'm not sure, since I've never owned a credit card. Debit cards pull directly from your account and you have very limited credit available. Also you don't have card numbers etc. you could use online.

Paying without Google: New consortium wants to remove custom ROM hurdles (www.heise.de)
 

Pay securely with an Android smartphone, completely without Google services: This is the plan being developed by the newly founded industry consortium led by the German Volla Systeme GmbH. It is an open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with Google Play services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone.

Privacy respecting alternative to airtags (feddit.org)
 

I lost a bunch of keys today. It sucks and it's gonna cost me a lot of money to replace the locks. I want to to add an airtag-like device to my key ring in the future. However I don't know of any device that works in a similar fashion, either through bluetooth or GPS, that works with Graphene and doesn't require some kind of privacy invading online subscription.

Do you have any advice on privacy respecting alternatives to airtags?

UserChrome help - new message background color (feddit.org)
 

I've managed to customize Thunderbird to better fit my KDE theme using the browser toolbox as guide. However, the toolbox doesn't work for the new message window. I can't find out how to change the default background color there. I would appreciate If anyone could point me in the right direction. The screenshot shows the part I'm trying to modify.

403 error on every post linking to an external site (feddit.org)
 

Hi all,

I have the weirdest issue with Summit for the last 2 days. Every post with an external link produces a 403. The attached screenshot has an example.

If I copy the url from the error message I can open it just fine in my browser.

  • Summit version 1.73
  • Android version 16

Doctolib als de facto Standard für ärztliche Terminbuchungen (feddit.org)
 

Doctolib (https://www.doctolib.de/) scheint sich mehr und mehr als de facto Standard für ärztliche Terminbuchungen durchzusetzen. Als neuer Patient musste ich mich vor kurzem wehren, dass meine Kontaktdaten dort von der Praxis aufgenommen werden. Von Praxen bei denen ich seit Jahren Patient bin kriege ich nun Terminerinnerungen per SMS, obwohl ich nie eine Erlaubnis gegeben habe meine Daten mit einer dritten Partei zu teilen.

Ich stehe der zentralisierten Datenhaltung meiner Krankendaten, außerhalb der gewohnten und unumgänglichen Situation mit den Krankenkassen, sehr kritisch gegenüber. Vor allem, wenn diese Daten von einer nicht regulierten dritten Partei aus dem Ausland verwaltet werden (Doctolib ist französisch).

Wie seht ihr die Situation? Was sind eure Erfahrungen damit? Habt ihr Tipps um die Datenerhebung zu umgehen oder zu minimieren?

How to undo Firefox changes to the titlebar controls buttons? (lemmy.ml)
 

Firefox seemingly very recently shipped their own titlebar controls buttons, which worsens even further the lackluster OS integration. In the screenshot you see my regular control buttons on the window to the left (default KDE Plasma theme) and the new custom buttons Firefox is serving now.

Would anyone know how to undo that change in about:config or anywhere else?

Is the BraX3 from braxtech.net a trustworthy investment? (feddit.org)

While browsing through the privacy community, I read about the BraX3. A new privacy centric phone developed by YouTube content creator Robert Braxman.

Before I support their IndyGoGo, I'd like to get your opinions about the company and their last phone, the BraX2, which apparently didn't get the most glowing reviews.
