I never bothered with banking apps. (Outside of the virtual debit card app from my bank. That one did install successfully. However, I never got try out in store because it deleted my virtual card after a few days and I didn’t care enough to set it up again.)

I use Calyx on a Fairphone 4. It’s not totally degooglified, since it comes with MicroG which is used to connect to Google services. I use Aurora Store and a couple of original Google Apps like Gboard too (none of my Google apps can access the internet, since they’re behind the built-in firewall). It works well except call functionality which can be wonky and there’s the issue that a lot of apps from Play don’t work well with MicroG. I only use a small selection of Play apps though, so it doesn’t bother me too much.

A mimosa is excellent for this purpose. And it’s pretty too.

Sixpack of beer? (Optionally alcohol-free, if his bad behavior is related to alcohol abuse.)

X11 is not made with security in mind. At the point where you disable Wayland, you can basically use native apps rather than flatpaked apps.

There’s no Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. blockchain, after all.

Microsoft Azure used to have a blockchain (aaS) implementation, iirc. It just wasn’t useful to their customers or profitable to them.

I think IBM also used to dabble in blockchain tech.

Not a single mention of “blockchain”, “decentralization”, “DeFi”, “dApps”, “NFTs”, DAOs", or “aping in” because “WAGMI”. I am disappointment.

Is your company mandating Push Authentication or are you entering 6-digit codes?

If it’s the former, MS Authenticator is the only option.

If it’s the latter, you can use any TOTP app you like, e.g. Aegis.

Push Authentication in the MS Authenticator is Microsoft’s proprietary thing. And I think that’s probably what we’re talking about here.

You’re right, I forgot about the fact that there’s a literal translation. But besides being gender-neutral, both sayings mean the same, no?

My main point was that many Germans now regularly use the pear-tree malapropism, however.

German for “like father, like son” is “the apple doesn’t fall far off the tree trunk”. But many people nowadays use “the apple doesn’t fall far off the pear tree”, which is a variant that I think originally was supposed to suggest illegitimate fatherhood.

Yes, that’s where it’s from.

I guess we use “Making gold from straw” (German).

Afaiu it, he added a second package with (quote) “all the crap” later, after the storm.

And no, it wasn’t just the favicons feature that was removed (which like … is that really such a big privacy issue that you need to remove it from the binary?). Support for Yubikey was removed as well — which is not a privacy issue. The reasoning mentioned by the Debian maintainer is that all of these features might turn out to be security issues in the long run. Thus, in his view, a password manager application must do nothing but provide access to the database within the app.

I find it an interesting example of diverging upstream, maintainer, and user interests in any case.

If you are going to write “user issue” in the future, maybe stop and think. You might be calling someone dumb and be defending bad design at the same time.

It’s extremely convenient and not particularly safe. I love it, my FBI agent loves it, and my Russian hacker friend loves it too.

With these types of Captchas, I always wonder whether I need to click on e.g. square C2 that has a tiny bit of the seat padding on it.
