I'm into #StarTrek and #scifi, #art and #design, #podcasting, #poetry, #technology, #astronomy, #EUpolitics, and tinkering endlessly with my @blog.

Trans rights are human rights.

Toots are usually in English and Luxembourgish, sometimes in German, French, Italian, or Welsh.

Sorry!

100 Jumps

Hold to charge, release to jump. Land on 100 platforms to win — but one miss and it's over. How many attempts will it take you?

@jollysea @schokopflaster Im Repair Cafe kann man dir vielleicht helfen? Gibt ja mehrere in Wien, sehr ich gerade, und Ist zumindest einen Versuch wert imho.
It's an argument for Yubikeys (or similar), but not a single one of my banks support physical keys. Heck, even the Luxembourgish one, which used to have a physical key, now uses a mobile app.
I'm lucky that I'm going to be able to ask my spouse for their credit card after work, but if I was on my own, I'd be kinda fucked. I *could* go into a store, but the only ones that physically sell phones around here are Apple (🥴) or mobile phone providers, which all just really fuck you over with contracts that I don't want.
I've tried logging into them on my tablet, and I get to various stages of the process depending on the bank, but eventually they either want me to confirm my identity via text message or via the mobile app.

My phone has died, and one problem has become immediately obvious: I cannot order a new phone, because all my debit and credit cards want me to confirm the transaction in the mobile app.

Welcome to 2026. 🙃🙃🙃

The irony of having an article from John Gruber bemoan how many websites suck when it's 2026 and this is what his website looks like on mobile.
that's right, it goes in the ~/Downloads folder
@denis As a user, that is my preferred way. Plus it really doesn't take that much work to click a dropdown and type e.g. "D" to get to the right country. (I do like dropdowns that put the most obvious country at the top though, so if you're a German shop, by all means put Deutschland first, because the odds are that's correct for the majority of people.)
@denis The problem with putting the ZIP code first is that there are 58 countries and states with the same five number format, Germany obviously being one of those. So putting in five numbers does not tell you where the customer is (you could use a combination with IP, but especially in the EU for example you will often have customers order from a store in another country, or use a credit card that's registered somewhere else, e.g. Croatia, Finland, France, Italy, also use five numbers).
