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.

Glasses.

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).

You’re not wrong, and yet it’s the name of a fairly popular porn series where actresses exchange a cab ride for sexual favors (that’s the story idea at least).

It’s popular enough that there is a significant number of people (vulgo, “creeps”) who put Fake Taxi stickers all over their cars.

Nature religions were right and we’re all part of a single bigger organism of which every part can feel and communicate with every other part.

Bomfunk MC’s Freestyler is the peak of musical creation. (Ok, prolly no but I love coming back to it.)

(Fwiw, initially I read “triple !” (i.e. !!! or ChkChkChk) in your op comment and thought why?, that’s a great band.)

They look like the wading birds I liked seeing so much in Spanish rice paddies.
