Thanks to Axel Springer media (owner of Bild, Welt and Politico) who constantly blamed him for everything and destroyed one of the best politicians Germany ever had.

Even George W. Bush or Richard Nixon would be a godsend right now - at least they weren’t actively undermining NATO and the US economy.

Sports rights holders are bleeding money due to IPTV got even more greedy and they own the politicians.

I mean he wore a tan suit, no wonder the world is going to shits.

Where’s the 14 second TikTok Summary?

Grifters gonna grift. The whole admin is a conglomerate of grifters.

It’s always the ones you expect the most.

Look into self hosting pangolin on VPS. I have it hosted at infomaniak.ch - it’s basically a self hosted cloudflare tunnel, so you are not exposing your IP. These days this is absolutely preferred over using dyndns and exposing your IP.

They can always buy oil from their American friends if their infrastructure keeps failing

Der Dönermann meines Vertrauens ist Kapitalist und macht alles zu Geld was er in die Finger bekommt.

As far as Neobanks like wise or similar are concerned, mostly yes.

We also have the right (and to some extent even the duty) to move away from US services.

I started out with a list of 36 US services and apps I was using daily in February, now I am down to 7. Sure it’s a lot of work, but by the end of the year I will be mostly de-americanized apart from having to rely on iOS or Android due to the fact that no alternatives that can be used as a daily driver exist.

To access my banks website I need to authorize the login with the mobile app, there is no alternative to using either iOS or stock Android to get in - NONE.

Doing transactions at the bank, even at the terminal is not free and also ridiculously inconvenient…

As far as mobile payments go, i live in a country with its own currency so my only option to get favorable exchange rates in the EU is using a virtual card from a Neobank which only works with Apple or Google Pay.

We need rules regulating that banks do not rely on closed services to function - period.

Suggesting to use a second used phone for banking is ridiculous, for most of us banking and mobile payments are literally the most important functions of a phone after getting messages and email.

It’s called extortion, the president is a mobster in chief.

Cause it’s a European / national security concern in the long run.

Did he also slam him?

Asking for another journalist who needs a clickbaity headline.

Meine Schweizer Banking Apps wollten auf Lineage OS alle gar nicht, Twint ging auch nicht und die eTax Software vom Kanton hat gar nicht erst gestartet.

SBB hat kein easyRide erlaubt, …. Es ist einfach erbärmlich was da abgeht. Es ist ja nicht so, dass diese Unternehmen dadurch, dass sie Ihnen komplett unbekannte APIs und Systeme nutzen wirklich mehr Sicherheit gewährleisten können - Nein, Sie schieben einfach die Verantwortung ab und können eigentlich gar nichts Versprechen.

Maybe they can regulate themselves first as a start then. They already use Matrix, so it’s not like they are completely lost regarding IT Security and FOSS.

If it’s regulated you can fine them, and if they don’t pay the fines you can send them to court.
