Ich selbst habe keine Lust mehr auf kaputte Zahlungssysteme und kaufe außer in Ausnahmefällen online nur noch, wenn es noch echte Vorkasse oder Lastschrift ohne Mittelsmann gibt. GNU Taler ist aktuell so ziemlich die einzige Hoffnung auf ein nicht kaputtes System.

"Was fehlt Wero, um eine Alternative zu Paypal zu sein?" Mit Paypal kann man auf jedem Gerät mit Webbrowser Zahlungen abschließen mit z.B. FIDO2 Keys über Webauthn als 2FA. Wero verlangt hierzulande banking apps, die es ausschließlich in den mobilen Ökosystemen von Apple und Google gibt.

"It is built exclusively on Anthropic’s Claude and deployed as a fleet of 21 specialised agents covering compliance, fraud detection, transaction validation, financial governance and user support." Is this performance art?

Mistral's only payment method is credit cards. Aleph Alpha has no individual consumer product at all. Wero, Monnett and BeReal are Google/Apple ecosystem exclusive mobile apps.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The looming threat of Google Play Services remotely forbidding installation of these apps would always be there. Interestingly this has not been done in sanctioned countries like Russia... Yet.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Then you'd need to help millions of people at once to allow installation of apks from the web and probably navigate the additional restrictions Google Play will be imposing on so called "sideloading" soon.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Apple Smartphones would be mostly out of luck. On Android all banks would need to scramble to provide their apks on the web for the very first time. Some banks would need to remove restrictions that their apps can only be installed from the play store.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

While there is a political component, just like with sanctioned Russian banks, the American App stores would remove Wero capable apps. Is just trusting them not to do it a viable digital sovereignty strategy?

I keep reading the take "Don't make native Linux game, proton works so much better", but as long as the only windows game I still occasionally is not consistently supported and working, how am I supposed to accept that?

Broken on GE-Proton11-1 again. This is not a complaint about GE-Proton. GE-Proton10-34 is actually the only reasonably recent wine build where Warcraft 3 actually works. Not proton or wine-staging, just GE-Proton10-34.

I'm very skeptical of straight up upstreaming AI generated code, my assumption is still that it will require significant rewrites. But (presumably) for the first time in 10 years we have Valve and Chromium devs talking in the same place thanks to these patches: issues.chromium.org/issues/50600...

Über den echten Ernstfall denkt sowieso niemand nach: Dass Google und Apple gezwungen werden, auf Smartphones mit Google Play und iOS pemanent alle (banking) apps zu blocken. Die Fähigkeit hätten sie aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach, man vertraut einfach nur darauf, dass es nie passieren wird.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

AMD or Intel GPU? Because in mesa only zink (OpenGL over Vulkan) supports GL_OVR_multiview that Godot compatibility render requires. If you have a recent mesa version with zink, it should work with the env var MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink No real reason to use compatibility though.

"Nutzer von Wero greifen auf das Online-Banking oder die App ihrer Bank zurück" was heißt Online-Banking hier? Weil im tatsächlichen online banking gibt es wero by design nicht, sondern nur für android und ios user.

There is a community made tool called Envision that helps compiling and running it if you are interested in a less manual setup. Also the environment variable STEAMVR_LH=1 on monado-service will make it use SteamVR's closed source lighthouse tracking, which is generally more usable.

Wero so far has been absolutely exclusive to android and ios apps. I'm told there are some banks in the netherlands that do have a web interface for ideal and don't require an android/ios app. Whether they will actually keep this functionality when joining Wero is not officially answered afaik.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Im Vorfeld dieser Veranstaltung wurde hier auch ein Fall von Debanking aufgrund von US Sanktionen erwähnt. In diesem Kontext sollte man die Bankvertreter eigentlich schon fragen, wie jemand, der keine Google oder Apple Accounts haben kann, offiziell an die zwingend nötige Banking App kommen soll.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Habe nur das Transkript überflogen. schade, dass "Google Play", "Android", "iOS" wieder gar nicht angesprochen wird, aber dass man es "einfach in der App" aktivieren soll. Damit gefragt wird, wie man dann ohne Google oder Apple OS bezahlen soll, muss ich wohl doch selbst zu solchen Veranstaltungen.

SDL won't tell you about all the underlying OpenGL stuff, but all (?) the platform OpenGL APIs have ways to query the "current" gl context, window, etc., so if you query those right after initializing SDL, it's unlikely to not work. E.g. gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/demos...

Wie gut funktioniert Wero noch, wenn Trump Google sagt, mittels play store und Google Play Protect alle europäischen banking apps von Smartphones zu deinstallieren und die Play Integrity API alle Smartphones mit Google Play in EU als unsicher zu deklarieren? Apple hat vmtl auch ein Äquivalent dazu.

Banking apps are supposedly like 50:50 whether they run without google play and can change this without warning or recourse, even if you use a gray method to get the app in the first place, eg forum.volla.online/viewtopic.ph... Personally I never used one of those apps and don't plan to.

But are they concerned about the supposed alternatives being - officially - exclusively accessible from american app stores that - officially - require an account with them and are only accessible with smartphones that run proprietary software with full system access?

B-stock sales are so disappointing. Yea that laptop wasn't cheap when it was new. But it's a possibly pre-owned laptop with a 12 year (!!!) old CPU. And you want 282,99€ for it? Are stores *that* desperate to not sell any hardware for actually cheap no matter how old it is?

Not the AC in the room but some kind of resonance. I can live with the wooshing of cars outside the window or heaters, but higher pitched noise like this will probably always keep driving me insane. Definitely not booking in this hotel again.

Today the first ICE from Stuttgart to Frankfurt had 41 minutes delay and I missed the ICE connections. Had to wait 2 hours for the next ICE because can't take the Eurostar instead. The next ICE stranded in Aachen, again can't take the Eurostar instead.

000

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Also can @deutschebahn.com *finally* make an agreement with @eurostarnews.bsky.social that travelers *can* use the other one without buying a new ticket if the ICE connection between Frankfurt and Bruxelles fails? (Written from RE18 from Aachen to Liege where I will take an IC to Bruxelles)

I'm not against entertainment for kids of course. But why are we abandoning any quality standards for entertainment and are now training children to get addicted to wasting hours on slop that has nothing to say? Is this why mainstream movies are getting worse too?

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

On this train there's a young child getting her brain cooked by youtube kids the entire way from Frankfurt to Bruxelles. Older people have always complained about the habits of the young but I can't help but feel that this is different and that brainrot content is genuinely hazardous to our brains.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Can @deutschebahn.com maintenance maybe make sure that the ICE train onboard electronics don't produce obnoxiously loud noise for hours on end? It seems to be quite common in the door areas, less in the seating area, but trains are quite often full enough that people are there too.

My guess is too that it will be just a mirror of a full offscreen plasma session. But I'm also curious how exactly they'll do it, a regular pipewire screenshare, or perhaps some custom thing. In particular, how they'll make the plasma session sync the refresh rate with the display.

You can gain an incredible amount of expertise *just* doing that. Of course success is not guaranteed, but there's a surprising amount of opportunities out there. Valve is the biggest and most visible player in the game but you can find this low level work in a lot more places than you'd think.

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

The most important thing is to not give up. It's easy to finish one thing and then abandon the topic. Just keeping on tinkering with a thing is so important and that's why it's important to choose a niche you actually like tinkering in, because you want to keep at it for a couple of years

100

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

People are often afraid of low level complicated areas, but you don't have to be. Just use C a lot and get a solid understanding how memory management works. gstreamer, wayland, mesa drivers, vulkan, synchronization, linux kernel - sounds scary? Yes, but just don't care and start doing.

100

haagch.bsky.social @haagch.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

I think not enough people realize that just having a genuine interest and a couple of months time to sink into certain niches can make you uniquely qualified. If you are in university or just graduated, then is the perfect time to just start hacking on something that nobody else has touched yet.
