the tower fairy

@karlauerbach@sfba.social My favourite is biometric (as in, checked online) authentication for banks. Both my parents have had their accounts erased because they can't port to the shiny new smartphone based app, which means something as simple as a balance check requires a trip to the physical branch...

@harrysintonen why not cash?

@karlauerbach@sfba.social which for transfers is OK, but for paying a bill and setting money aside? ugh

@bimmer this is already real in my country, no need for architects or LLMs...

@cmb@cathode.church @fafo@social.fa-fo.de what is that Catte?

@sschoener@mastodon.gamedev.place "no CMake" yet they rely on an Unix only buildsystem, not different than using autotools from the outset

@karlauerbach@sfba.social after that first auth, they will usually require a PIN or whatever on-device biometrics is available

@zeitverschreib @davidrevoy going as far as using weight hacks in Stalker 2 bc I can't bear the thought of leaving ingame litter

@davidrevoy a friend would've replaced it with "You exhausted your quota of Avian Fodder, come back tomorrow..." as the house creaks and comes down 😬

@boreq@chaos.social lmk if there are any (EU) alternatives, i am only staying there for the whois privacy thingy

@boreq@chaos.social now with the unbundled email it's argh

@zeux@mastodon.gamedev.place @sschoener@mastodon.gamedev.place cross build and/or examining them. I do that a lot in my daily job, usually prefer Win32 GUIs over GNOME mouse quirks, and macOS (pre 26) over either

@karlauerbach@sfba.social Same, I also run iOS. In this case the banking apps wants a Persona-like authentication flow because of several fraud-related court losses
