2-Faktor-Authentifizierung: Verbraucherschützer vs. Hürden beim Online-Banking
"Menschen, die kein Smartphone für Bankgeschäfte nutzen wollen oder können, müssen häufig zusätzliches Geld in die Hand nehmen", kritisiert Dorothea Mohn, Leiterin Team Finanzmarkt beim vzbv. "Dabei gibt es gute Gründe, warum man seine Bankgeschäfte nicht mit dem Smartphone verknüpfen kann oder möchte."
Jupp. Mehr dazu in Kürze, ich Buddel da gerade – nervt mich nämlich auch.
Finanzinstitute setzen vor allem auf das App-basierte, nur online funktionierende pushTAN-Verfahren, monieren die Verbraucherzentralen. Alles andere sei teuer.Stefan Krempl (heise online)
Mich auch! Erst Bank1: ChipTAN komplett abgeschafft. Jetzt Bank2: ChipTAN nur noch mit neuerdings kostenpflichtiger Girocard möglich. Deren kostenlose Visa-Debitkarte soll nämlich eigentlich die Girocard komplett ersetzen.
Darüberhinaus nehme ich an, erhält bei ausschließlicher Nutzung der Visa-Karte nun neben der Bank auch stets Visa sämtliche Kartenumsätze.
@LasseGismo @deusfigendi äh… Aurora bezieht die Apps allerdings aus dem Playstore, wenn auch über "anonyme Accounts". Definitiv deutlich besser als mit der Playstore App 👍 aber nicht wirklich/völlig "G-frei" (dafür empfehle ich #FDroid) 😉
Tipp: Achte gut auf die Aurora-Hinweise zu Ergebnissen von Exodus, um Tracker & Co möglichst aus dem Weg zu gehen. Was auch Exodus Dir nicht anzeigt sind FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) und andere proprietäre Nicht-Tracking Bestandteile…
Here we go! Changelog for the upcoming 4.0 version. Please mind we still have to go through a release candidate at least.

In spite of a massive deluge of American propaganda, the world still has very positive views of Russia and China.
Favourable views — from a poll of 137 countries according to a study from the Centre for Future of Democracy, Cambridge, UK:
USA: 62%
Russia: 56%
China: 55%
What's more is that Russia & China are more popular than the U.S. in developing nations, where 85% of the world’s population lives.

"Datenschutz-Verstöße bei der Bahn waren Verantwortlichen lange bekannt"
von Joachim Graf
27.10.2022 Die Bürgerrechtsorganisation Digitalcourage hat Klage am Landgericht Frankfurt am Main gegen die Deutsche Bahn (DB) wegen mangelnden Datenschutzes in der Reiseauskunfts- und Buchungsapp DB Navigator erhoben. Die erhobenen Vorwürfe seien lange bekannt, beklagen Datenschützer.
Hello everyone, if you're reading about the #gitea changes. It could benefit to understand the full picture, I've written a summary of what happened today and as well what @dachary, @humanetech and I found out today.
forum.forgefriends.org/t/gitea…
Hello everyone reading this. This is a (hopefully unbiased) summary of what has happened today. It will be listed in chronological order.forgefriends
“I’m looking for VC money, a few millions” – this, combined with the announcement yesterday, actually has me more worried.
It shows that either Lunny doesn’t understand what VC is or that there’s a desire to make a lot of money with Gitea in a way that isn’t compatible with being a community project.
“Enterprise version” plans are not great either. Just look at GitLab.
CodeBerg might want to consider sustaining their own fork while the codebase is still simple.
Aral Balkan reshared this.
@aral
> “Enterprise version” plans are not great either.
I agree that they often haven't been. Perhaps because they've been approached as a way to generate monopoly profits, so source code for them is kept secret (either not published and therefore subject to trade secret protection not copyright), or published under a non-free license. But in practice, large orgs have different hosting needs from small ones, and having separate versions can address that.
Yes, it's very disturbing if they are accurately quoted.
VC money never seems to go well for community projects 😢
Either a project is openly all about money, in which case it shouldn't be taking unpaid contributions because that's exploitation.
Or a project *is* about volunteering and community spirit, in which case it shouldn't be taking VC money because that will destroy the community.
Effects of VC money on one project I worked on:
The VC explained that their investors expected a return on their investment that was larger than what they could get from safer investments,. They got the project to spend money on facilities and sales and marketing people. Then they decided they would not get enuf profits so they cut them off, but because of the VC-led ongoing expenses, the project was unsustainable and folded.
@bhaugen @feditips @aral @jwildeboer I think alot alot of us have seen the negative effects VCs can have on Projects.
The other thing to consider is that a project founder may be a good leader of a small project, but wholly unsuitable as a leader to make it into a venture. Or to manage the burn rate of a rapidly growing one.
@bhaugen @feditips @aral @jwildeboer VC capital changes the fundamental nature of our projects. But then it's also the push and pull between Free Software and Open Source.
Look at the choices of licences etc. VCs often prefer specific licences. Which should give us a clue really.
@onepict And even the NGI funds are rather opaque. We were recently rejected for one. Why? Who knows. What’s the internal process? Who knows. Who actually decided? Who knows.
Requires far more transparency. All this should be public.
For my part, I’ve posted all correspondence publicly. That, at least, should be the norm:

This is my application to get NLnet funding to work on Domain as part of the User-Operated Internet Fund1 I feel it’s important that such grant applications are made public so everyone has visibility into the process.Aral Balkan
@aral @otfrom @bhaugen @feditips @jwildeboer To some extent where projects can publisise the process, I think it will help to encourage others.
I think it also helps with sustainability because when you can see what a project gets in funding, what it produces with that funding helps with the long term credibility of that project.
@aral @onepict @otfrom @bhaugen @feditips @jwildeboer Same here. Some years back I applied for NGI funding (and several other funds such as prototype) as a freelancer to give gameoftrees a little push, and was rejected with no reason other than "sorry, no" 
I am lucky enough to have other paid projects that do not eat up all of my time, and kept going regardless at a slow pace (it's been 5 years, and I never thought my side-project would last that long).
I do see one advantage: No money -> no pressure -> no burnout. The small community we have is still 100% volunteer-driven which evens out the project's playing field. This works very well, as long as people are having fun.
No doubt, it is far too difficult to find funding for open source / free software projects which are not among the horses that capitalists are betting on at a given time. Over years I have witnessed first-hand a high-profile and initially very well funded project (Subversion) dwindle, not really because of diminishing user interest (there are still countless companies using SVN internally, ask your friends who work in something other than pure software dev shops, where only a subset of people write software, it is still everywhere there) but because development funding dried up as companies moved on to greener $$$ pastures, and the project, being used to the luxuries of external funding from the very beginning, now finds itself unable to keep operating at a grand scale without external help, and there is no help.
I am not surprised to learn about someone trying the VC route to find required support for gitea, probably with good intentions (and an unfortunate PR disaster that was probably not intended). I myself wouldn't touch such money for community projects, it seems like a very bad fit.

Reply to Idea: Fediverse Profile UI component fed by Keyoxide back-end service by @humanetech
Many open standards can support profile hydration:

h-card microformats, so we get that for free.h-card microformats can have u-key properties, potentially triggering an Ariadne-based verification of accounts enumerated by the h-card.h-card can map to vCard4Depending on how keyoxide-web issue 141 goes, WebFinger could also indirectly give Keyoxide support.

Hello Mastodon folks in the know - I just tried to follow someone on another Mastodon instance (mastodon.social) and it gives me this screen (see image) even though I AM logged in on Mastodon writing.exchange And I can right now successfully follow folks on other instances (like mastodon.lol)
Anyone know why this is happening? I have happily followed folks on mastodon.social in the past. It's so weird! Is something broken on mastodon.social follows?
Okay, so... I have a bit of an announcement.
I've created a website for FediFollows which has all the accounts I've ever recommended (that are still working!) organised into nice topics and tags:
You can browse the main directory or the top 100 tags page. (Also considering adding an "all tags" page, if there's demand.)
Please let me know what you think! Any feedback very welcome 🙏
(This is why I haven't posted in a few days! 😅 )
I've done a website for my @FediFollows account which lists lots of interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse.
There are a couple of video-related categories including lots of @peertube and @owncast accounts you might be interested in:
fedi.directory/tag/live-stream…
If you're wondering how to use the site, it's explained in the Help page:

So remember how I was saying you shouldn’t have to know or care if your operating system is immutable for an immutable operating system to be usable by everyday folks? (You know, clever folks, like brain surgeons and astronauts, not just your regular garden variety tech hobbyist with time to spare following instructions from a wiki.)
Seems others think so too… #VanillaOS sounds very promising. #Fedora #Silverblue folks should take some notes.
Vanilla OS is an On-Demand immutable Linux based distribution which aims to provide a vanilla GNOME experience.vanillaos.org
It can be done. macOS has been immutable for a while, and most people haven’t noticed. 🙂 Aside from noticing the giant updates.
Alpine Linux has a couple of modes which are immutable. I think it’s data mode.
The way forward is probably figuring out how to get logind to spawn a container for each account and use a transparent / overlay per account for system level customizations. I have no idea how that would actually work, so I’m just stringing words together. 😆
A driver manager is a fascinating idea. It's something we *shouldn't* need, but very clearly do. I look forward to learning more about it.
On an unrelated note, this website is really hard to read. All the icons are text, there are big flickery flashy images when the page loads, it's completely broken in reader mode somehow, and – fascinatingly – I have to turn *on* the screen reader to access FAQs past the first?
