  • I know it’s cliché to call anonymous commenters shills, but that sentence has major shill energy.

    I also know I shouldn’t “feed the trolls”, but your comment did amuse me.

    Me? Shilling for Visa/Mastercard? Oh, boy. I was merely asking questions, so I can understand “how can I move away from visa/mc, as soon as possible”.

    It’s interesting cute that this is what you’re getting hung up on.

    Who says “your favourite online store”, honestly.

    Sorry, I said “favorite online store”, mate ;)

    Cheers



  • From what I’ve read, it appears that it’s simply one time, transactions.

    Surely, they couldn’t be that short sighted. This means no “saving for payment information” on your favorite online store.

    Also, it seems this is heavily tied to your bank account, which kind of makes me a bit nervous. I like fintech solutions and being able to create “one time use debit cards” or debit cards with a maximum balance and at the moment, I don’t understand how wero will fill this gap.

    … but I really hope I’m wrong or some fintech will “step up” and make wero a legitimate replacement for visa/master card.



  • From a user’s perspective, when you install an app, you can:

    1. Determine if that app is allowed to access the internet.
    2. If it needs access to your contacts, you can share which of your contacts, it can see (or none at all)
    3. If it needs access to your files, you can determine which files/photos/music it sees (or none at all, but the application still believes it has access to everything)

    There are a bunch of other, security features it provides, but from a “normal user” experience, the ability to take control of your data is probably one of the most impactful.

    It is possible to do similar things with other CFW, but AFAIK, graphene is the only one to cleanly integrate it as a polished feature of the ROM.

    edit: fix formatting





  • Under Trump, as well as refusing to make mandatory payments to the U.N.'s regular and peacekeeping budgets, the U.S. has slashed voluntary funding to U.N. agencies with their own budgets, and moved to exit U.N. organizations including the World Health Organization.

    If I fasten my tinfoil hat on, I’d say that this is all going according to plan: The U.S. gets kicked out of the U.N. The U.N. is (financially) destabilized and is unable to focus on developing its sovereignty from U.S. Big Tech and focus on having the military support it needs. Meanwhile, hostile actors are at its boarders waiting to pounce.









  • I use 1Password at work. It pretty much ticks your boxes. With 1Password, a collection of passwords are referred to as a vault.

    • you can share passwords, either permanently or temporarily (and even with people outside of your company).
    • vaults can be shared with people in your company (so you just add all your secrets to the vault)
    • by default each person get a “personal vault”, which is not shareable (but you can temporarily share secrets in the vault, if you want too).
    • nobody can read the content unless you share it with them (or one of your client apps gets exploited)

    As the OP mentioned, it “just works” with everything.

    My only gripes with it is that it’s a bit cumbersome to log into the website (you basically have two passwords, plus mfa)… but if you’ve got the browser extension installed, it’s painless. The other gripe I have is, it’s tricky to have an overview of what passwords/vaults already exist. So, if you have enough people, it’s inevitable that passwords will be accidentally duplicated - and no one will have a clear idea what was duplicated and who has access to it (unless you’re a member/owner of a vault).

    You mentioned you wanted something “hands-off”, I think that after the initial setup, you’d get just that.
