yas! do it


In my area (southeast asia) we use “scan and pay” from our banking app. Merchants will have a qr code printed for us to scan via our banking app.
they are trying to make the banking app into something like a wechat where you can do a bunch of stuff on it.
why can’t you use a credit card with an NFC chip in it?
for tap and pay, for some reason I don’t like to take out my wallet, fiddle and try to take out the plastic and make payment.
i use it for transit and shopping. I always worry about misplacing or dropping it. Paying / tapping is often a rushed interaction that happen in crowded place. Right now I bring 2 phones with me. My android daily driver phone and an iPhone. I installed all banking / payment apps on the iPhone. Even if i dropped or misplaced my iPhone, the tap and pay feature is still protected with a lock screen, which the credit card does not.
^ also i brought the iPhone because I rooted my android phone. I got tired fighting safety net every week to get the payment apps to work


how often
Huh? Frequently…? When i need to pay for food, drink, shopping, transfer money to my peers, etc.
Where I live is almost going cashless already. I don’t carry any cash with me.
luckily my banking app still works on Grapheneos now.


carrying a laptop won’t help. If it helped, I won’t mind running a termux os via proot also. I dont mind if it isn’t optimised for small touchscreen yet.
right now most mobile payment options in my country only work with android/ios. My bank requires a phone for its device token (2fa).
The food and cab ordering platform is also exclusively on mobile only.
very sad


There are many flavours and extensions of markdown. For example rendering of a table is not part of the standard. How newlines are handled also differ.
to have all browsers support this, this need to be made into a web standard. And all agreed by different browser vendors (like chrome, safari and firefox).
right now this might be best handled by browser extension first.
my own personal interpretations based entirely on vibes are as follows
asshole: the anatomical opening at the end of the digestive tract, commonly known as the anus in human biology.
jackass: a male donkey belonging to the equine family, often characterized by long ears and a stubborn temperament.
dickhead: the upper part of the penis, specifically referring to the glans or head of the male reproductive organ.
