I want to give some additional I formation:

• installation doesn’t work on Firefox, must use Chromium
• if on Linux, it may be needed to change permissions to the USB device before it works

How would I know which bank to go too ? It’s comes down to the details of how they implement their phone app. I don’t think you would find this information anywhere.

Exactly, it’s not only about fighting Google, it’s also about setting a better, more open standard for the rest of the market.

Recently my bank has rolled out a new mobile app now relying on Google wallet for NFC payment. I was able to use NFC payment on GrapheneOS on the old app, I can’t on the new one. The online banking stuff still works (for now) but no more mobile payment for me. I didn’t sign a fucking contract with Google, why would I hand over my payment data to them !

I only go to itch.io for erotic games.

Razer Diamond back gaming mouse, shit at clicking, shit quality, over priced

Bohmann air-conditioner, broke after few hours of usage at most. Well within warranty, the reseller(Mediamarkt), and manufacturers took me for a long long ride until I eventually gave up on getting my money back…

I’ve seen this knife on YouTube. It vibrate at ultrasound frequency that makes it sharper than the blade really is and the ingredients don’t stick to it, or so they claim. If it really does perform as demonstrated, it’s pretty cool, but still overpriced.

In France and Germany you are paid monthly, by bank transfer (for most jobs). Tax are automatically accounted for, your pay slip will show the Brute/Brutto (what the employers pay) and Net/Netto (what you receive on your bank account).

In both countries, trial period must be paid. If you come 1 day to work and they don’t want you. They must pay you for the 1 day of work.

In Germany, how good things are can vary. I always had a good situation because I work in the automotive industry. For most my career my contract was “Tarifvertrag” which means it is compliant with the rules of the workers union IG-Metall, this includes the salary grid. The union is negotiating the salary increase for millions of employees on a yearly basis. You stamp in and out of work. Your work time is counted to the minute. Overtime is accumulated in a time account that you can recover as paid holiday or paid at overtime rate. Working Saturdays and Sundays is paid a special rate as well (not sure, I think it is 150% Saturday and 200% Sunday). After trial period, resignation is 10 weeks notice for both the employee and employer. They must pay you all of your overtime when you leave, and let you use all the holidays you are due.

If your profession is covered by a strong workers union, things are pretty good. Things can pretty shitty if you are independent or working for a startup or hospitality business.

I was suppose to finish my tax declaration. I did many other things, but not that.

I usually stop just above the knees

We could image that some ingredients needed in the fabrication process of health potions are actually dangerous and would kill you, or at least not heal you.

I saw a steam-powered dildo in a museum somewhere. They also had a wood contraption with some sort of pedals used in a women’s prison, which they claim helped to reduce violent incidents amongst the prisoners.

Make that G string ring ! 🎸

I call it my pee staff

My 3D printer: Prusa i3 MK3S+, completely open-source Firmware and mechanical design. I have made many customization and upgrades over the years. It started as a MK3 model, I upgraded it to MK3S and then MK3S+. Today I could upgrade it to MK3.5 or MK3.9 but I don’t see the necessity at the moment.

This helps me to upgrade and repair many things around the house that would otherwise be expensive to fix or would otherwise get thrown away.
