Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • Our gov ID card and medical insurance contains NFC chips which can be used for authenticaing with your legal identity (the old school way is post identidification where the company sends a letter to your adress)
    Other types of that can be payment.

    For ID: I like it.
    For payment: IMO the advantages are phone-less payment. I don’t need to have my phone on me whenI can tap my bank card on the terminal.

    Another example:
    Our public transit has a state-wide valid ticket.
    The usual way you get the ticket issued is as a qr code with the local transit copany where you live.
    I specifically opted for a physical card.
    Why? If my phone dies, I don’t have a valid ticket. And if that happens you get get fined for it.
    I could send in an objection and get it cleared by providing my ticket later at a service point but why bother? :p









  • There is a degree of anount.
    I’d say my Reddit subs are similarly set up to my Lemmy communities.
    My feed is 80% (US) politics or (F)OSS politics even on stuff that is neither of them in the first place.
    Reddit on the other hand was more like 20% potentially political, 75% random stuff like memes or niche sub posts and 5% political/story time subs.

    Sadly the reddit feed became almost unusable. The r/sysadmin feed is atrocious.






    • All under the assumption I am alone:
    • Bathroom on toilet: Depends. Usually yes.
    • Bathroom shower: Yes. I like it warm :)
    • Living room (summer):
      • If it’s hot inside and cant open the window -> No it’s kept open.
      • If it’s temperate -> Yes
    • Living room (winter): Usually closed at all times and only temporarily to vent it for fresh air
    • Bedroom: Closed. I can’t sleep with an open door. Dunno why.
