  • Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'

  • In a lot of countries you cannot just use your debit card directly on Steam like you would a credit card which includes just entering the numbers and you are good to go. Or in some cases it directs you to the credit card provider where you have to authenticate the payment.

    Here in NL we have to use iDeal if we want to pay online with most banks, this requires us to 2FA the payment by scanning a code using their app. iDeal will become Wero and will become an international system since a lot of countries had something similar to the Dutch iDeal.

  • In my experience I have no issues being seen as the bad guy (but then again in NL you can actually vote for center parties) and I have had just as many people from the left as I have had from the right try and convince me that their side is better. My favourite one is "All violence comes from the left" lolol

  • Pandora is sadly not available in NL and if I saw it correctly Pandora is also America which does mean that it will turn to shit somewhere in the future.

  • You can say a lot of Spotify and of Apple, but the iOS app of Spotify is basically bug free and has been bug free for more than a decade now for me. The webclient has been buggy for me though.

  • The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now)

  • Not only the tech bubble is doing that.

    It's also the tech bubble ow and the pyramide scheme of the US housing sector will cause more financial issues as well and so is the whole creditcard system

  • Germans, always on the wrong side of history I am not even German, but how are you any better for generalising every German together?

    It is the fascist cops beating up peaceful civilians, even grandmas. One evil doesn't exclude another one

    LOL ‘extreme left’ You're not realising that any movement that is extreme is bad is just fucking us over just as much as the people not realising extreme right is the problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-left_politics

  • Besides that, credit cards (and chipless debit cards) are unsecure? That receiving credit cards payments costs more in terms of administration costs?

    That credit cards are a system designed for consumerism (you see this especially in the US) and that people who grew up with credit cards being the default/more common payment method are often worse with money?

    There is a reason why you can only own credit cards if you are an adult, but you can own chipped debit cards earlier.

  • I just hate credit cards since they are like the worst payment method unless you want to dig a financial hole for yourself

  • A normal modern bank card (with 2FA) through a payment provider which obfuscates everything besides the name on your bank account and your bank account number (this will also share the country of your bank if you are in a SEPA region). And since people younger than 18 can use that system, they cannot use that for verification.

    Plus, you won't be at risk of spending money you don't have, and it doesn't negatively impact your credit score like even having a credit card does in some countries.

  • Even using a credit card for something like Spotify is already giving out more information than is needed.
