Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
🇪🇺 The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
🧀 The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
🏳️‍🌈 The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins 💶 And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream “only in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Including fucking DHL. I hate these companies.

DHL:

DHL and Deutsche Bahn also use Adobe for whatever they use it for. The ARD Mediathek uses Google for the account system, which is incredibly ironic (and the reason why I dont have an account)

Ah, you mean that the ARD Mediathek uses Google Firebase, I guess?

At least, I found this in their privacy policy:

Für das ARD-Konto verwenden wir den Authentifikationsservice Firebase Auth. Dieser Service wird von Google auf Servern außerhalb der EU betrieben und durch die europäischen Standardvertragsklauseln geschützt.

On the plus-side, the ARD Mediathek supports RSS feeds for now, unlike seemingly all the other web portals of our state-funded media.

They don't accept normal EC cards? LOL

[–] pantherina@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never paid anything online using an EC card. Does that even work?

But "Vorkasse" (bank transaction in advance) should be available. And Wero, even though my not-very-shitty bank does not support it

[–] FalschgeldFurkan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Either through SEPA (for repeating business) or good ol' Vorkasse, that worked several times for me. But yeah, most online transactions are still being done through PayPal as it is easier

[–] pantherina@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

No, because it is not provided. Flix also doesnt provide Vorkasse, as well as a ton of other providers.

I bought something from the official "Thermal Grizzly" Shop and even they supported Vorkasse and the process took only a minute or so!
