No fees in Germany, neither for sending nor for receiving and the funds get transferred within seconds.

Another comment mentioned ACH, but that is not the same as a wire transfer.

Thanks for clarifying that. I just thought they used a technical term I was unaware of.

So how’s your diabetes going?

First time I read “incest border”. Time to lay off the pornhub.

If you accidentally wire the funds to the wrong account, there is no recourse.

Well, duh. That’s not what I’d call insecure. If you only accept a system as “secure” if it is resistant to any user error, then I propose you keep away from knives, cars, electricity, staircases, and basically everything.

You also didn’t provide any rationale for the “costs money” part of your statement.

The only thing GitHub can’t to is structure tickets. It would be nice to link issues together other than by referencing them.

No consultancy can ever make Jira fast. It’s incredible that it takes several seconds just to open a motherfucking goddamn issue.

I swear all their SQL is select * from *;

They weren’t making a generalist statement. They were complaining about management insisting on slapping AI everywhere.

[Edit: ~~It does not and it is not. What the fuck are you talking about?~~ Why do you think it’s insecure and what costs are associated with it?]

Have you noticed that there are now three ways to enter block-formatted, monospace text?

Dies. Ich dachte, das wäre offensichtlicher…

From my quick internet search it seems that these “bank-issued” debit cards are all either a rebranded MasterCard or rebranded Visa. Both American companies. Given how unpredictable their government behaves recently, and how recklessly the banking sector has behaving for decades now, I would rather not rely on them for something as essential as my bank account.

You prompted me to read up on these things. It turns out that Germany has been cooking their own debit card scheme (Girocard) for the last 20 years, and it’s incompatible with the rest of the world. But banks seem to be transitioning towards Visa or Mastercard.

Github doesn’t accept Girocards.

TBH, I’m not a fan of yet another entanglement with US-based companies for something as simple as moving money.
