As far as I know, Giropay is being replaced by Wero, which is already supported by some banks in different European countries.
It is so far one if the better PayPal/Visa/MasterCard alternatives I‘ve used, but adoption is still a problem.

This is a real step in the right direction! I would love to see a technologically independent Europe as soon as possible. Collaborative document editing might not sound that exciting in itself, but it‘s a really important building block for future projects.
100% „der Projektor“. Bildwerfer makes sense as well, but I have never heard anyone use that word before.
It actually reminds me of the German version of me_irl (ich_iel) where they try to use German words exclusively even if it sounds completely silly.
Fax machines and overhead projectors, if you live in Germany. Basically every office here still has a (frequently used) Fax machine and all schools still use overhead projectors.
It was actually quite a shock to me when my University retired their projectors in 2023. They sent an email to each and every student as a warning. Life‘s crazy here.
I used to be on Outlook. Two weeks ago I made accounts on Proton and Tuta, but didn‘t like the missing IMAP and SMTP on the free plans.
I then also made an account on web.de, but they don‘t support the plus notation for dynamic addresses (myname+service@email.com). So in the end I payed the 12€ for a year of mailbox.org and have been extremely happy with it!
