I think you severely underestimate the incentives for foreign interference, and how easy that is in the days of social media and bots.
As if the kid threw the water for that reason. Maybe the neighbor shouldn’t have let the kid roam? Would fit your logic.
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgto Buy European@feddit.uk•The Digital Euro: Decoupling from PayPal, VISA & Mastercard5·1 month agoFrom their FAQ:
Privacy is one of the most important design features of the digital euro.
The digital euro is designed to be able to function offline in a way that would offer users a cash-like level of privacy, both for sending money to other people and for paying in shops. When paying offline, only the payer and the payee would know the personal transaction details of the payments made.
For online digital euro payments, privacy would be implemented so that the Eurosystem itself – the issuer and payment infrastructure provider – would not be able to directly connect transactions to specific individuals.

Except the AI versions would always have too many fingers or something.

Sorry everyone else.
Made in China, though.
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union43·2 months agoI wonder if this will in practice put an end to the scummy practice of badly sized in game currency pack sizes, one of the many scummy techniques they use to make people spend more.
Let’s say the thing most players buy costs 3 ingame currency (I love that my autocorrect made „insane currency“ out of that). The smallest pack you can buy is 5. So, the player buys 5, spends 3 and has 2 left with which nothing to do. If they want another 3, they have to buy 5 more. Spend 3, have 4 left. Spend 3, have 1 left. The cycle continues.
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union13·2 months agoI find it interesting that it says it’s based on existing legislation. In that case I’ma bit disappointed that it took them so long to act. But, it’s of course a stop in the right direction.
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgto DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz@feddit.org•Zahlungsverkehr: Kontaktloses Bezahlen in Nordeuropa beliebt2·2 months agoHier in Schweden hat jeder ne Debit Karte. Also kein Kredit, aber trotzdem VISA/Mastercard. Das ist einfach die eine Karte die man für sein Konto bekommt.

Good thing that I have some vacation coming up.
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgOPto Lego@lemm.ee•Is there a tool where I can enter my Lego pieces and it tells me what sets I might have?3·2 months agoI already identified a couple sets I had on brickset.com. The lego builder app doesn’t have the instructions for 2 out of the 3, they are too old it seems.
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgOPto Lego@lemm.ee•Is there a tool where I can enter my Lego pieces and it tells me what sets I might have?7·2 months agoI had underestimated how much I had in that box in the basement. I broke it out last night for my 3 year old. It was a bad idea to do that just before bed time ;)
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgOPto Lego@lemm.ee•Is there a tool where I can enter my Lego pieces and it tells me what sets I might have?2·2 months agoI remember some sets I had as a kid, and there was definitely a pneumatic one among them that I remember very fondly :)
Mad_Punda@feddit.orgOPto Lego@lemm.ee•Is there a tool where I can enter my Lego pieces and it tells me what sets I might have?4·2 months agoWow. I was joking to my partner last night that these days there should be an app to scan your pieces so you don’t have to enter them all manually. And it seems there is. I’ll look into this, thank you.

Now, what’s gonna happen if they don’t? I don’t know what mechanics are in place to deal with that.

Mad_Punda@feddit.orgOPto Cooking @lemmy.world•Advice needed: Avoiding sweetener in bread recipe2·2 months agoYes. I translated a Swedish recipe and didn’t reflect on the measurements. They use dl for everything here (and I‘d very much prefer weight instead on volume for most things… sigh)
