> iDEAL also supports P2P payments through Tikkie (ABN AMRO) or the payment request option of other banks. You basically show a QR code or send a link and the person paying goes through the iDEAL flow to transfer the money. Tikkie (and the other bank's similar and compatible systems) have been one of the primary methods for P2P transfers for many years now.

Is that really p2p? It does not really seem like it. I am interested though, i just don't know anything about iDEAL.


> The remote server is able to determine whether you are fetching the script using curl/browser or piped directly into bash

I think you must be mixing something up here. At least i would be very surprised to learn how pipes are that leaky over the wire. It would be very interesting. But i can't imagine how a remote would differentiate between curl and curl piped. And the article doesn't load unfortunately.


It has to do with how you can abuse how the TCP data is streamed, not that a web server detects a pipe.


Fellow finanzamtpostempfaenger here. I've experienced the moment of shock reading their amounts and almost fainting more than i'd like to admit.


> Sites need to include this language to protect themselves from malicious law suits

No, they do not. They do need to have people believe they do need to.


We'll see.


How fucking cool would robohorses instead of cars or bikes be?

email will become so unusable, next one will have to be HELNO i guess


Why?


Ignoring the actual situation as I don't care to go into that right now, just talking about the mechanisms working with here. I did have access accidentally to buy cheap social stuff. Not that it would be hard to run it myself, just wouldn't be worth the effort to make it run well for controllably long time. But anyway, i didn't do anything with it, but i always thought, how do easy it would be for a competent, young, informed government, to realize counteracting the digital influence of foreignn governments is much more important than whatever else they prioritise. Exaggerated, maybe, but it should be at least top 3 or whatever exact position in ones priority list. Because especially: it's so easy, to spend a few thousand euros to hire some really competent people who might just pay some shady social account broker, now even with the use LLMs , much more scalably & effectively, to counteract and do even better stuff than what they do.

But then, remembering bernays, i am happy they are incompetent. The day they reach competency with the toolset that is yet in infancy, i will regret not having tried to control who is running this. On the other hand, you just can't risk doing this. It will lose your control eventually. And without being a conspiracy theorists, it won't be long until more pips (people in power) will notice the ease of influence- and propaganda (in bernays understanding, the one who rebranded it as public relations), through these tools.

Luckily, i've never been in a knife fight. Though i've heard, that with an unskilled fighter, you have pretty bad chances of not getting hurt. But a skilled one is a death sentence. Of course i don't want to be attacked by a knife. And i don't want to take some other unskilled street gangster and train him. Of course, some people get humbled if introduced to power. But many corrupt. And those hungry for power, are rarely those, who should have it. This could be an hour long discussion. But just look around the people you know well. Maybe yourself in certain situations or relationships. Every humans has the potential.
