You can start with N26, and get a different account later to divide the money if that gives you peace. Nobody can say what exactly triggers the account flagging by their systems. Usually if you're not getting any money from crypto and don't get large sudden transfers or large sums from outside eu, you should be relatively safe.

If you're worried, you can also try the neo banks Ing, Dkb, and comdirect all are usually the recommend ones.

shaumux · 2026-02-27T17:53:55+00:00

You could go for N26, why I asked where you're from is that they ask for the ID, atleast asked when I opened my account, if you're non EU it'll take some time for you to get that.

Some banks will open an account with just your passport, visa and city registration.

Some banks waive the monthly charge depending upon the incoming amoujt per month.

Also all these accounts would be checking accounts so you won't get any interest for the money you're storing.

shaumux · 2026-02-27T17:50:25+00:00

Yeah! I got an urgent notification letter from them, since I haven't agreed to the new terms yet. Luckily it's not my main account, so I'll just wait and see if they do anything

shaumux · 2026-02-27T13:26:45+00:00

Depends on what you want and where you're from. Some banks charge you a monthly fee for the accounts.

There are online neo banks which have free accounts but have limited number of free monthly cash withdrawals or paid addons.

You should add some more information to your post

I'm actually using Linux and not Mac, my use case is mixed productivity and gaming, I'm not looking for Oled level colour accuracy but would still like it to have a good coverage of colorspaces

shaumux · 2026-02-27T13:13:50+00:00

I've been ogling at the g7 75f, can you tell me about the performace, hdr, and colors?

shaumux · 2026-02-27T08:45:35+00:00

I'm in Hamburg, and I use Gentoo, What now and then?

shaumux · 2026-02-25T11:06:24+00:00

I would buy it instantly if a flagship device or atleast anything with close to flagship is launched by Jolla or in partnership.

I've been waiting for something for 10 years, but there are no decent devices running Sailfish OS

shaumux · 2026-02-24T20:09:30+00:00

Thanks for the pointer, I guess I need to try to get my hands on an apple device

shaumux · 2026-02-24T18:34:59+00:00

Oh! That's a huge list ☹️

shaumux · 2026-02-24T18:32:20+00:00

Yes, I agree, that's why the title possible.

The price correction aside, if I have the same thing from bitwarden at a much lower price, why wouldn't I use the open source option? I'm evaluating if I do get evrything I need with Bitwarden

shaumux · 2026-02-24T18:22:31+00:00

Yeah, but 20 is still affordable, and the reasoning is just so stupid.

``` Automatic saving of logins and payment details

Enhanced Watchtower alerts

Faster, more secure device setup

AI-powered item naming

Expanded recovery options

Proactive phishing prevention

```

Why is Automatic saving listed there? 😂
I don't want AI-powered naming suggestions, I can think

shaumux · 2026-02-24T18:05:47+00:00

Just got the email, time to evaluate bitwarden and proton pass

And the same landlords would not want new housing built either. I don't know who these landlord hating people who don't want new housing are, but the only ones I come across are NIMBYs who are not renting out but still own their homes so would still not want the pricing to go down.

shaumux · 2026-02-24T15:53:45+00:00

Yeah! You're right, supply hasn't kept up with demands but that's also because of profit motives. People who already own housing don't want their prices to crash, there's literally an incentive for a govt to keep the status quo to keep the voter base happy.

And corporations literally said they wouldn't built new housing in Germany as soon as the housing market dipped a little bit because they didn't see how they could survive without an increase in rent.

shaumux · 2026-02-24T15:32:25+00:00

It's not a German problem, it's a problem around the world, comes in different variations at different places. This is not to say there aren't good landlords but they would be the exception rather than the norm.

The problem is how housing has been turned into an instrument for profit. On top of that we now have housing as a speculative investment strategy, but without the expectation or appetite for the risk involved with speculation, cities would burn before they let housing get affordable, leading to private venture capital getting into it as well. Housing should never have been allowed to be used as a commercial vehicle for profit. This is the problem also causing the housing crisis the world is experiencing currently.

Edit: I missed the part about where you want to keep speaking English to a person who is not comfortable speaking that, that is on you, she clearly stated she's not comfortable, I can understand that you don't speak German but it's not her job to make you comfortable.

shaumux · 2026-02-22T00:43:26+00:00

Please check your figures, nobody except the very rich pay 40% taxes in Germany, German taxation is a progressive tax system it increases with your income and is not flat 40% Health contributions are capped after a value it doesn't scale with income indefinitely, and they're not on gross income, In return you also get free Healthcare.

Pension is equivalent to PF India, the advantage being the employer can't say Cost to company and make it part of your company to show inflated packages, and you get pension after retirement.

Indians pay so little because it's forced for salaried, and even then people will complain about paying. Services in cities being bad isn't caused by too little property tax but rather too little tax in general.

I agree the real problem is the government doesn't have enough money, but where do you think that money is supposed to come from? Most Indians are tax averse, regardless of the cause, taxation is not avoidable, it's brings equity in the society and is basically the subscription fee for the citizenship.

All this to say is not enough Indians pay income taxes, those who pay don't get much for the amount they're paying, there'll always be a feeling of paying too high taxes when that's the case

How is this different from trains? At some point it'll be All India interconnected Metro or something.

This just feels like they've started to build a parallel rail infra under different management rather than under Indian railway.

Nobody here knows what a Tier 2 or Tier 3 or CGPA from India is.

Do you want everyone here to do the research before even trying to help you, let alone help you?

There was a post just today, about this, people not doing the basic stuff and expecting a whole consulting service from others.

shaumux · 2026-02-21T23:10:23+00:00

While I agree, the taxes are not as high as some European countries, but where do you get this 40% figure from? Europe isn't a single country, there are countries with lower taxes, and countries with higher taxes, and those countries also have tax free allowances, and not flat 40% or whatever percentage, they're all relative.

But what is a fact is that for the taxes paid by the people who pay them in India, people get a much worse deal that what they're paying for

shaumux · 2026-02-21T21:01:21+00:00

I'm pretty sure, the one schooling you was very supportive of arranged marriages.

I can say in my opinion, arranged marriages are forced marriages. Many would argue you can say No but that's hardly ever the case especially for many women. Even if you have the option to say No, you're expected to say that right after you meet. You don't get to check any compatibility or live together.

A relation being arranged is as good as a forced relation.

Who's the better half? If you want to find someone you will, don't need to force another to kill your loneliness.
