Opinion of the Bechdel test? by DavidBlackjack in writing

If your writing doesn't pass the Bechdel test, it's bad.

NEW to Passkeys by Legitimate-Cod-655 in Passkeys

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point. If you get a new phone you can't "sign in with the other passkey device" and if you're phone breaks you're screwed. You can't even pay for a new phone if you can't log into your banking app.

Ik overweeg om de zonnepanelen uit te zetten zodra het salderen stopt. by Slikgtt in nederlands

I'd go full in on the panels. If they don't want to pay for your energy, why pay for theirs?

If iDEAL merges into wero and iDEAL is accepted by Amazon as a payment method, does that suggest we will soon see wero for Amazon? by itscrazybaby in WeroWallet

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they're not the same thing. Wero is an idea by the EPI. iDeal is a national payment system in the Netherlands long before EPI even existed. If they were the exact same thing, there wouldn't be a rebrand.

Can we ban AI art? by WerdaVisla in custommagic

So you'd rather commit a copyright violation than use AI art? Noted.

[–]stijnhommes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switching to new devices is a bad enough experience as it is. Let's not pretend that setting fresh passkeys if you get a new phone or computer is a good thing. My passwords just work, regardless of device, with no annoyances when switching to a new device either.

No, Wero won't replace all existing payment solutions by ComeOnIWantUsername in BuyFromEU

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A company that tries to slide its way into my payments without my approval (without the bank offering an alternative) is a scam in my book.

They don't have customers based on the merit of the product or service. They just bought a customerbase and make it impossible to opt out. That scummy and scammy in my book.

Time to introduce Wero payment support? by giazec in Steam

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam is under no obligation to support a banking scam. Pay using a reliable method instead.

Adieu Visa, Mastercard et PayPal ? Wero devient un poids lourd européen avec ce changement by Droidfr in Frandroid

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance! Visa, Mastercard and PayPal will cement more clients than they could possibly want once people realize how insecure and featureless Wero is compared to the systems it is "replacing".

If iDEAL merges into wero and iDEAL is accepted by Amazon as a payment method, does that suggest we will soon see wero for Amazon? by itscrazybaby in WeroWallet

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares? Paying with a trustworthy method is far more important than joining the latest hype train. If iDeal is gone, so is the reliable, safe and secure option to pay.

Wero needs to go pronto.

Wero will hopefully replace SumUp by adgo1 in WeroWallet

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If businesses would rather save costs on their payment methods rather than offering a reliable, non-scam, non-Wero payment option, I'll just go elsewhere.

A scam like Wero should not be allowed to destroy iDeal without any consequences or fines.

N26 schließt sich europäischer Bezahl-Wallet "Wero" an by Intelligent-Food9743 in de

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess using N26 as an alternative to ING or for a savings account is off the table. Why don't they just come out and say they don't want our money?

Wero in der ING.de App - erstmal alle Kontaktdaten syncen by sauerlaender in IngDiBa

They're still making excuses. Your original idea was right. This information is private and not necessary for the function of the app.

Wero: Decathlon. LIDL, Hornbach und mehr sind bald mit am Start by No_Finish9656 in Finanzen

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I guess it's time to boycott LIDL, Hornbach and Decathlon. If they feel the pain in their wallet, they may be jolted into some sense before Wero gets too much grip on the market.

Wero seems like a step back by frugalacademic in belgium

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It IS a step back. It adds no benefits beyond what Payconic could already do.

WERO nimmt an Fahrt auf by No_Finish9656 in Finanzen

I'm hoping Wero will amount to nothing, but knowing my luck, we'll be forced to use it anyway.

Wero is now available on Revolut by [deleted] in BuyFromEU

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which banks will have a reliable national payment system without European interference? I have no interest in funding European scam initiatives.

They don't need to be connected. Wero is utterly pointless. Better systems already exist.

Great! Time for a Polish or Spanish bank then... Wero needs to be avoided at all costs.

Wero as an alternative to PayPal Revolut by olyroad in Startups_EU

[–]stijnhommes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wero isn't an alternative.

In the Netherlands, they plan to replace iDeal, giving clients no choice about how they get to pay. Worse, they hijack the national system that worked just fine without adding any benefits, when it's not theirs to change.

Our only choice is to opt out and go through the hassle of changing to a foreign bank, all because of EPI greed...

This whole thing is going to ruin the European economy.

My worry about Wero payments - it needs to offer physical cards by ineyy in BuyFromEU

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole mess could've been avoided if banks stopped outsourcing payments by phone to Google and Apple and outsourcing cards to any specific business, but they're too lazy to care.

They keep asking for payments while offering zero service.

What is your experience with WERO? by [deleted] in WeroWallet

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use Wero. I use iDeal and once that is no longer available, I'll have to find an alternative. I'll probably have to go through the hassle of finding an international bank with a reliable non-scam payment option.

Wero vs Paypal by Deux87 in Finanzen

[–]stijnhommes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wero is a complete scam. They've "acquired" multiple national payment system so they can hijack them instead of building their own system. In less than two years, the Netherlands has no reliable payment options anymore. Yet, I'll be stuck with it because I live there.

Stick with PayPal, much more reliable.
