@fredc@mastodon.online I agree but there is still a part of the population that do not have smartphones (yeah, I know) - either by choice or circumstance. Banks should make it an option NOT to use SMS as a start.
First step, should be to add an option aside from SMS. Back in my home town, it is difficult to receive SMS. Currently, it is also difficult to receive SMS outside of the Philippines.
jsampan (business.inquirer.net)MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) wants financial firms to eventually move away from one-time passwords (OTP) and instead adopt a more secure and sophisticated method of authenticating transactions to combat fraud and other financial cybercrime. During the recent media information session of the BSP, central bank Deputy Governor Elmore Capule stressed […]
OTP via SMS is very vulnerable to fraud. Time for PH banks to phase that out.
Slap on the wrist lang; ganon?
poll: how long after walking into friend or someone’s home is it acceptable to ask for their WIFI password? [ ] Immediately [ ] Never
For my phone, never. I’ll wait for them to offer. For my laptop/tablet that we (meaning me and the home owner/renter) need to work on, immediately.

I only see it as black-blue. Can’t perceive it as white-gold.

Here we go again
Hear me out: an ActivityPub-based dating app. Can integrate with every other fediverse apps. (I'm kidding obviously, but can you imagine?)
Any app is a dating app (as seen in this College Humor sketch): https://youtu.be/rwRncCTSz_U

How about “Share with context” to be copied to the clipboard and ready to be pasted in another app. The context will have some sort of text (maybe from the original post and hashtags?), the original poster’s full fediverse address, and the URL.
...sent these off to a new home. ;-) In theory, this is just 35 kilos. But a balikbayan box full of books felt heavier than a wardrobe. Must be all the ideas and worlds contained within.
