A human teller has the (more or less) same functionality as online banking, but I do love me some online banking.

I also like the weather icons being 4K and having some smooth anmiations.

Not to say that it's gone worse (it has IMHO) but comparing 25 years ago to know doesn't help much. Times were different back then. That's like comparing 1900 travel to today.

(August 2026)"]]>Looks really nice! Two things:

- Does it support layers / assembling structures? This would allow to combine multiple parts into a product (don't know hoe that is named exactly in english) - Awesome you support not only subscriptions but also a credit-based approach. I would definetly be a credit-customer, as I may have usage a couple of times a year, bot not continouous!

That is some really impressive bubble you are living within. Basically everywhere - nowhere near that, no.

[edit]: Maybe containers, but software in general is so much more broad than containers.

At least in Switzerland, you can not vote (well, you can but it does not have any effect) on things that are not mentioned within the agenda published and sent to members with the invitation. So IMHO these votes will not have any effect itself, just serve as an "indication".

IANAL.

That's the real failure? I think the real failure is that people must have _more than one_. I thought so hard to add all my credentials to 1Password. Now people tell me I should use a Yubikey (or better two or three of them). What do you think, I'm going to register a couple of hundred accounts times three for something I already have (my password manager)?

The real advante in passkeys is in allowing me to log in into a service on a foreign device without typing [my password], which is (honestly) something now sane person should ever do.

I'm not trying to defend / take a position. I just find it difficult to reason without having an official (up-to-date) source.
