A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I regularly live with a dumbphone. All it can really do is makes calls and text. Its only difficult if you give a shit about social media and chat apps. I don't so its easy
I can't do online shopping without accepting a notification on my bank's app. That's not "social media and chat apps".
Can't you set it back to sending you a text with a code to input back? That's what I'm doing with my bank, my dumbphone is on its way.
I have no actual idea, but I don't think so as it's an "online" bank where you set up the account on the mobile app. There's no other way to set up an account with this bank.
Oh. Here in France, even online banks still have web apps.
Anyway the assumption that every user has a smartphone is now very prevalent and it's going to get harder and harder to not have one, but I really want to go against the trend.
Yes, web apps, yes. But to confirm online payments you usually need the app. That's true at least of N26.
