That’s why it’s not surprising at all that a bank didn’t bother to do that. Banks have some of the most egregious security issues.

Then why is it that several, peer reviewed, scientific studies have shown, repeatedly, that millennials are better with all forms of technology than boomers, X zoomers or alpha?
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 5 days ago:
Yeah but like, its not just a personal experience or anecdote.
My brain had to bridge the gap between two different worlds. The year 2000 is was similar to 2025 than the year 2000 was to 1990.
And 1990 was more similar to 1965 than it was to 2005.
We didn’t experience a smooth technological transition; it was an abrupt and whole cloth transformation, and by 2005… well… things actually haven’t change that much since 2005. They’ve changed, but the change isn’t nearly as radical as the change from 1995 to 2005.
Technical transformation follows a consistent pattern of tool innovation, radical adoption, and then, effective stability for long periods of time. Some generations bridge a gap between tool kits and some don’t. Gen-X largely missed out on that transformation. Z caught the tale end. Alpha is growing up in a period of, well, at least platform stagnation.

ok zoomer. (/s)
But for real. I’m an elder millennial and most of lemmy is millenial-ish. Gen X and boomers, the ones who are on platforms like this, are incredibly rare. Reddit already skewed older than lemmy, and most of us were the earliest users/ power users of Reddit. So there is a reason why lemmy skews tech literate.
Like, we were the first generation to grow up with the internet in the house but also probably still had a land line phone. We had to figure shit out and also got to learn along with the technologies development. My intro to programing was Intro to Flash for making poop games that you might have played, but I also drank crystal Pepsi and could go see a double feature for $1 at the matinee. We bridge the gap between what was an effectively analog world to an entirely digital one.
So you aren’t wrong, but you are also on my lawn.

Give me a definition that you’ll stand by for a tree then. One that encompasses everything we should consider a tree and nothing which doesn’t.

Bro you don’t have a clue.

Confidently Incorrect.
Nope. Actually technically correct.
- Comment on After 4 years my banana tree decided it was time to fruit! 1 week ago:
Bro you should e-mail your botany 101 instructor and complain, because you didn’t get the education you paid for.
And you want to post qualifications as dick measuring? Bro I’ve also got a BSc in Botany (and not an adjacent or tangential field. an actual “Botany” degree from one of the very very few schools that still offer one). An MSc in Plant Science, and beyond that a PhD in a related field.
I taught undergraduate botany. Both the lecture and the lab section. I’ve worked in labs specifically looking at the early evolution of woody plants.
You’ll die on this hill: There isn’t a technical definition of the word “tree”.
- Comment on After 4 years my banana tree decided it was time to fruit! 1 week ago:
Since there isn’t a technical or widely accepted scientific definition of the word “tree”, its perfectly fine to call bamboo a tree.
