Basically it was just a dotted line around your text. But in German it was called something like “ant platoon / queue” or such. I think this function existed between Word2000 und Word2007 if I Google correctly.

There was a function in WORD, where ants could walk around your text…

2·28 days agoThis seems to have changed for some direct / online banks. Visa Debit seems to be some kind of “standard” now. Probably the cheapest option from them.
They could produce something useful instead?!

BuyFromEU@feddit.org•Get rid of american payment providersEnglish
2·1 month agoThe problem is that the vast majority of payment cards being issued nowadays are either Visa or MasterCards (both physical and virtual). This makes it very difficult to avoid US companies when it comes to cashless payments. My current bank gives me a Visa Debit Card for free, but would charge me fees for a Girocard. I avoid PayPal as much as I can.

News@lemmy.world•‘Sometimes You Need a Dictator,’ Trump Says Following Threats to Cancel Election
10·1 month ago“We had a good speech, we got great reviews. I can’t believe it, we got good reviews on that speech,” Trump said of the widely mocked address in which he continued to demand the US take over Greenland (which he repeatedly referred to as “Iceland”) and made new tariff threats against Canada and Europe if they resist the annexation.
Iceland is probably the next country to get taken over due to it’s stategically important position for the control of the arctic sea.

Technology@lemmy.world•Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloudEnglish
5·1 month agoWhy should I? Actually, after reading the article, not just the headline, it left me rather worried. All available resources are being pumped into “AI” now, for the convenience of chatting with ChatGPT about everyday stuff, for creating Grok bikini deepfakes or Copilot MS Paint memeslop.
With the effect of computer hardware, like CPU/GPU, RAM and SSDs becoming unaffordable for normal users (and thus normal PCs which need those components), some day users might have no other choice than owning just a “stupid” rig of mouse, keyboard and screen with all computing happening in some “AI cloud”.
Sounds to me like some top-level enshittification!

Technology@lemmy.world•Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the publicEnglish
5·1 month agoI think all of these platfroms live from the engagement of the users there. I like Lemmy, but I’m also still on Reddit, because in some communities, there’s just so much more activity on Reddit than in the same community here.
Technology, UI and everything is fine and important. But if the place seems rather dead it will also struggle to attract new users.
