Thanks. Just what I needed. Feeling better now.

Happy to help!


Man, those Graaf sisters were da [censored] back in the day

Not much going on here in Kansas, had a good meal and some of my online orders came in and it's raining outside. It's been pretty much a good day.

What’d you get?

Lucky those in the U.S who can buy things online still. Be glad you don't have [censored] BankID

What exactly is BankID? I’m assuming it’s some kind of way of tracking people’s money and spending history.

[mirocu]

It's a way to identify yourself on the internet. That may sound good but to me it's totalitarian and it has complicated things to the point I can't buy anything online anymore. I can't order and then pay the bill like I used to without first identifying myself. Sometimes more than once. And to do this you need a smartphone and then downloading and setting it up and linking it to your account. I know this may sound easy enough for everyone here because you have smartphones, but I don't have one and I don't want one. And my point is; I used to be able to buy anything with ease before, so this is not a step forward as far as I'm concerned.


So far I can still declare my taxes and pay utilitarian bills without it, but it's only a matter of time before I can't and then I'm well and truly cooked. I'm actually scared because they never stop changing things. I probably won't even be able to go online at all soon without having to identify myself.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I get it. I know it sucks, and, for what it’s worth, I’m sorry you are having to face this.

BankID is a pain in the arse and I have it.

I need it for logging in to various things and internet purchases over a certain amount.

Trading sites require it now too, probably because of fraud (and miro knows who I'm aiming that at). I don't think you can even get a cell phone anymore without one. The SIM requires BankID to buy because drug dealers and smugglers were getting burner phones. - _-.

It's all in the name of safety but it's in reality nanny state BS, they're trying to protect us from ourselves while controlling our activities.

Soon we won't be able to take a dump without scanning that QR code.

Oh. And even immigrants can't get one. If you're on a temp resident permit, F you. Too bad.

[mirocu]

Saki is right on point. I can't even get a smartphone or a new SIM because ordering them requires BankID. I can't sell anything on trading sites because even getting an account there requires BankID.

Furthermore, to even get a new BankID I need to have a national ID card or a passport to identify myself. A driver's license isn't enough anymore.


Also; thanks, Khajiit. I wish I didn't have to deal with all this.
