Have you maybe tried to open the website on a desktop pc? Maybe it will give you other options e.g. Apple wallet, which would result in a PKpass file? There has to be some way for apple users. Or maybe ask a friend with an Iphone to open it, try to download it and if it is a pkpass send it to you?

And yet another question, if I send an email asking the transportation authority what kind of technology they use for travel documents, if they provide any alternative to google or any way to download the ticket in either pkpass format or any other format that doesn’t require me to give my personal data to a data grabber, if they provide plastic travel cards to people that won’t allow their data to be used by google, what are the chances they won’t ignore me or outright laugh at me?

50:50 tbh, either you get someone who had bad experience with privacy laws (or something where privacy laws were severely misunderstood and resulted in a worse product because people didn’t check things properly. That is how it often goes in my experience.). Or you get someone who understands your problem and can help you.

I just learned what a pkpass file because some of you seem to know this technology, but ain’t it an apple technology?

while pkpass files are developed by Apple they can be used on Android with several Apps (i think they might be even usable with Google Wallet but i am not sure.). So often times when something can be added to the wallet i just click the Apple button, get the file and add it to my app. (In Germany, usage spread depends heavily on the region. Big city events often have wallet links for tickets etc.)

The use of screenshots or PDFs is not secure. Fraud would be way too easy if they allowed it.

I am legitimately curious how that would result in fraud? The ticket still has to be scanned which can not be forged (i hope at least?)

Sometimes local providers claim that screenshots are not allowed. It is really annoying and you have to show your id all the time.

Nevermind i saw the follow up post, how fucked up is that. I apologize for my misdirected advice.

Sorry i dont follow? Google Wallet also supports pkpass files and i doubt that they use anything else. That would be so much harder for no gain.

They are usually just .pkpass files, so any app that can show them should work. Most likely the “Hinzufügen zu Google Wallet” link will also work since it just links to the pkpass file. But be prepared to get asked if it is a screenshot a lot. I am using passandroid (further down this thread) and it works.

In Germany you essentialy have the choice between a debit card or a Girocard, why anyone would choose a Girocard instead of a debit card is a real headscratcher for me. So many disadvantages for only a few advantages. Especially if you consider that many banks without a debit card also have fees just for having an existing account and often times you can‘t even get money from every atm without fees. So while i underdzanf your points i don‘t think taking a credit card is US centric at all, it is just the superior card.

»Will der Staat den privaten Vermögensaufbau erleichtern, könnte er die Arbeitseinkommen entlasten«, sagt IW-Verteilungsexperte und Studienkoautor Maximilian Stockhausen. »Wenn Arbeitnehmer mehr Netto vom Brutto behalten, eröffnet ihnen das zusätzliche Spielräume für die Vermögensbildung.«

Wenn man mehr Geld hat, hat man mehr Geld. Danke IW-Verteilungsexperte. (IW als Abkürzung wird im Artikel leider kein einziges mal definiert.)

Eigentlich nicht. Ob beide Vollzeit arbeiten oder einer weniger Arbeit macht für das Ergebnis bei der gemeinsamen Veranlagung keinen Unterschied.

Das stimmt zwar, aber das Ehegattensplitting mit gemeinsamer Veranlagung sorgt schon dafür, dass Ehen in denen beide unterschiedlich viel verdienen mehr davon profitieren als wenn beide gleich verdienen. Ein Ehepaar was 2x40000 verdient zahlt den gleichen Steuersatz wie eins wo 1x10000 und 1x70000. Das fördert ja Modelle mit stark unterschiedlichen Einkommen, da es ja mehr Sinn macht wenn eine:r zurücksteckt damit dey andere die Karriereleiter aufsteigen kann
