Yes please! I’d love the ability for electronic money transfers (even offline!) without being dependent on private service partners like fucking Google, Apple and Mastercard.
Maybe explain it more as a payment standard, a protocol, not so much as another currency.
whatsapp’s killer feature was “no killer features, just a messaging app with number-bound IDs and good UI that even my grandma can use with minimal setup”. for anything like that again I’d change, but the minute they think they need to add something like numberless IDs, or stickers, or a social media feature, or a payment system, they can fuck right off.
and smaller screens? 145 x 65 mm would be perfect! and anything larger than 150 x 70 is too big.
same here, I’d be happy about an invite too!
If you decide on TNG, make sure to look up viewing guides on TNG (they should be around here somewhere). Like most Star Trek series, they’re off to a bit of a bumpy start, and I’d heavily recommend only watching the last episode of season 1, the five or so highest rated episodes of season 2, and then jumping in fully at season three. You can come back later to rewatch what you missed, but it will make for a much more pleasant start.
Solid advice all around. Man am I glad to be here again!
then we’d better get started!
EU policy is so hit and miss because the EU Parliament mostly has our backs, and is introducing good legislation protecting consumers of corpo overreach (like the roaming directive). The EU Commission on the other hand has only the interest of the EU countries’ governments in mind, which makes many of its proposals rather shitty of the common citizen. Also tells you a lot about what the actual national governments stand for, when somebody else is doing more for the citizens than they are.
