just look at their profile. 220 posts and 180 comments in 2 months. isn't it suspicious?

this user has been posting lots of questionable things. lately I see them often

nearly all websites implement cookie banners illegally, by intention, and that's not the fault of the GDPR

I dont see how would it be a flaw of visa, but according to the Taler FAQ this is a feature.

## Can I send money to my friends with Taler?

Taler supports push and pull payments between wallets (also known as peer-to-peer payments). While the payment appears to be directly between wallets, technically the operation is intermediated by the payment service provider which will typically be legally required to identify the recipient of the funds before allowing the transaction to complete.

an additional note: part of why is it not perfect is that you can't send money privately to another person, like you would do with cash. in transactions like that there is a 3rd party involved that overses the transaction

I feel anger in that post title

oh yes we do. fuck digital payments with its privacy nightmare. fuck visa and mastercard for selling our purchase information, and who knows what avenues will this system have for tracking.

also, who the fuck wants to carry a phone all the time. I don't want to *have to* carry it even if just going to the shop on the corner.

cash is best. nobody but the cashier can deny a transaction with it.

if we can keep using cash mostly anywhere, this is good news

if it doesn't do card, it's not an alternative anyway

oh my sweet summer child

it was an attempt to refer to the phrase "I've altered the deal, pray I don't alter it further"

this is not "learning some second thing", but learning that the deal was altered

the people living there more strongly identified with Russia, wanted to be able to keep speaking Russian without persecution, and eventually pleaded with Russia to intervene on their behalf, which Russia fortunately did

this is the first time I hear this story. the previous story was "cleaning out nazis" or something like that. it seems goalposts have grown wheels
