Nope. I really don't see it that way. At least as a european.
Without a digital currency, the payment system we are left with is the mastercard/visa american duopoly, plus a plethora of startups that try to lock you in them, as you can only pay to and from other users of the same technology, often semi-locked to a specific country (satispay, vipps, ideal, giropay, etc)
Of course, you can live in the 1900s and pay cash, but let's be realistic.
Against the "tHey WiLl bE aBlE tO dO aNyThInG wItH uR mOneY" argument: they can already. Currencies are already backed by the fucking ecb or whatever applies in your case. The banks already have a list of all your transactions so I don't see how that would become a new concern either.
Moreover, speaking euro-wise again, there is no plan to eliminate cash with the introduction of a digital currency. And i refuse to judge a policy based on an alleged "intention", what matters is the written facts.
It has to be said that parallel to this we (users of sepa banks) now have unlimited, instantaneous, fee-less bank transfers, i belive thanks to eu regulations. It might be okay for person-to-person transfers but as of now very few businesses accept transfers and it is usually only for large purchases, the rest you are mostly expected to pay with card (visa/mc).
Thank you for your honest answer, the problem is that if cash disappears completely, people will become extremely vulnerable, and since we have a global energy crisis and possible power outages in the future, we can expect the worst at any moment.
Question -- What will you do without money when the power goes out? Sit and suffer from hunger until the power is restored?
For the elite, this is a good, albeit crazy, solution to maintaining power in conditions of instability and chaos. People tend to choose what is easier isn't it?
Ah yes. The great tyranny of checks notes digital payment processing
You know, we already have this in Brazil. The countryside has not, in fact, been burninated. In fact, last I checked we'd been schooling the first worlders on how to actually handle fascists.
Oh and we never had to bend the knee to MasterCard's forced purity rules because our digital payment system isn't privatised unlike yall's.
You need to lay off the shrooms, mate. They're fucking with your mind.
Well, you could say that, in essence, this system already exists and is already being tested in certain countries, but just wait, soon they'll introduce special tattoos instead of passports, and then it'll be fun.
reminds me of "The minority report"' plot (i have not read it, though, but i'd gladly do, much more than watching the movie: i think Philip K. Dick's novels movie adaptations are not great, compared with the novels i've read, except maybe "blade runner", that is anyway very different from "do androids dream of electric sheeps?")
@jones Me neither - not on a TV, or that I pay for, anyway 😉
It was depressing as fuck when it was released in 2016, so you can imagine what it's like now. No one needs to settle down of an evening to get over a day in the real world and watch that shit.
i trust you on your words, because i think most of the fictional production of today isn't worth the time (that's why i don't have tv and i read not many books, mostly nonfiction, and watch few films; i just listen to much music, if i want to get into some mood to understand things, or even just to relax), and because i think that this is not the moment to spend much time on entertainment.

I would like to see the abbreviation "antifa" phased out, and everyone saying "anti-fascist" and "anti-fascism" instead. Make it as obvious as possible what 47 and his buddies are trying to sweep out of their way.

In this podcast, activist Tommy Marcus, born and raised in a Zionist family explains how he now dedicates himself to helping starving Palestine and how this was the most important dilemma of his life : understanding how he had been manipulated to consider Israel was the only way to prevent another Shoah. He also gives a summary of life aboard.
Meta AI app has launched "Vibes," a new feed of AI-generated videos similar to TikTok. Users can create or remix clips, although early reception has been mostly negative, with users questioning why this feature exists at all alternativeto.net/news/2025/9/…
The image depicts a user interface for an image editing application. On the left side, there is a large image of an orange, furry character riding a motorcycle against a blue wall background. Below this image, there are three buttons labeled "Add music," "Change image," and "Change animation," with a "Generate" button below them. A color wheel is centrally located, surrounded by various icons and buttons, including a "Remix" button at the top and a "Vibes" button to the right. On the right side, there are four smaller images: a cat with cucumber slices for eyes, a moose on a trampoline, a van in a snowy landscape, and a person playing soccer. At the bottom, there is a text box labeled "Describe your image."

For the first – I don’t know how long – chunk of time the group was working, the focus was on, OK, let’s figure out which one of these approaches we’re going to standardize. And all the conversations were focused around that. And as you can imagine, it went round and round in circles. No one could agree, because everyone was invested in their own option....

Surprising that post-processing film is more time consuming that digital, I mean: the time spent for self-scanning + dust and scratch removal in #GIMP is more than just fine-tuning colors of my digital photos in #RawTherapee. On the other hand, no need to merge exposure bracketed photos because the dynamic range of film is impressive, Kodak Portra 400 in this case.

On many platforms, we are no longer the customers, but instead have become the product. Our data, even if anonymised, is sold on to actors we never intended it to reach, who can then target us with content and advertising. This includes deliberately harmful content that leads to real-world violence, spreads misinformation, wreaks havoc on our psychological wellbeing and seeks to undermine social cohesion.
Another propagandist article by the bourgeoisie. Not a word for the gap between workers and the elite in each country. Just bullshits to break the unity of the working class. In this propagandist article we need to have a fight between old and young workers... time.com/7320745/boomers-pensi…

Millions of Americans have no retirement savings (20-50% of all U.S. adults, depending on the survey). Consequently, they will never be able to truly retire, or will be dependent on friends and family and/or die in poverty. Social security, if it even survives the Trump butcher block, is generally not enough to live on without additional savings or investments.
The next time someone tells you that "we don't have money for pensions", remember this report about the tax of the elite:
"Wealth inequality is evident worldwide, including in #Europe. As of early 2025, the wealthiest 5% of the population in the eurozone controlled 45% of net household wealth, while the top 10% held 57.4%, according to the European Central Bank (#ECB).
This concentration of wealth keeps the debate over wealth taxes at the centre of discussions in many countries. Most recently, French billionaire Bernard Arnault strongly opposed a proposed 2% levy on citizens with assets over €100 million, calling it “an offensive that is deadly for our economy”.
Over the past three decades, several countries have repealed individual wealth taxes. The number of #OECD members levying such taxes fell from 12 in 1990 to just 4 in 2017. They are European countries: #Austria (1994), #Denmark (1997), #Germany (1997), the #Netherlands (2001), #Finland, #Iceland, and #Luxembourg (all in 2006), and #Sweden (2007)."
Several European countries have repealed wealth taxes in recent decades. As of 2025, only three still impose a tax on individual net wealth, while a few others levy taxes only on selected assets.

"[W]henever I need a Redocly or Swagger UI CLI command, again, I use ChatGPT. And it does something the site doesn’t do in that I get completed commands ready to run. Easier, faster, and more productive than going to your site. Writers may not do this a lot themselves. Developers do. This is where thinking like a developer comes in. They use AI for programming. Don’t take my word for it. Ask around. Watch developers work. Write an application yourself, something I advocate API documentation writers must do anyhow. These suggestions are for seeing how AI is creeping into the developer’s work style.
That means developer don’t know or care what the site looks like. Only that the content is there. The key is that AI doesn’t make up information. It gets it from somewhere. And that somewhere is your site. The more complete the information, field explanations (remember this one from earlier?), and interactions, the more complete the AI can be. That means happier developers.
In that regard, writers will always have a job writing content. Writers won’t always have a job formatting the output or publishing files. Your publishing tools are needed for the moment. But you need to be thinking two to five years in advance. Now."
