When you configure Apple Pay you are still proxying to visa Mastercard though right?

At the end of the day all plastic currency is hosted on Amex visa or MC

It’s crazy there’s no open banking

When you say digital wallet, I have Apple Pay but that’s just a layer between payment and my Mastercards

Is there something I could get that’s widely accepted?

In fact all payment portals I’ve seen demand a visa mastercard

Ever thought about how strange it is that this duopoly handles such a large volume of transactions?

What are we doing to combat this?

Oooh an RT link

Let me just leave my common sense by the door and just accept everything here written as fact

On one hand I want to foster discussion so I don’t mind older posts being buried.

However it would be good to have the space organised by text books perhaps, but this may eventually get stale

I was thinking tags would be useful but i don’t know effective it would be to have #ArbitraryBook #ChapterOne #Question13 as tags to search for? Would it even work?

Cheers I’ll check it out and revert back

Edit: does an app like lemmy have the foundation to host something like a “specific math textbook forum” where subsections are dedicated to individual textbooks?

I’m looking for a study group for a specific maths textbook I’m reading

Discord math forum is too big and my queries get swamped so I don’t use it

I’d appreciate some advice on this and also how to develop my federated use of the internet

Valhalla only sounds like a nice place to go because I’ve played Skyrim

Let’s face it though: it’s probably a bit of a shit place to be what with all the fighting types of neuroses getting together makes for some shit energy to spend an eternity around

Cancers just one or those bad ROI things

Like you’ve got enough money surely you’d have solved cancer by now?

Sometimes you need to “I dunno” totally slash the funding to stimulate the industry a bit you know?
