Yeah Wero is more of a PayPal replacement than a credit card alternative.

The sad thing is that Italy has a Wero-like app, used especially in the North of the country, called Satispay. But apparently Satispay is not participating in the European Payment Initiative (EPI). And, the saddest things of them all, is that Satispay began as an alternative to credit cards, but now they issue a MasterCard so you can pay in every shop. Wtf the whole point of Satispay was not using American cards!

WTF is this AI slop

We should get rid of the dollar as an international currency, and also credit cards from MasterCard/VISA

I hope the UK will rejoin the EU soon. Brexit has been a shit show, and most of the people who voted to leave are dead by now anyway.

Amazon is completely useless now. Most of the things they sell are cheap shit from China with a huge markup.

Just go on AliExpress directly and you’ll find the same exact products for half, or even one third, of the price.

And for all other things, try local online shops. There are price aggregator services that help you find online shops for all the stuff you need.

Amazon is useless and they don’t deserve any money.

Oh well. I remember using Game Maker back in 2005 or so.

It was a good and easy way to learn programming. But is it serious enough to make real games nowadays?

Yeah, I’ve recently watched Smarter Every Day’s videos on YouTube about completely building a scrubber in the US. It was almost impossible and in the end he had to build a part in Canada.

I think all the problems he highlights in the videos are the same in Europe. We simply don’t have the tools and the knowledge required to manufacture products anymore.

YES! I want it. A way to get Canada closer to Europe… in preparation for them to join Schengen and the EEA

It depends.

Italy has Bancomat cards, Denmark has Dankort, etc. I can totally see the system being integrated with cards that possibly don’t have any MasterCard/Visa integration at all.

I’m Italian and we have something similar do Dankort, called Bancomat. The problem is that Bancomat too is always tied to MasterCard/Visa.

Wero is part of the EPI (European Payments Initiative). It’s going to be a network of all the digital payment apps, so you can use your own app all across Europe.

The problem is that the Italian member is Bancomat, which literally nobody uses (Bancomat is a big company, but they issue debit cards; nobody uses their digital payments service).

In Italy, the most used app is Satispay (which is very similar to Swedish Swish, Danish MobilePay, etc.). So I can’t see this initiative taking traction in Italy at the moment.

We’re calling it Super Money And John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
