@halla @weilaverdui Thank you Halla. 💛 Courage for that.
My (obviously biased) feeling is that the medals of "No AI inside" for Krita is precious, especially when the audience is the digital painting art community who suffered a lot about genAI imagery.
Preserving this "No AI inside" outweighs a lot, imo, the convenience of coding. Simple marketing strategy/PR math. But I'll trust your experience of coding, and if you estimate it really worth it, I'll try to stay open.

@enki_2931 quello che dici sull'esperienza d'uso è corretto ed è proprio questo il fulcro della questione: per l'utente finale l'azione di scansionare un QR code alla cassa deve risultare fluida e immediata, che dietro ci sia un wallet precaricato o un bonifico SEPA istantaneo. La familiarità del gesto è la killer application per l'adozione di massa di qualsiasi nuova tecnologia di pagamento.
Il fatto che tu abbia associato Wero a Satispay per il tipo di interazione quotidiana dimostra quanto il pubblico sia già stato "educato" a metodologie svincolate dalle carte di credito fisiche. La grande scommessa per Wero sarà replicare questa naturalezza su scala continentale, andando a scontrarsi con abitudini locali spesso eterogenee e fortemente radicate, come il persistente attaccamento ai contanti in alcune aree della Germania o l'uso capillare delle carte di debito nazionali in Francia o la ritrosia degli esercenti italiani.
L'architettura account-to-account è il motore invisibile che garantisce l'indipendenza strategica europea dai circuiti americani, ma il successo dell'iniziativa EPI si giocherà interamente sulla superficie. Se l'integrazione all'interno delle app bancarie dovesse risultare macchinosa, o se richiedesse un numero eccessivo di passaggi per confermare un semplice conto al ristorante, gli utenti tornerebbero in un lampo ad affidarsi ad Apple Pay o Google Wallet, che dalla loro vantano un'integrazione nativa e quasi impercettibile a livello di smartphone.
Un altro aspetto cruciale, dove il tuo paragone regge perfettamente anche dal punto di vista commerciale, è la conquista degli esercenti. Satispay ha costruito la sua base in Italia offrendo commissioni trasparenti e azzerate per i micro-pagamenti, convincendo i negozianti stessi a proporlo attivamente ai clienti. Wero dovrà mettere in campo una strategia economica altrettanto vantaggiosa sul lato merchant. Senza un reale e tangibile incentivo economico per chi sta dietro la cassa, sarà difficile scalzare terminali POS già ottimizzati per i colossi internazionali.
L'infrastruttura di Wero è complessa e idealmente ambiziosa, ma per trionfare nel mondo reale dovrà letteralmente "scomparire" dietro un'interfaccia utente rassicurante. Pensi che le banche tradizionali, storicamente non sempre brillanti nello sviluppo di interfacce agili, riusciranno a rendere questa esperienza davvero fluida e competitiva contro i giganti del tech?
@macfranc @enki_2931 @dietilico bisogna anche capire quanto si paga in commissioni
Ad esempio dalle mie parti c'è stata una forte adozione di satispay, salvo vedere diversi esercenti toglierlo dalle modalità di pagamento perché a loro dire troppo costoso (a differenza della carta di credito che continuano a utilizzare)
@deborahh @Routhinator @8r3n7 @rayckeith @sundogplanets "Smog" = smoke + fog. How about "spog" (space + fog)?
@msbellows @deborahh @Routhinator @8r3n7 @rayckeith I've posted this before: satellite industry people *hate* it when we use the term "megaconstellation"
I'm not sure why, but they repeatedly ask astronomers to say "large constellation" instead of "megaconstellation."
I am a completely undiplomatic jerk so I now have multiple published papers and media articles with "megaconstellation" in the title, because I know they hate it.
I really like smog though! Smear and spog are quite good too

@arstechnica 99% of calls to my phone are robo calls. 25% are blocked by filters. the same is true for my email - 99% spam. SMS is a little better but only because I use it to communicate. this shit sucks.

Instead of “constellation”, the collective noun for satellites should be “smog”.
“A smog of satellites made it impossible to enjoy a night sky viewing, despite otherwise perfect weather.”

🧱 The secret ingredient holding the Great Wall of China together is sticky rice.
Ming Dynasty masons (1368-1644) mixed boiled sticky rice soup into their lime mortar. The result was a tough, flexible, water-resistant binder that has held brick sections together for around 600 years.
The chemistry: sticky rice is packed with amylopectin, a complex starch. In 2010, chemists led by Bingjian Zhang at Zhejiang University found that amylopectin acts as a template, steering calcium carbonate crystals into a dense, interlocking structure instead of large brittle chunks.
That compact microstructure is why some wall sections have shrugged off earthquakes and still keep weeds out of the seams centuries later.

The pinebook pro turned on after a few hours on the charger.
It appears to have a broken debian install on it. It boots, and I can log in, but there are no home directories so I can't get to an x interface, and it looks whatever files might have been here are gone.
Also the keyboard doesn't work.
Well, no.
bnm,./78 and enter work, but the rest of the keyboard doesn't. Maybe some of the modifiers do too, but I didn't have enough software to test them.
So uhhh... partial success?

But, at some point I'll find it and rip it out of the tablet case, install the current debian build on the thing, and design some kind of doodad to roughly affix it to a keyboard, and figure out if it's usable the way I'd like it to be.
