I’m curious too, especially because this in effect means it relies on US technology and services. If the US government were to cut off Master Card and Visa and then presses the off switch on those app stores or Google Play Services for Europe, you’re not going to be able to pay, whether it’s through Wero or through a US-run credit/debit card.

We have the same problem in Switzerland, we’ve had something like Wero for a decade (it’s called Twint) but the damn thing runs on Google Cloud Platform and is an app that’s exclusive to iOS and Android.

How did you get rid of the content recognition?

I can’t speak for everyone who downvoted, but maybe allow me to share a viewpoint.

Some see the use of generative AI as simply stealing other people’s hard-earned craft and talent (for the generated art) and programming skills, without even so much as credit or visibility. Plus setting the planet on fire for it, using up precious non-renewable resources, draining aquifers, endangering jobs etc. while making billionaires richer and more powerful and taking away the means of production from the common folk. Who will have to pay the powerful for compute time because they’ve deskilled so much they can’t put together a gallery shooter game themselves anymore.

Not trying to troll or flame or anything, but what’s a good tool for some is all those bad things for others. That’s why any use of it gets such a negative reaction, especially in the fediverse.
