I really want to try /e/ but as a swede I need some apps to work namely "mobilt bankid", "swish" and my bank app. You guys know if this should be possible? In Sweden these functions are as important as a credit card or drivers licence, its very hard without them!
@resist1984
Yes that would be ideal but not realistic.. Can't even use my bank card online without my bankID app.. And mp one have cash anymore so without the "swish" app I can't pay my friends.. And on markets these are the preferred ways of paying..

@Meatball @e_mydata @oilyfish I was in Denmark for a couple months & encountered cashless shops. I was quite disgusted because I'm aware of the #WarOnCash & the impact on poor ppl - and what an injustice it is to not have a cash option. So even though I carry plastic, I #boycott #cashless shops to fight the war on the right side.
@resist1984
Yes it is really inconvenient for certain groups of people to live in this society. Maybe not so much poor people (these days everyone in Sweden can afford a basic smartphone) as old people and refugees without the know-how odd how to handle these devices and services...

@Meatball @oilyfish @e_mydata Denmark & Sweden have the highest income equality in the world (top 3 or so), so I'm sure there's no problem for locals there. But no one is immune to technical failure (like my valid card being rejected). And apart from the privacy abuse, Visa & Mastercard does political blockades (e.g. they blocked donations to #wikileaks). So it's still important to fight against the #WarOnCash.
@oilyfish @e_mydata @Meatball I couldn't even do laundry in Denmark -- the machines required an online top-up from plastic. They managed to fuck up something that was quite simple: coin operated machines.
