These products (have been determined to) have environmental, economical, and health risks.
There isn't really a word in common usage in English that means "with respect to the matter of ones health" that can be used in that construction,so you end up with passive voice statements.
It's the way they're doing it that is the problem. There are already existing anonymous contactless payment systems that could be doing this in stores (from a consumer pov). The difference is that they don't track you so they're of limited interest to surveillance capitalism corps.
I just left a music festival where literally everything was controlled via RFID wallet chips on a bracelet. It's fast and excellent. Festival entrance, area access (lounges, vip, backstage, etc...), food and beverage purchases, shuttle bus access, vendor purchases, even some taxis in the area, all paid from a virtual wallet I loaded with currency and not linked to my bank accounts or social media, or store profiles. Presumably they made a profile of my purchase and travel patterns during the week to optimize their routes and services in future, but since they have no way to tie that to ME, they can't really sell off my data.
Rambling yes, but the point is whether or not the new low-friction payment systems operate as a cash analog (quick, anonymous, portable, loosely coupled to financial networks) or as a credit analog (non-anonymous, tightly coupled to financial systems, non-portable, etc)
Especially the East.
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
La Bamba - Los Lobos
Macarena - Los Del Rio
Despacito - Luis Fonsi / Daddy Yankee
99 Luftballons - Nena
Sadeness, part 1 - Enigma
Volaré - Domenico Modungo
Why? Specifically, with numbers.
Currently reading The Mushroom at the End of the World by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing. Excellent both as ethnography and as multivalent critique of capitalism.
That's what the "Frontpage" is
Photography software in general.
Photo Mechanic, On1 plugins, and Capture One - there isn't a single piece of FOSS photography software that is remotely useful for my use cases.
High volume tethered shooting with automatic application of edits and adjustments in separate layers is basically impossible.
Fast culling of hundreds or thousands of images along with applying metadata with templates is also not really possible.
Darktable and Digikam are okay Lightroom replacements, but they don't come close to touching what is available in the proprietary world. Rawtherapee doesn't do tethering at all, and isn't very good at what it does do compared to On1 Photo Raw or Capture One.
Isn't that just a pergola with new marketing?
It would have to be The Song of Hiawatha by Longfellow, even if he is currently so far out of fashion as to be essentially forgotten.
Not disagreeing with you, just pointing out that the frictionless payment system doesn't have to be a privacy invasion in order to exist.
