#banks — Public Fediverse posts

@ashwin @trashheap @MsDropbear42 @lianna I agree with this, while at the same time:

I weight the #infrastructure damage from #computing #power as the higher priority to avoid which includes:

+ #datacenters
+ #people running it
+ #banks funding it (and @wars at the same time)

This is the higher #priority than most cost.

Avoiding #AI therefore saves the demand (whole #list above) because of what it uses / involves [most bad / wasteful / consumptive things and same style people behind it].

More cashless payment services for children are being made available in Japan, allowing parents to check their children's balances and spending history through an app to prevent excessive spending. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/21/japan/society/cashless-payment-services-children/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #cashless #children #apps #banks

Why #European #Banks rejected OTP generators? Because of PSD2 directive that considers "traditional" tokens inadequate because they did not dynamically link the authorisation code to the specific transaction: a generated code could theoretically be reused or fail to reflect changes to the amount or the payee, creating risks of fraud and a lack of reliable traceability.
So I just wonder why an OTP can't be produced using an additional "salt" code

@justine
I just wonder if there's a maintained, curated list of #banks that do not requires #proprietarySoftware to access their services.
According to https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/banking-service-providers-that-do-not-require-an-app/26730 there is https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/ but "Banking Applications Compatibility with GrapheneOS" is not an answer, it is a workaround. Ideally we should just need a #browser

@ashwin ...#adapt according to themselves in order to create their own balance from #basic #principles, to some extent anchoring us all as we mostly agree on #caring.

2 simplified ways to #agree these things:

1 = we see #bad, we agree and put those on a list of bad together (such as #banks).

2 = we see #good solutions, we agree they are good / "getting there" / #WIP and put those on a list that improves position / #thinking over #time.

Both ways leaves us with or leads us to what's needed...

@ashwin Ok so you agree (it wasn't clear at the start). I hate the 'yes / no' ultimatum always but with Banks it's clear.

I'm not even sure about #crypto / #cryptocurrency but 100% I know it helped the #truckers in the exact moment they tried to shut them down for similar reasons so it's something of a progress to an #alternative and not just Bad #Banks as our faulty foundations.

Thanks for reply (try reply to my last post also you said you need time to think about)

@collective_truth @RichardJMurphy @aral

Read the pinned post on my profile.

There are a few institutions that work in collusion to run people’s lives, and form the basis of the #Matrix.

1. #Schools
2. #Churches
3. #Governments
4. #Corporations
5. #Media
6. #Banks

Once I became a #whistleblower against the system, in 2023, #WellsFargo #bank would not give me my own money. They still have not.

( Details: https://whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/ )

It’s time for the biblical prophecy to come true, and the money lenders to be kicked out.

Here’s how:
https://rant.li/ashwin/visions-for-a-new-web

AlohaCoin v2 redistributes wealth, and brings about #degrowth

With full bellies, people have the courage to break free of the Matrix, and #disobey leaders. Political, religious, military, corporate leaders etc.

Little incentive for #crime, #war, #violence.

Please boost and spread the message!

Banks take savings and invest it in war (sometimes both sides)
(devalues us all)

Banks sell money
(this debt devalues the face-value of money in #circulation now)

Banks #lend / #loan people's money for increasing it's own #power & #monopoly

#Banks & Money are the #root of #bad #power / #civilisation / " #infinite growth " / #destruction

The RICH don't want to change their power! Don't beg them to change!

Agree? @RichardJMurphy @aral @ashwin

Italy’s cheese vaults struggle amid country’s heat waves

Italians have long been able to secure loans with wheels of Parmesan — but the vaults where banks store AUD $572 million (approx. $405 million USD) worth of cheese are under strain. The system dates back to the 1950s a…

Serving #banks your #energy and storing it there is different from serving the #earth, #people and #land around.

Serving banks is different from serving #good people or your own #village area.

#Summary of GOOD:
- serve the earth and land around
- serving #good people
- serving your own #village / area

Banks #extract and dump on everything (even #PumpAndDump themselves) so it's 100% a better bet to use #Banks LE$$... !
