Cryptocurrencies are often understood to enable private payments, but most don't. Monero does, but its value still fluctuates and wastes energy (even if far less than Bitcoin) in time of the climate catastrophe.
GNU Taler is a (free software) system which enables anonymity for the buyer but not for the merchant, enabling taxability. In effect it's digital cash you can even use offline without having an internet connection at payment time. It is not a new (crypto-) currency.
The linked news article reveals an EU project which will implement GNU Taler for two European banks (located in Germany and Hungary) in the next 36 months. I assume the reason the EU supports Taler is the Digital Euro (archive.org snapshot).

There have been a few posts featuring an alt text, which are text descriptions of the image for people with visual impairments.
I've just wanted to post an image, lost my description due to a bug (?) in the app I'm using and wonder:
Is there even anybody here who finds use in this?
Obviously this might change if there enough alt texts, but it helps me to judge how much energy to spend on creating them. Please upvote the comment below which indicates your position or add your own.
