What's the best payment gateway between Drupal Commerce module to a French bank? My client used Paybox previously but its Drupal module is out of date. Are there any cooperative or ethical options I should consider?

@pzmyers is this talking about antivaxxers? Is the COVID vaccine a mere inconvenience?

Check out "solar punk", "Climate fiction". But the descent will likely be so traumatic and chaotic, compounded by climate change, that there's little point imagining the end. Also see

@syndikalista Very kind though I don't believe we met?
Not sure if you are looking for academic literature, social commentary, or fiction. The most 'realistic' paths to net zero according to IPCC depend on tech that doesn't exist yet, and quantities of rare earths which are probably unmineable. Maybe the dearth of literature reflects these inconvenient truths.

@syndikalista There's no such thing as zero emissions, but there are many possible configurations about how humanity as a whole might emit net zero, ranging from genocide to neopastoralism, fully automated luxury communism and many tech-topias.

I don't think we can stop facebook from doing anything. It should be possible however to build an alternative payments/ money network that cannot be co-opted. See https://creditcommons.net

@cy For a definition of The Gift read Marcel Mauss. A system of credit indicates obligation, often legally enforced, to return a specific amount.This is very far from gifting.

What should small US nonprofits be using these days instead of PayPal?

really helpful sensemaking of the pandemic so far and the innappropriate government response. https://worlddoctorsalliance.com

@cy Then you promise to give something later. The unit of account on the ledger is the record of the difference between what you have received and what you have promised.
Some people call it credit money.

@cy Definitely NOT like a gift economy. Its an exchange system, with a precise unit of value. Instead of minting tokens and pretending they are valuable, members just promise to give as much as they receive.

@cy mutual credit systems another paradigm from blockchain and silver monies. I have much work to educate the public in this largely forgotten/ignored paradigm. Sometimes they are called moneyless systems because the credit members created is only accepted by other members. Hence 'mutual'. Its no microloans because its not money. All members have is the goods and services they produce and their promises.
