This. A sane voice of reason in an insane, software-tech dork driven world.

Physical cards ftw!

Btw i love simply using cash in South America when getting a taxi, no stupid "apps", no tech nonsense. Just wait at a proper spot and hail.

Curiositiy··on Show HN: Rowboat – AI coworker that turns your work into a knowledge graph (OSS)
