“In participating health providers (clinics, pharmacy…) across , citizens eligible to healthcare support can just come with their aadhar card and the payment is handled by government directly to the provider. Could this has been done without #DPI? Absolutely not.”
Mmh… most countries show that you can have direct health insurance payment (and affordable healthcare ) with non-sovereign payment infrastructure.

“Even if the implementation of #DPI in was done by foundations, with great involvement from the software community, only the State could enable adoption: aadhar was mandated for all welfare, connected to UPI. But is DPI truly independent from Big Tech? The majority of UPI volume is handled through Google Pay, by Phone Pay, to the point that many users don’t see UPI anymore but think of it as ‘GPay’. That’s a bit of a cautionary tale.” — Sabhanaz Radhid Diya

“In , one third of GDP is spent on online gambling. The transaction costs for those are a sort of hidden digital tax taken by foreign actors. The information is kept private. With #DPI, we can make inclusion metrics much more visible. We can get a reliable credit score. We can make register holders accountable.” — Keith Breckenridge

“Most people don’t realise that Visa and Mastercard are not payment companies anymore, they are information processing companies. They make more revenue from data collection on their infrastructure than from the transaction fees, and declare that derived revenue in tax havens.” — Luca Belli
#DPI is tax-funded, but does it really cost more? Can we truly measure the opportunity value to society?

“In , the Visa-Mastercard duopoly that charged 3–5% for each transaction was broken and open to competition not thanks to more regulation, but by creating an alternative as Digital Public Infrastructure by the central bank: #Pix. The idea was taken from UPI, but with one major improvement: UPI is made by a foundation, on the idea that public sector can’t deliver well. The drawback is there is no transparency and limited accountability. Pix is subject to FoI requests.” — Luca Belli

Where it falls short

• “Digital Public Infrastructure” is currently described almost only as interoperability, which is not sufficient for #DigitalSovereignty and is a missed opportunity for supporting the creation and adoption of #DPI that aligns with EU values.
• There's still “Web 4.0” bs bingo listing VR, blockchain, quantum… let's say it's at least less bad than a few months ago where metaverse was still thrown in the mix.

@jbz

This is the problem with a CDN.

@zl2tod @ai6yr

Retesting after it worked on a different route, the problem still persists.

It sure looks like your friendly neighborhood MITM (aka CDN), is fucked up. It is not BGP, it is

@ai6yr

So, not the browser, and wget works.

It looks like the problem is happening at your CDN.
