Making an unlisted post. If you see this and aren't following me, are you running Pleroma? hmmm...

@SlicerDicer is that a lawn mower or what?

@chadisfaction @stux Paypal is in a much different class than Stripe, so I think it's probably less likely in 2024

Paypal used to have a lot of issues with scams and fraud, but they poured billions into fixing that. While they did this, the rest of their experience suffered.

Stripe came in and got popular being so much easier to work with than Paypal. But now Stripe is going through the same pains...

Someone like OpenPayments will now be coming in to take over where Stripe is failing, and in a couple years they'll have the same problem

Reminder they can't take away your ability to send crypto

@pete_wright @justine @FreeBSDFoundation not a poster, but I also have a Beastie laser etched into granite

@pete_wright @justine @FreeBSDFoundation the posters are hard to find, I still have a very old one

bonus dog reflection

@lanodan @yyp C is safe if your hardware is doing the security (CHERI)

@mathowie not impossible, there are search engines (mostly private), but this entire concept will put you on the Bad List by the gatekeepers of the fediverse

@raulinbonn development feedback cycles are pretty important to keep within reason, so if you as a developer have to wait 30 minutes every time you refactor something and want to test the change it's gonna be a serious drag

and that also doesn't address the burden this places on kernel developers who cannot afford the latest and greatest CPUs

@SlicerDicer Buy Now Pay Later should be a money printer but somehow they're not making money? How do they have a net loss? They do nothing but charge interest!

thinking about the time slicerdicer totally owned some dope on here about economic policy and the guy turned out to work at the federal reserve

never uninstalling this app

@lain why didn't you crop the other dude out
