    Someone should create a micro-blogging app where people can discuss news and trends in brevity. This time limit the text to 150 - 200 letters. This is why we signed up to X. But right now X is Instagram, YouTube plus PayPal. Microblogging is broken. We need a new outlet. Trust me. If it's simple and fun people will leave X to build somewhere new from scratch. We miss Twitter so much.

    It is amazing just how bad @PayPal customer service operates. The "AI Assistant" is terrible. I disputed a charge after the vendor gave me the runaround. And PayPal closed the dispute in favor of the seller? Based on what?

    If there's any problems with orders you have placed PLEASE contact me on kofi first before filing claims it's easier for both of us rather than waiting on PayPal to side on something I could have given you the answer to in 20 minutes

    @lawless_silence For the time being, I’m using Stripe for payments. This way, it doesn’t pose a problem if potential clients can only pay via Apple Pay or Android Pay. However, I plan to offer PayPal as an option in the future. I’m currently in the process of setting up my PayPal Business >_<

    @maxkarpis Will do Max! Actually there's a really interesting dynamic in the Turkish market right now. For starters global payment systems like PayPal are banned here due to local data regulations. But here the crazy part even though Turkish banks are super modern and issue standard Visa and Mastercards locals still can't use Apple Pay. It’s mostly because of strict data localization laws by the local authorities and local banks not wanting to share commission fees with Apple. So instead of a simple NFC tap Turkish users are forced to unlock their phones, open a specific bank app and scan a QR code just to make a mobile payment. The irony is that as a foreigner I can easily use my overseas Revolut card with Apple Pay everywhere in Istanbul without any issues while my local friends are stuck scanning QR. If revolut can offer a smoother NFC experience or somehow navigate the Apple Pay hurdle tech savvy users will flock to them instantly. With the Lira's volatility giving locals a seamless way to hold exchange, and spend in multiple currencies without massive bank spreads is highly demanded. Actually @getmidas has also stocks and etc but they dont have banking systems. It is just for investors super app The important thing is ending money abroad from a Turkish bank account usually involves high SWIFT fees and terrible UX. Revolut's frictionless P2P and international transfers would solve a huge pain point. I'll definitely keep an eye out and share any updates!

    @Abusadeeq1968 @john322226 Honestly, this just explains why the same issues keep repeating, freelancers are the ones always stuck in the middle of all these restrictions and policies. At this point it’s really about adapting. I just use Vban on my end to avoid all this paypal stress.

    @AskPayPal Hello, I'm having trouble logging into my account because I no longer have access to the registered phone number. I can access my email, but I'm stuck at the 2FA step. Calling support is too expensive for me. Can you please help me verify my identity through other means?Thank you

    Side cash still too slow and unreliable? Hack: Get paid real money for quick user testing sessions. Tool: UserTesting — sign up, complete 15-minute tests, cash out via PayPal. Result: $50-200 extra weekly from your existing opinions. Easy margin.

    @20DollarChicken @Maryine_34 Begging for YOUR own money is crazy 😭 PayPal did same to me. Fix: Tell clients "bank transfer only" now. Cash out via Bybit P2P → instant. No begging. Never again: [check my pinned]

  • Zelvussy
    ✨Lewdish Zelvamist✨ (@Zelvussy) reported

    @Miilfywayz Respectfully, I do not understand what you are thinking is shameful. Could you please explain it to me? I know you previously did NSFW audio content but stopped when your paypal was frozen over it. I also see there is lewd art available on your patreon from this year. So I am having a hard time believing it is about NSFW content as a whole. Is it the act of inserting a microphone itself? As long as safety precautions are taken, I see no problem. I think the human body is a beautiful thing and while womb can be degenerate in the sense you are hearing the “insides” of a girl if she goes the insertion route, but it is also a very calming and comforting type of asmr audio. I think it is ok to have opinions and to dislike a certain type of content, but I’m not sure if shaming girls for having their own boundaries in the same niche you once worked in is the thing to do. If you regret your participation in nsfw work, that is ok too. There are a lot of women who get into it because of societal pressure and from the money it can bring if you do it right, but that doesn’t mean every girl that does it is shameless. I feel as if this take might have a root in self shame and guilt if you do in fact have regrets in your previous work and I urge you to find a professional that can help you work through that rather than attacking other women. Find your strength in helping empower other women, we need to focus on supporting each other not bringing one another down.

    @ashoKumar89 I don't get the kubernetes hate. The decision to use k8s has nothing to do with the number of users, traffic or complexity of your application architecture. YouTube ran fine on VMs, so did PayPal, Google and other planet scale apps. Kubernetes evolve to solve the complexity of managing a pool of VMs and the associated operational overhead and it solves that problem elegantly.

    @ParetoMichael @harleyf @ShopifySupport This is exactly why you don't run a 7-figure ecom brand on a single processor. Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal — they can freeze you overnight with zero warning. Clean record doesn't matter. The brands that don't panic when this happens have high-risk merchant accounts running in parallel. DM me if you want to fix this properly.

    @ProofOfCash @lightning This is where the problem is. The gigantic gap between what a Dev and a normie think is so simple and easy. Do you agree lightning is almost exclusive used with PayPal clones?
