    @anna_gcrf Yeah there's an interest free thing on PayPal atm so i'll probably get that, the issue is I get disqualified for a lot of things because I can technically stand and get to the bathroom even though I functionally can't do anything else. Which is really frustrating.

    @janninereid1 if i refuse to pay taxes for even one tax year, or if I refuse to report income over $600 on paypal, then all hell rains down on me, but a 3d world peasant with nine kids can invade and eat the taxes that the regime has stolen from me. No, I don't care about his sad story.

    @shimipan Ahh that sucks, Paypal and many payment processors have become really overly sensitive to things and it's a big problem. I hope you can find an alternative soon

    Today a designer in Buenos Aires getting paid by a US client has 3 bad options: • Wire → 3–5 days + $25–50 fees • PayPal → 8%+ taken • Crypto → confusing, needs SOL/ETH for gas, public addresses leak income None of these feel like a normal wallet. We fix that.

    @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.

    @ecutruin @Xurran @PayPal unfortunately , you are entitled to the artist's process when that artist is selling it as a product to you , that is the point of a commission ☺ it is an artist's responsibility to accommodate you when you are purchasing a custom work from them , and once more , in this particular process the "artist" here *did* share their "progress" however it was not authentic and they continued to story that the art work was their own work without any generative AI tools used lastly , human beings are not omnipotent , so it is not viable for us to magically generate some sort of mind reading ability of foresight to tell the future as to whether or not someone is going to go back on their word or lie outright , the point remains still yet: even if you *did* make an agreement beforehand , that person can still lie , they don't have to honor their word , which is still not the fault nor responsibility of the client when the liar turns out to be the artist who was peddling a product that was dishonest , this is the very core of a "scam" what is the client meant to do ? interrogate them ? there is no guarantee of the truth , even still , the artist continues to double down , this is one particular scenario and though you are attempting to make some kind of blanket statement to defend the potential usage of AI still makes no difference here unfortunately the artist was deceptive , and agreements beforehand or after the fact made no difference , because the artist was questioned and denied the claims , and continued to be unable to produce a commission with the details requested in accuracy , instead what was delivered was inconsistent with what was advertised and the artist's behavior and "progress" provided contradicted the artist's own statements i don't disagree with the latter part of what you are saying , and some people do trace AI , you're right about this , i'm not going to get into a debate about whether it's right or wrong because it has nothing to do with the scenario . artists sometimes trace over real life references or even pictures they took of their selves for poses , sometimes models will model poses and allow artists to use it as a base for free or for cost , so i understand what you're saying . sometimes people are forthcoming about it and other times they are not , sometimes there are people out there who even trace over other artist's works without permission and sell it as their own no AI involved , but we cannot blame clients if the artist is the one who holds the responsibility to be honest about it when it comes to using AI , and the person was not drawing over AI - the luxray had 5 legs , absol has 4 eyes , even if you traced over AI to assist your art work then anyone can debate that elsewhere , but a person who is paying attention to what they're doing is not going to include these blatant mistakes , and there are even more to list . some people are still not able to easily spot AI , and they don't understand; it's still new to some , and it's still new to my friend here , people have to learn to spot it and make their choice as to whether or not they are going to support or or avoid it . but regardless of that , the artist explained away even these glaring issues as her own works , which , if it even had been true , then perhaps there is even more of an issue than the simple usage of AI . still , this is the whole purpose of making a TOS , which the artist must do; it makes no sense for that responsibility to be on the client , because it is not their business and they are not the ones who are held to account for the invoices . if you're trying to say that commissioning someone in good faith without witnessing a TOS first is unwise , then i can't entirely disagree with you , but the responsibility is still on the person who was dishonest . people may try new things and be unaware , and that's just something that happens . i've been scammed before by people who didn't even use AI , this was well over a decade ago and AI wasn't really a thing - they just simply chose not to complete the commission . i don't bear any resentments towards them or anything , so i'm not attempting to detract , i'm just saying that we cannot always prevent or predict what someone is going to do to us , so it's unfair to expect a client to be all knowing , they are not running the business , they are merely a patron and if the business owner takes advantage of the patrons , then who is at fault ? we can only know what we know until further information is revealed , and the artist here was still revealed to be deceptive in the end . perhaps it is a learning lesson for the client , sure , but for the artist , if they are not willing to operate truthfully , what can be done ? there is no willingness to change the structure of the business nor admit to the fact that AI was used , she's already determined that , which cannot be helped . we cannot force others to concede , but stand by our own convictions

    @Owlizard Ah I see now. They couldn't make the payment at the level they booked. If it were once or twice I might add with bad wi-fi / early Patreon and Paypal I used to have trouble connecting my payment methods but this seems rather a large number not just one or two?

    @RepJasonCrow When someone is cleaning up the corruption, look who yells the loudest (ie Crow). Elon tells the story about shutting down fraud at PayPal and they would complain the loudest.

    @AskPayPal My paypal has been permanently deactivated after sending some extra information about me (because they told me to do) It's been only 2 weeks since I started using it. I really don't know what to do for this, I'm actually really sad right now. Is there any way I can resolve the issue? (The cause of this might be VPN; I think I was using vpn when I was using paypal one time before because of Twitch shutdown in Korea)

  • 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.

    @7hachikyuu The only issue with that is that they require payment be sent through a specific site (like I saw PayPay for one) and if they request PayPal I just can't do that because my account has been completely shut down and I have no way to fix it 💔

    @JumpyFeller @The_Real_Lord33 Like even before that bullshit with Patreon, Paypal (which artists use for commissions) was (and still is) anti-porn. If Paypal found out you did NSFW art then there would be issues from them freezing your account and keeping YOUR money. Genuinely a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    Good job, @samgeorgegh, for this clear up because I thought the previous registration didn't go through. It left with sim registration against fraud, PayPal, and then hit more on the data issue.

    @H2gofrost @AskPayPal No problem man I went through the same thing.. You can keep trying, I've heard that sometimes it can get lifted. But generally the most they usually do is screw us over and say "It's not a mistake." They don't like to admit they're wrong.
