  @the_popemichael Is that Why Shoprite, PayPal, tiktok, etc had problems in Nigeria? They can't compete? Nigerians need to develop a sense of accountability

  @Aerea_caeles No, actually I don't have that message, but I know who it is because of the comms. The biggest problem that theme from the PayPal and socialmedia theft (which I never got back my PayPal, because according to PayPal I am not me) is that person blocked many people on my social media and deleted entire chats, in addition to changing the passwords and emails. So I didn't even get the full conversations and when I recovered my accounts, I could never contact them again on Twitter because I never found them to explain what happened, and they never responded to me on Instagram either. Obviously, I contacted as many people as I could.

  PYPL -14% over two sessions as Stripe/Advent walk away from $53B bid PayPal fell 12.71% on Friday, Aug. 28, when the walkaway news broke, then another 1.85% on Monday, Aug. 31. Cumulatively, that’s roughly 14.3% from Thursday’s close through Monday’s close as Bloomberg News reported that payment processor Stripe and private equity firm Advent International have abandoned their planned $53 billion acquisition of the fintech giant. Stripe and Advent had previously offered $60.50 per share; talks broke down after the bidders and PayPal's board failed to agree on a higher valuation. The collapse leaves PayPal to pursue an independent turnaround under new CEO Enrique Lores amid intensifying competition from digital payment platforms and slower organic growth. The drop erases months of deal-related gains and forces investors to reassess PayPal's standalone operational progress and profitability outlook. Two investment banks have slashed price targets in response, with Mizuho cutting its target to $51 and Loop Capital to $50, both citing competitive pressures and execution risk. Investors should monitor whether PayPal management explores alternative strategic options or accelerates its cost restructuring to restore investor confidence. #PYPL

  Found a bug in my store today. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

  Crap, do I HAVE to submit some kind of photo ID to get my new Stripe/Kofi account to work? I said no to that for two whole years and my old Paypal account got shut down last week.

  @hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

  @verstarppens they're trying to shut down the donations system (attempting to report to paypal and other portals that AO3 accepts donations from about the "depraved works" hosted by the website)
