        I didn’t get it.

        Oh shoot I just got it after I pressed the button to get a new one. Now I have to wait for a new one… or can I just type the first one…??

    It’s so unbelievably annoying that PayPal doesn’t let you use whatever display name you want to. Not everyone uses their legal name in their social life.

    I understanding needing you know your customer, but why not let me set what my display name is?!

      What? This meme is about a transaction between two trans people but that doesn’t mean all Paypal users are trans. But I agree that PayPal is proprietary software and should be banished. I will delete my account now. I planned to do it for a while but haven’t got around to it yet

      Are you dumb because the device you’re on uses proprietary firmware?

        Naw, the meme just makes it appear negative that they don’t see what’s going on with their money. I I interpreted that as them being ignorant of what happens with their money, yet still use the service. Which yes, I would consider dumb… Just my opinion though, feel free to share yours.

        Edit: Oh right, forgot to answer the question. I use graphene OS, so no worries about evil Google snacking on my data. (And Jerboa for Lemmy)

            True, I didn’t. You got me there, I’m a proprietary bootloader using, apples feet kissing, winbliws using consoomer… Is it possible to change the bootloader on a pixel 6?

        Why use a third-party at all? It’s been trivial to send money via bank transfer for a long time, check your banking app or website and you’ll likely find a way to send money with just an account number + sort code. If your country has a system like faster payments the transfer will be near-instant too.

          America has Zelle which does instant money transfers by email/phone. It’s private but it works in my banking app, is totally free, and is instant

            Zelle is a private company and not “America” wide. Your bank has to support it.

            Otherwise, youre stuck in the paypal/venmo/cashapp loop with the rest of us.

            Okay? But you presumably do still have an account with a bank or building society, right? So why use a third party when you can request a transfer from them directly?

          Not in America! Every bank transfer is a series of hoops that is a pain to jump through which take days to update.

    I just made a new account and deleted the old one when I needed to change the name. It’s stupid but it worked.
