I don't think it went over your head.

? NOT_RICK discerned what I did not on first view. Compliment. The meme did not whoosh past NOT_RICK. Why do you think "ice cold" unless you mean 'super cool'?

No worries. I will probably add "thumbs up" or something next time to make it clearer.

If they like it well enough, they could have offspring on their own.

Unsafe back seat passenger exit starts earlier than that, my 2005 Saturn had a set of horrible doors. I avoided carrying more than one passenger as often as possible.

Does this mean IVF Freezer entities can claim all those children as dependents for their tax returns?

Not sure why they didn't include paints and their colors. You know, for more green checks.

Confession: I still don't know what boost does here. It must do something bad because so rare do I see on a post "boost(1)" or "boost(anyothernumber)" for that matter. Should I also avoid "boost"? Or does the interface only show when our individual boosts?

Going to suspect that Arc browser has similar settings. Based on viewing Preferences > General > Manage: [Privacy and Security]

Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance? (lemmy.world)

According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return....

Does that chart include actual RSS hits or only "RSS" used in things like this post and my questions? Or does it read minds to find their interest in RSS?

Gikiski,
@Gikiski@fedia.io avatar

I should note that I firmly HOPE that it does NOT include actual RSS hits (when your reader pulls another post in an RSS feed) because that would mean Google sits in line with every RSS feed. (I also HOPE it does not read minds, for the record.)

Probably spelled "cents" incorrectly.

Curious what kind qualifies as a legal robocall.

@Gikiski@fedia.io avatar

This needs a time limitation. Just you and I transacted something back in the 1900s does not mean I should receive a robocall from you out of the blue.

Patreon having issues again causing thousands of people’s payments to be declined (i.imgur.com)

Many creators mentioning they lost hundreds of their patrons suddenly and patrons confused as to why their payments are being declined. Patreon is such an old company that hasnt done anything to improve their service for years while the CEO makes youtube videos and seemingly nothing with the company. I hate how much of a...

Patron affected here, though not same as article image experience.

I tried to individually re-establish each creator to which I had subscribed. Some went through and some keep erroring. Using the FAQ for declined payments, I keep seeing this blue "1" in a box before the page loads completely (like an unread 'flag') so I think something has failed during that load which might have helped with everything.

The FAQ also mentions that they re-try payments "throughout the month" while keeping you a member, though denying access to paid benefits and posts. So, I had decided to wait it out. Though, after seeing this, something more widespread has happened.

Meant to add, their help and support doesn't offer much. I have two tickets with numbers, but no idea how to check status.

"complete control over the content and products you can exchange for money"

This suddenly aligns with which creators had failed in my attempts at individual payment where the monthly bulk had failed (maybe due to including the ones which failed). One, an RPG supplement creator, has me scratching my head. I saw recently that the art of some of these has caused CC companies to deny payments. F that.

As of August 3rd, 07:10 PDT

"Identified - An unrelated issue is causing a slightly higher-than-normal number of patron payments to be erroneously flagged as fraudulent by their banks. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this may cause creators and their patrons. We are working diligently with our partners to resolve this."

Wild they have enough officers to monitor each unhoused person to ensure they can ticket every time this happens.

Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears (www.theverge.com)

Twitter is transforming into X, as the site’s former bird logo has now been replaced by an official new X logo. Elon Musk, who owns the transformed social media site, began signaling the change early Sunday morning with a series of tweets, starting with one that said, “and soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and,...
