Looks like PayPal has locked me out of my money with a "no blind people allowed" sign. I'd be happy to retrieve the "accessibility cookie" except there's an error: "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONS..." Really? What gives? I have to log in to get support. Anyone have any ideas? #accessibility
@technocounselor Weirdly I just tried again a couple of hours later and I didn't get the CAPTCHA. Still it is fundamentally wrong to lock disabled people out of access to their own money and there should be a very special place in he** for people who insist on inaccessible design and code. #accessibility#PayPal#Fail
Daten mit "Partnern" Teilen heißt natürlich: Daten verkaufen. Mit Benutzerdaten wird schwunghafter Handel betrieben. Die "Partner" der ersten Stufe verkaufen die Daten weiter, und zwar in beträchtlichem Umfang. So partizipieren plötzlich hunderte andere Firme
@PC_Fluesterer tja #HowPayPalSharesYourData ... 😒 die offizielle Liste von #PayPal selbst, auf der die Darstellung ja basiert, ist mE nicht weniger eindrucksvoll, weil man da auch wirklich im Detail nachlesen kann, an wen und für welche "Zwecke" Daten wie Geburtsdatum, Passport-Number, Wohnadresse, Telefonnummer etc. oder auch einfach "All Account Information." fließen https://www.paypal.com/ie/legalhub/third-parties-list
...querlesen reicht zum Gruseln aus... 👻
Nutzt ihr #PayPal? Dann solltet ihr auch diese Betrugsmasche kennen: Unbekannte senden Geld und schreiben euch danach, dass die Zahlung ein Versehen sei. Sie bitten darum, den Betrag über "Freunde und Familie" zurückzuzahlen. Macht ihr das, ziehen sie anschließend ihre eigene Zahlung wieder zurück. Deren Zahlung ist für euch futsch und auch euer gezahltes Geld bekommt ihr nicht wieder!
I think #2FA with these little 6 digit codes from a dongle or a little app is a good hack to somehow fix our huge security and identity issues on the internet. But there are two implementations that make my blood boil every. single. time.:
#Paypal not accepting ENTER as confirmation of the entered 6 digit code (you need the mouse, arrrrgh!)
#Github just autoloading after the 6th digit is entered, because no-one ever mistyped anything.
Google's passkeys, introduced in 2022, have become a popular and secure alternative to traditional passwords, being used over 1 billion times across 400 million-plus Google accounts. These passkeys, which rely on fingerprints, face scans, or PINs for authentication, are faster and more resistant to phishing than passwords. Google plans to integrate passkeys into its Advanced Protection Program, enhancing security for high-risk users. Additionally, third-party password managers like Dashlane and 1Password can now support passkeys, further expanding their use. The technology is supported by major companies like eBay, Uber, PayPal, and Amazon, indicating a shift towards passkey-based authentication as a more secure and efficient method.
Ich bin überrascht, dass #Paypal das anscheinend noch nicht mitbekommen hat. Naja, teilen wir es ihnen mit:
#Höcke ist ein #Faschist, die #AfD ist eine #Nazi-Partei, und ihre Ziele und das Verhalten ihrer '#Politiker:innen' steht im krassen Widerspruch zu Paypals Regeln.
Also bitte, liebes Paypal, hör auf, denen beim #Spenden-sammeln zu helfen.
Despite receiving an SSI check, I only get $300 a month. I struggle with chronic fatigue, #MeCfs and #chronicMigraineseveryday, and do the most to help myself. I am not lazy and have a good work ethic if I could get a job. Every few dollars you give does help a lot. I need to afford basic necessities and medical care. #disabilityCrowdFund#CrowdFund#MutualAidRequest#MutualAid@mutualaid#GoFundMe#paypal paypal.me/brooketg22
Hey Fedi friends! It's the end of the month again which means it's time for a new mutual aid request. (This ended up being a little longer than I expected but bare with me! CashApp & PayPal links at the end! :floof_Heart:)
To try and keep this short and since many of the folks who have known me or seen me around the Fediverse know or have an idea of what the current situation is like.
I'm a minor with no source of income outside of coding which does not bring nearly enough in for me to even buy lunch most months so I have to resort to mutual aids or theft (Which got me in a lot of legal trouble, but fuck the corporates.). I need at least enough fundings to support me (Age 16, turning 17 this year) and my younger sibling (age 15).
I am a high school student living in a crappy situation with divorced parents. Where one house, the main house, I am refused basic needs such as, but not limited to, food, water, hygiene, clothing, proper medical care, etc. While the other house, my mothers, is a hoarder mess with little to no food, and when there is non expired food that has not been gotten into by animals, months, mold, maggots, etc, it is often times one of the following: Chocolate, cookies, Twinkies, hostess foods, etc. My mother hoards much more than just garbage but indeed, animals also. (With over 70 animals in the house and dogs who are not potty trained along with more animals, outside of the house).
Neither houses include proper medical care. I have a chronic skin disease that causes me severe pain and if it gets bad enough, it becomes an open wound that tunnels often times on my chest or on my legs. My parents do not supply the proper medications I need for these, and when asked or mentioned needing the medications, I get told "Get a job". (Which I am also not allowed to have.)
I'm constantly at risk of being kicked out of the house at any time without warning, a couple of months ago I was locked out of the house in regards to being trans and using my chosen name tho thankfully this was after a school play and I had a safe place at the time.
CPS does not listen. The cops do not listen. I cannot speak up about any of these issues even to trusted adults as this causes more issues at home and gets CPS involved.
Cost breakdowns for the month! Any extra fundings will be put towards getting my parrot a new urn (His last one unfortunately broke).
MEDICATIONS: $50 (4x meds for chronic disease (3 prescription + 1 one reg), anxiety/insomnia meds, pain killers)
CAT FOOD: $20
TOTAL: $500
NOT URGENT BUT STILL NEEDED: I will be doing commissions in regards to funding for this stuff, it might take a little bit but I'll do it o7
URN REPLACEMENT: $160 (I know this is expensive but it was the cheapest urn I could find that was made with a decent quality that would work better for traveling with him, as this bird means a lot to me, even in death. If you've known or seen me around within my past year and a half ish on Fedi you'd know how much my beloved Leo was worth to me<3)
(We attempted to fix the urn but it didn't work very well as it proceeded to keep breaking and at this point it's cheaper just to replace it)
LAPTOP FIX: $20
(Keyboard had an incident where one of the keys broke and need to be replaced, this was a rough estimate on the price it should cost from a friend. - The laptop doesn't have a warranty 😹 but I need this for personal use + school + studies)
Je viens de recevoir un appel d'un numéro belge, une voix robotique s'annonce comme étant PayPal et m'informant que je viens de faire une transaction de 582€.
J'ai raccroché direct, signalé et bloqué le numéro.
Brilliant! #PayPal now uses #HCaptcha too! SO I now can't log into it because no matter what you change the cookie will just not set, and they don't enable the text option. I apparently now need to switch to stripe to accept payments, I'm being locked out of a business account here because of this bullshit!
Just used PayPal for the first time in a long time and wow, it just seems barbaric in a post-Apple/Google Pay world. (The thing where you have to re-enter all the credit card details for the transaction if you have to add a new billing address is especially swearworthy.) #firstworldproblems#paypal
Hey,
Sorry to bother everyone with a #MutualAid request again, but I'm dangerously low on funds once again and I need to cough up £9.49 by April 26th or I'll lose my phone number. #blind#disabled#neurodivergent@mutualaid
Wow whee - just got an email from #PayPal to say that my #LastFM yearly subscription price changed from $30 to $50.
Crazy stuff. I get that inflation is a thing; but the site is entirely user contributed data - from the scrobbling of the tracks to editing data and uploading images and links in the database.
And they sell that data to other companies. And haven’t updated their website or apps in so, so, long. The whole thing is pretty much in maintenance mode.
Hmmm? 🤔
Ich hab so das Gefühl, dass es links ein Cent günstiger ist als rechts beim #Spenden .
Müsste das nicht theoretisch gleich groß sein der Betrag oder warum gibt es da einen Unterschied #PayPal ?
Naja: Jedenfalls spendet doch gerne auch mal eurer Mastodon Plattform einen kleinen Betrag, damit das Fediverse groß bleibt und nicht dann irgendwann Plattformen dicht machen müssen, weil die Spardose leer ist.
Das wäre furchtbar Schade für die Community.
Bitte spendet keine Unsummen und macht euch deswegen aber auch nicht Pleite. Spendet lieber regelmäßig kleine Summen, wenn ihr das wollt. Das ist einfach nachhaltiger für die Plattform!
In meinem Fall habe ich jetzt freiwillig einen kleinen Betrag an @MastodonDE gespendet, damit die Plattform mastodon.de ihre kosten etwas mehr decken kann.
Viele gute Server brauchen viel Leistung, also ist es nur sinnvoll, wenn viele Leute kleine Beträge spenden, um solche Server lange zu erhalten.
Das hilft auch allen, die es sich nicht leisten können Geld für Dienste zu zahlen und prägt nachhaltig die Plattformen Landschaft so das diese kostenfrei bleiben für alle. 😀
I don't even dare to bring up my other 2 accounts I can't access on #PayPal :blobblush: Worried they'll close my one working one when they start fixing the others so..
Again I'm calling with #PayPal and the suckers keep saying this is totally normal :flan_laugh:
Getting locked out your account is part of te process now
Another guy just told me it was my fault because I was using the PayPal iOS app and that should only be done for "checking real quick" not daily use :nkoFacepalm2:
