What is the use case for PayPal in the US?
It gives businesses a very easy to way to set up monthly payments, one-time donations, accept forms of payments other than e-transfer (which many people don’t want to use), allows for international purchases without being penalized, and more.
Other options are available, but they are neither easy/cheap/convenient for the business or any better for the customer.
Absolutely!
And I’ve had companies offer me a discount on product, rather than a full refund or replacement. I always refuse and state how disappointed I am. They pretty much always follow up with a full refund or new product.
Hell, I even ordered an indoor spin bike, complained that it used non-standard crank arms, and they refunded me $100 to replace the crank arms and pedals! Just for stating that I was unhappy with one aspect of an otherwise great purchase.
I’ve had Amazon listings where the title, description, specs on the box, specs on the product, and the reviews ALL had different information.
Who creates these listings? AI?
That said, I strongly encourage anyone who shops on Amazon to complain about issues in your reviews, and contact the seller if ANYTHING is wrong with your product. I have a 99% success rate of getting replacements or a full refund while doing this (resulting in basically a free product), even if the issue is cosmetic or a personal dislike. Just be honest.
Maybe that’s why you don’t have problems with most of sites from Europe?!?
That’s an interesting observation. I’m not sure, since I’m in Canada.
I use FF as my primary browser on my desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.
As much as I love and support FF and the Mozilla Foundation, I find that some websites simply need a Chromium-based browser to function properly. It’s frustrating as hell.
I wonder how many people tried FF, had their favourite site stop working, and then switched back to Chrome.
Getting ready to vote for him as president, again. 🙄
This changes nothing for Republicans. They still love him like a battered wife loves their husband.
Maybe I missed it, but it doesn’t say what kind of “AI” people are using.
Like, “AI” as in a grammar checker or an auto-reply in a text, or “AI” as in “this entire report was not written by me, but by AI”?
Floccus is what I use for bookmarks.
Works across pretty much any browser and on Android (maybe iOS, I’m not sure). I’ve got it set up on my Synology NAS through webdav, and it’s been reliable.
I do also use Linkwarden, but that’s more to collect web pages, and not just bookmark them. The archive feature is great, since it doesn’t rely on the page still being live to work.
Linkwarden and Floccus are very different, IMO.
+1 for Floccus. Been using it for a least a year. 👌
Been using this for a few weeks on my synology nas. Absolutely love it!
Doing your job at a high standard is a problem? Who makes this garbage up?
Just wait until AI starts rewriting history, changing historical facts, and purposely misinforms people.
It’s only a matter if time before AI will deny the Holocaust, Black slaves in the US, and the numerous African genocides.
Yes, it’s absolutely horrific where we’re at. But there is an upside!
If you’re able to acknowledge its existence and protect against it, you’ve built a tremendous foundation for preserving your mental health that will last a lifetime.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that these ad companies (and the companies who deploy their services) only have control over you if you give them permission to.
Man, I was considering an upgrade, but I absolutely don’t want anything to do with AI on my phone.
I want the hardware and some usable software to make my phone work the way I like.
Why does every damn company these days feel like enshitification is the only way forward?
Greece sounds like a hellhole.
Six-day work week. Get out of here.
