I used to go to restaurants alone and I the last time I did it the waitress/owner started asking what I do and gave me the impression that she felt sorry for me.

Now it has been a while that I didn’t go. It wasn’t because of her but it I feel like it.

Censorship still exists in lemmy. I got banned from an instance just because I said some things that weren’t aligning with far left ideas. I was one of the active members of that instance (we were very few) on non political communities.

I made a political post and one of the administrators wasn’t OK with it and started insulting me and then banned me from the whole instance.

The majority of servers there are shipped from the US and shipping for me is triple the prices.

That’s what I am afraid of, some people told me that you end up having issues when you fill it up, so few years after if you buy an HDD a year.

I don’t understand why some says they don’t support HDD of more than 16TB.

I only have USB 2 but it is OK for my need right now.

I worked at company like stripe and exactly at the scope of authentication/liability. I am not sure about whatever you pay the charge back fee even though the liability is shifted from you to the issuer bank. Do you have 3DS2 enabled for your payments?

It is normal that Stripe mention the charge back fees as there are exceptions for strong authentication but it is worth asking them for details and whatever you pay the fee even when liability have been shifted. And maybe the issuer bank will just do refund and take the loss if it see the SCA have been done.

In Europe at least if strong authentication was done during the purchase (and it is mandatory since a few years), the merchant is protected and the bank issued the card will take the loss. They don’t need to refund or pay fees for charge back.

Some ads are just fraud too.
