So are all PayPal users trans, or just dumb cuz they use proprietary software?
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
I assumed that this is supposed to be the norm, but yeh, funny meme. Good luck with getting your account removed.
I will delete my account now.
this is really funny to me but I don’t know how to explain why
I never had a PayPal but I know my dad did and he very strongly recommended I don’t get one, that they are bad for a lot of reasons, so I just never got one.
Are you dumb because the device you’re on uses proprietary firmware?
Yes
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)

To be clear, the meme is that PayPal shows the users’ dead names (presumably because the account was set up prior to their transition/legal reasons)
The “I do not see it” is referencing “not seeing” the dead names in the transaction details.
OOOOh, okay I didn’t get that one. Thanks for clearing that up. Actually didn’t notice that.
But you didn’t replace the proprietary bootloader, did you?
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?
Which open source software can I use to transfer money?
(not crypto)
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.
“bank transfer”
Laughs in US.
Banks are proprietary software
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.
You don’t have some system like IBAN allowing you to just send money to whichever bank you want within ome or two days (or in real time but with a fucking fee but that’s about to change)?
Not a universal one, no. But there is one that a lot of banks use called Zelle.
Truly, capitalism breeds innovation™
I just made a new account and deleted the old one when I needed to change the name. It’s stupid but it worked.
Is it hard to change your name on Paypal or something?
I think a lot of payment gateways require you to use your legal name, so if someone hasn’t gone through all the paperwork legally then your PayPal will have to say whatever is on your birth certificate
