And they’re not doing it to protect their customers. They’re doing it so only they have this data.

Your identity, most of the time, is not revealed to the merchant. The payments online and through a credit-card machine are processed through a 3rd party. The seller doesn’t get your info, only money on their bank account.
Doesn’t your credit card provider still get all your data?
E.g. doesn’t visa/mastercard know about every transaction? They charge fees and they have a fraud prevention systems. So, I think, they do, right?
Me in yurop, using a debit MasterCard, never needed a credit score. Who has my data, what are they doing with it, and how do I burn down their server?
(The answer, kids, is Stripe. Give it some years, it will be lit)
Tbh, just 20 years ago this would look like some alien technology.
And now with an exception of one funny mishap, you can actually fully rely on this translation.
ITT: a collective beating up of the OP.
btw, OP, I pirated like half a terabyte of FLACs (and when not available mp3s) back in my days. And also never heard of this term. Sounds like you’re just a bad pirate.
And so what? You could be an oil dictatorship prince and donate a billion to Signal. It’s not going to compromise it in any way that is not directly auditable.
So, your fuckin question is misguided. You’re “only asking questions” while implying intent.
What part of non-profit and open-source do you not understand?
Review the source, build it yourself, be happy. It uses well-known assymetric encryption algorithms. Not much your agency could really do here even if they harvest all the traffic from the server.
Dude, it’s a non-profit, and their biggest contribution is money that was made by selling WhatsApp to Facebook. Cuz the guy just couldn’t live with what happened to his creation.
You can always, always, plan things in a way that you’re an hour ahead of schedule. And you’ll be on time. Or like 30 min too early.
It’s your struggle and you can deal with it in a way that’s costly to you or to everyone around you.
And the trend this days seems to completely utterly ignore your symptoms, develop zero coping mechanisms, and then rant on lemmy about the cruel society.
yeah, but “I have ADHD, so I’ll never be on time” is a very shitty excuse. You waste other people’s time.
“I have ADHD, so I hate queuing, so I’m not going with you to that famous museum” is boundaries.
don’t confuse boundaries with expecting everyone around you to put up with your symptoms all the time.
OP listened to some trolls and unironically picked Gentoo as their first distro.
And it’s not like it’s gonna get better.
You’ll get more forest fires and draughts in summer and then, maybe, only -30 in winter.
Moving up north in Canada is, unfortunately, not a solution.
any indentation is fine in python. 2 spaces works, so does 3, so do 5.
and the plane in the picture is perfectly capable of transporting a plane. What’s your point?
People run around with smartphones, everyone needs to register at their residency address, most people casually pay by card/phone literally everywhere, e.g. you could tell how much they drunk on a Friday night and in what bar, but oh boy, no, no, no, lemmy needs to pay for car 20k in cash, so the car salesman could cheat on taxes.
You’re confused. You talk about EU but bring up an example from your broken af dumbfuckistan.
It’s illegal to discriminate like this in the EU and the credit score bs doesn’t exist, and everyone with a stable job gets their house mortgage.
This new measure will only stop criminals and money laundering or tax evasion. It will have absolutely zero impact on your regular citizens.
and so the internet wisdom has solved the person’s problem. Alas they will never find out
agree or disagree with facts and arguments.
Right now it’s not clear if your reaction is pointed towards the privileged mode or towards its criticism.
Good point. Time to gdpr my bank.
