      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

      Are you dumb because the device you’re on uses proprietary firmware?

        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.

            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?

        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.
