So for today's #didit I planned to delete my #Paypal account.
I like to download all my data as is my right due to the #gdpr. Unfortunately it seems on Paypal you can't get your data without having a still active account, so I'll have to wait for another month to request deletion. Consider this a heads-up.
At least I made sure that I made sure that I won't use it again (removed bank, set daily limit, quit recurring subscriptions).
At least I got notified by Discord that they finally deleted my account. At least it did not take 90 days, like it does with Twitch. How is that even legal?
Bin gespannt auf den heutigen #DIDay
Nachdem ich bereits mein Ersatz- #Paypal Konto gelöscht habe, möchte ich mir heute mein Hauptkonto vornehmen und eine Übersicht von meinen letzten Nutzungen erstellen, ob es Gründe geben könnte es vorerst beizubehalten, oder es direkt zu löschen.
Außerdem bin ich am Nachmittag in #Ilmenau im @ilmspace

Wenn die Nachricht legit ist, die Absenderadresse aber 100 % nach Scam aussieht.

Der #diday ist ja eine echt tolle Idee. Ich würde gern mitmachen.
Allerdings bin ich digital schon weitgehend unabhängig. Nur eine Sache fällt mir ein: #Paypal durch #Wero ersetzen.
Der Haken: das würde mich abhängig von #Android machen und das will ich nicht. Naja, mal schauen. Vielleicht wird das ja noch möglich. Dann mach ich auch mit!

Ey, Fediverse! Wenn wir alle zusammenlegen, könnten wir uns dann vielleicht #PayPal kaufen und das in eine bessere™ Richtung lenken? Vielleicht reichen schon nur 50 Milliarden USD.

After a night of painful sleeplessness the old man drags his stiff breathless lifeless corpse out of a sunken bed of jagged shards of rocky thorns, unable to yet see as the classical music plays he drags himself off to prepare his coffee, as his hand tremble he pours in the water and counts the scoops of grind, fumbling he manages to plug in the percolator, as the coffee begins to perc, he stumbles off to the toilet where his bowels in protest roar out in a hungerous pain, gazing a glimpse in the mirror a man stares off into the abyss, his hair and beard disheveled, he struggles to brush them out as he sighs who cares anyways, shuffling back to his bed he struggles to pull on his socks and pants, he pours a cup of coffee and gently packs his pipe with scraps of tobacco, he pulls on his coat and slips out the door, the sun is weak and hiding in the clouds the air is mild, as the world begins to wake not a single soul seems to care for the enduring plight of a tumultuous life;

Gerade raus gefunden, dass #Wero (als Alternative zu #paypal) nur via App funktioniert. So viel dazu.🙃 Banking App kann ich auf meinem #Lineage Telefon vergessen. Mal wieder Zwang eine App zu nutzen / Google-Android zu nutzen… Toll. Nicht.

Hier in dem Rahmen bestimmt für alle nichts Neues, aber vielleicht was zum Teilen:

Unfortunately, it's come to my attention that PayPal collects or will collect more personal information than required for handling processing, like online behavior, and feeding that into their AI. This is a breach of privacy and trust. I am therefor canceling my PayPal account.
Unfortunately, because Bandcamp only allows Paypal for payment processing, Opaque Mass material will no longer be for sale on Bandcamp. In case this leads to a departure from Bandcamp entirely, be sure to download any material you've purchased.

@EclecticLexicon Have you tried #Vinted? No fees, no #PayPal. I've just started selling there and so far I like it much better than #Discogs.
