@underlap I can easily refund the transactions, but for this I'm waiting for feedback from Buy Me A Coffe's support.

@DeltaWye In this case it's a couple dozen $ in all.

@Extelec

@Extelec Yeah, that's what I suspected.

For the past decade my Buy Me A Coffee account got an average of one donation every one or two years.

But over the past week or so I got 3 donations of $6 or $9 each. All the transactions come from Hotmail addresses with usernames consisting of random sequences of letters and numbers, associated with Mastercard cards and accounts at the same bank.

This looks off and I reported it to Buy Me A Coffee but I'm wondering whether it's just me.

@elb That keyboard has PET vibes.

@thollief Right, I'm familiar with the metatphor. I'd add a similarity with the early days of radioactivity, when such substances were used everywhere including in kid products and beverages, as well as Thalidomide and CFCs.

These shiny new technologies were initially crammed everywhere. History shows that "progress" can and has been stopped or highly limited.

@jackdaniel

@jackdaniel Did you mean asbestos?

@alexgreen Good question, let's ask @pixelunion I presume a custom app helps support features such as this:

@pixelunion ☝️ PixelUnion, the hosted Immich solution that is an European alternative to Google Photos, now has its own Android app. So far PixelUnion was accessed with the Immich app.

@rc2014 LOL It reminds me of my cataract days.

@AverageDog I recommend Eternal September:

V86 is an x86 emulator that runs in the browser. It supports a selection of preconfigured historical and current operating systems, including a few rarely emulated ones such as Windows CE, and you can upload your own operating system image.

V86 is similar to the popular PCjs.

@byruit This intertubes thing looks interesting.

@billseitz Good resource, thanks.

@flowchainsenseifoss Why?

@underlap Microblogging and other feed-based systems have a small visibility window even when posts are permanently stored.

JA Westenberg on standing out by writing rather than networking:

Writing is its own form of networking, only scalable.

You put your ideas in public, and the right people find you.

@inscript That's an interesting use case.

@TritTriton Thanks, didn't know about Tilde.

@tuparev Power users probably prefer directly typing code in a formatting language as WYSIWYG editors introduce friction.
